Dredging, sluice, mercury catches gold. Beta Amyloids caught by unknown chemical compound and disposed.

Unundated sp? by medical terms. Straight shot. Chemists and engineers use a hand book.

I thought I already commented. NO is the answer. I am no expert but I did get a chemistry degree from Stanford and graduated in 1955. Should have been the class of '54 but I played around and had to go an extra 2 quarters. Quant and Statics were real bears. Physics to Chem Engineer to Chemist. Just call me for dinner.

Twilight Zone? No - sounds a bit more earthly than that. I believe Heidi has been reading some of Timothy Leary's works and trying out his theories.

I am one of the few that still remember the 60's - I've heard this kind of talk before.

Then I still have no idea what you are talking about.

Could you perhaps elaborate please? I am sure I am not the only one trying to make sense of this post.

Re: Heidi

When I fought fires in Northern Calif.---State Dept. of Forestry, our barracks were near a man who operated a dredging operation. On my days off I visited the family. This is in Fort Jones, Calif. ; over the hill was Yreka. Anyway, I went out with him to visit his dredging operation; pile after pile of sand, gravel, etc. were along the path of the operation. The mixture of gravel, etc. went down a sluice which contained mercury. In his back yard the mercury was distilled off, leaving the mined gold.

So, if mercury absorbed the gold, why can't a inorganic or organic compound absorb the beta alkaloids? Then, the mixture could be eliminated. God knows how.

There are many mercury free concentration methods.

artisanal and small scale gold mining without mercury

I thought Cyanide had taken over from mercury in modern large scale gold mining as a safer and environmentally friendlier alternative.

Here's a link. Mercury was and still is used to purify the mined gold. As you mentioned however it does not react with the gold, but the unwanted junk the gold is mixed in with (otherwise you would destroy the gold).

Now I understand a little better. The mercury gets rid of the bad stuff. What is the formula for the beta amyloids. Need a chemical reaction that makes the amyloids something else. Breaking ring structure, new compound and viola. Fancy jargon, hey what? Lots of etc.'s

Oh well. Is there a organic or inorganic compound that can dissolve the amyloids.? Darn spelling.

So you graduated Stanford in 1955? That is 61 years ago, that would put you in your 80's. And you are here dancing with this bunch? If this is true, my hat is off to you!

If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

I book marked a couple protein chain articles. One could be used by teachers.

From where I could go from there is a good question

I am 84.

At least with the bath breaking thread the original point of the thread was obvious.

I'm still lost. Did someone turn two pages at once or am I just reading the wrong book entirely.

See note 22 and go from there. There seems to be leaks in the capallaries speelling but Joe the Plumber probably is not a speller either. Look at the mess of rocks and gravel along a dredging operation. Not that itrelates directly with all of this, but aylenoids do cause problems when I believe are emitted somewhere along of the passage of whatever flows throw the channel (capillaries { wrong way Charely, to spark the memory.

The nodules on both end sections of Borrelia burgdorferi excrete sticky Outer Surface Proteins that they use to attach themselves to various types of host cells. When they squeeze through a pore in the sidewall of a veinuole as depicted in the great paper, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2408724/

The sticky Outer Surface Proteins they use to attach themselves to the inner endothelial cells in order to excape the veinuole gets left behind, stays attached to the sidewall and ends up appearing as a foreign substance, gets and antibody attached to it, and when it gets eliminated by a white blood cell, the endothelial cell it is attached to may get destroyed in the process.

What is the formula for this protein, amyloid? What is the best way to change its structure to a less harmful chemical structure? Would it twist?

.."Amyloid beta ( or Abeta) denotes peptides of 36–43 amino acids that are crucially involved in Alzheimer's disease as the main component of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of Alzheimer patients. "...

Peptides are basically proteins, and as are all proteins, they are made up of different amino acids...

..."Generation of the 40 or 42 amino acid-long amyloid-β peptides that aggregate in the brain of Alzheimer's patients requires two sequential cleavages of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Extracellular cleavage of APP by BACE1 creates a soluble extracellular fragment and a cell membrane-bound fragment referred to as C99. Cleavage of C99 within its transmembrane domain by γ-secretase releases the intracellular domain of APP and produces amyloid-β. Since gamma-secretase cleaves APP closer to the cell membrane than BACE1 does, it removes a fragment of the amyloid-β peptide. Initial cleavage of APP by α-secretase rather than BACE1 prevents eventual generation of amyloid-β."..

Amyloid plaques are formed by the joining of different cleaved portions of other proteins, and for some reason sometimes they are not metabolically cleared as waste....they seem to clog up the drain in some cases....

..."The glymphatic system clears metabolic waste from the mammalian brain, and in particular beta amyloids.[17] The rate of removal is significantly increased during sleep.[18] However, the significance of the glymphatic system is unknown in clearance of Aβ.[19]"...

Sounds terribly complicated. Need a flow sheet. Need to study the periodic table. What can replace nitrogen, NH2 type , protein. Acids COOH I think. Neutralize the acids. What causes cleaveges sp. I have a old lab book somewhere. Organic chemistry lab books have all kinds of different lab procedures. spelling bad. Of course the brain is not an erlenmeyer flask.

If there so many bits of information, maybe the comments can all be grouped into some logical grouping.

This comment could be consdered a cop out. But what can be done?

Most books have a table of contents.

Re: Heidi

This is strictly my unprofessional opinion: I believe the groundwork for Alzheimer's is set through compromise of the blood/brain barrier, probably from a prolonged episode of gut bacteria death or chronic intestinal illness. Once the process is initiated it can't be stopped, as it is a natural biological process that is fundamental to the life process. It can be mitigated by a lifetime of healthy gut bacterial management, exercise to promote blood flow to the brain, and daily mental and physical exercise including new and different environmental stimulus and hands on problem solving of a changing nature. A balanced diet, general overall health and lack of traumatic injury (extreme loss of blood) are also considered mitigating factors. These opinions are based on my research and general observations. It is likely that we all accumulate brain plaque as we age; those that succumb vs. those that don't are determined by these listed mitigating factors. Not considered here are genetic factors that may play a role in some instances, but age is by far the most influential risk factor.

Dr. alan McDonald has found whole dead Borrelia in every Alzheimers plaque sample he has ever seen.

Borrelia steals acetylcholine anywhere it can, usually by binding Galectin-3, a myelin repair protein, from the surface of nerve covering causing Wallerian Degeneration and exposing a feeding station to steal acetylcholine from the exposed nerve.

When Borrelia travels into the brain via the circulatory system and enters the branched capillaries it can attach itself to the capillary sphinctor, a smooth muscle valve at the entrance of the capillary. There it steals the ATP from the surface of the capillary sphinctor which can cause that capillary to remain closed instead of pulsing open and shut. The contents of the cspillary then will stagnate and die. The capillary will then form a film over the debris and split open longitudinally and dump out the debris as plaque.

All of these processes are fully documented in current research.

True, Borrelia passes the BBB quite easily being on 1 micron in diameter, smaller even that it's own primitive eggs.

Mercury doesnt catch gold, it floats everything else up off of the gold....density thing.

You want to get rid og alzheimers amyloid plaque just kill off the B.b. causing the capillaries to dump out the plaque. You cant clean up around a leaky pipe until you fixthe leak.

I found a way to cure ASD that same way.

What would cause the B.b, or in other way of saying it; what would cause the leak. How do you find it? How do you fix it?
