I kind of suspect that Alzheimer's has a multitude of potential causes, all of which have one thing in common: inflammation and scarring of the blood vessels in and around the nerve cells in the brain. I'd like to think an injection to remove herpes would be a panacea, but I don't yet have high confidence that is a common cause.
