Actually, I read an article on sciencedaily.com about 2 months ago where a researcher took a tissue sample from an alz sufferer and injected into the brains of a dozen rats. Every single one of them developed the disease.

My money is on a bacterial/viral cause.

lol. They ought to break this study down by lib/conservative. Libs seem to stress out about everything with all their neverending crusades.

Always did figure the typical lib was more insane than sane.

Could be. We don't know, so I wouldn't rule anything out at this point.

I have noticed that certain behaviours and habits can affect the likelyhood of other diseases/maladies, from cancer, heart/lung/kidney/liver diseases, skin problems, etc., and I think that stresses on an organism may make it susceptible to infection.

It is likely there is no one simple answer for all cases, and we may still be misdiagnosing or lumping together separate maladies under a symptomatic classification even though their causes are unrelated.

Sounds like it, although it could a prion disease.
