In “The Origin of Disease: The War Within” we wrote that abnormal proteins generated by immortal pathogens are not alive; and thus, cannot be killed. Abnormal proteins cause tissue to stick together, become inclusion cysts, are a focus for immune system attack, and adhere to and alter genes and gene expression. Understanding immortal pathogens are generating abnormal proteins may lead to alternatives for treatment, and new ways to eliminate abnormal proteins in the body after acute and chronic infection.
Plasma exchange was now reported to have been tested in moderate Alzheimer’s disease, to remove excess proteins/plaque; and the treatment improved cognitive function. Finding ways to remove abnormal proteins from the body could become important in improving outcomes in some chronic diseases.
