And ignoring that the OP article is itself an assumption...

is denial. Whereas mine is a logical hypothesis. Again, got bias? Clearly.

Get your living will done; you’re gonna need it.

What is very interesting about this is it shows how couples can pass Alzheimer’s to their partners. Kissing can pass p. Gingivalis to another person. Spouses kiss and more, a lot. They might even share drinks and toothbrushes at times.

There may not be one specific discrete cause of Alzheimers, but this area does explain the familial non genetic tendencies. A spouse is rarely from the same genes. Yet many, many couples both end up with it.

What lets you know you have this bacteria in your mouth? Bleeding from your gums on brushing or flossing or probing.

What kills or prevents p. Gingivalis? Eucalyptus, neem oil, camomile, and honey (esp manuka honey). And watch whom you kiss this weekend!!

And watch your favorite movie every day.


But risk your loved one’s suicide. (This is my life; I care for mom with Alzheimer’s)

Sound like CNN, a reliable (unnamed source)

Why not try to be more insulting? I’ve managed his offices for years. You haven’t a clue what you’re talking about. He has more alphabet soup after his name and title than we can fit on the letterhead. Try reading the links on the link I provided above.

Guess will see who looses their mind 1st

You’ve already lost yours. He’s only been doing this for 44 years. . .

#2 Plax works well. Ortho B Glide for dental floss. Very smooth and cleans well. I use a water pic as well.
Toothpaste like: Parodontax, Crest Gum Detoxify, Arm & Hammer PeroxiCare
Wish I had done all this before all the dental bills!!

Plax https://www.amazon.com/Plax-Advanced-Formula-Plaque-Loosening/dp/B000052YD4?th=1

Ortho B Glide 6 pack https://www.amazon.com/Oral-B-Glide-Pro-Health-Clean-Flavor/dp/B001FWXSBU

There’s a commercial for some kind of drug where the wife says, “My husband began to believe things that weren’t true.” If the drug helps, we may have found a cure for Democrats.

Water picks are great. I can’t floss (dentist’s orders) so I use a water pick.
