The TV news shone a spotlight on Alzheimers yesterday by saying there
are two different
molecules of beta amyloid in the disease. One molecule is very small
and short compared to
the other beta amyloid. And those afflicted by the disease seem to be
flooded with the small
short variety. I tried looking up this new research but was unable to
find it.
I have a question about this finding. Can mercury metal make beta
amyloid shrink in size?
Can fluoride or mercury-fluoride make beta amyloid shrink?
Now this idea that the disease is of a different type of the molecule
from a normal person
is intriguing to apply to the other metal diseases such as Prion. In
Prion disease the prion
protein is well known to have many different types and whether the
most damaging prion
disease is the smallest prion molecule is a question. Now in
Parkinson's disease, the
protein involved there does not seem to come in two types where the
smallest is the
most damaging.
Here I have to ask whether mercury compounds can cause protein
shrinkage?
