We have 42,000,000 million proteins inside each cell. Chlamydia lives inside the cell; and H-pylori and/or its fragments can become intracellular. The pathogens foster a sticky intracellular environment, causing proteins to stick together and fold into abnormal shapes; and dispersion of abnormal proteins into adjacent tissue, the blood, and lymphatics.

In Parkinson’s, Lewy body proteins develop inside the nerve cell, i.e. intracellularly. In Alzheimer’s, clumps of proteins form outside the cells, between the nerves; and the clumps are larger than Lewy bodies. Developing Parkinson’s versus Alzheimer’s may be a question of which immortal pathogen(s) are causing the clumps of proteins, the route by which the pathogen reached and attacked the brain, co-infections in the patient, and other environmental triggers.
