What really causes Dementia? Says a medical headline, “Almost 50% of Global Dementia Cases May Be Preventable” (1). And they have no idea that mycotoxins, like antibiotics, are neurotoxic! Would that number increase to 95%? According to the article, “The 12 risk factors cited in the 2020 report are lower levels of education, hearing loss, hypertension, smoking, obesity, depression, physical inactivity, diabetes, excessive alcohol consumption, traumatic brain injury (TBI), air pollution, and social isolation.”
But a 2020 study quickly cut to the cause of dementia for me. The study (2) was a large one and concluded, “Our review suggests common bacterial infections may be associated with an increased risk of subsequent dementia.” While I wholeheartedly disagree that infections lead to neurotoxicity, I am certain that antibiotics, used to treat bacterial infections, do contribute to dementia and many other neurodegenerative conditions.
My purpose for writing these blogs is never to undermine doctors or drug companies. Rather, it is to educate you on how commonly diseases are blamed on us, and not on the drugs we take. A final quote from the article seems to blame us again but offers a real clue to a true cause of dementia; “health seeking behavior could affect the likelihood of a dementia diagnosis.” Be careful out there and always ask if drugs are absolutely the only route to recovery.
