I am having an epiphany. Maybe this &quot;Alzheimer protein&quot; is supposed to be the brain&#x27;s defenses to something much worse.  Maybe this protein is a &quot;reaction&quot; similar to skin rashes when it absorbs poison ivy&#x27;s urisol.<p>If Alzheimer was simply a deficiency of nutrients, I wouldn&#x27;t think this way, but if it really is a protein that &quot;can be cleared&quot;, why did it get there in the first place?
