Mainstream neurologists and psychiatrists have largely refrained from serious
consideration of a virus cause of common brain diseases. This is mainly because
of the general lack of any accompanying immune system stimulated inflammatory reaction within the brain. This article exposes a weakness in this argument by describing the process of “stealth adaptation” of viruses. Deletion or mutation of relatively few virus components can result in derivative viruses, which are no longer effectively recognized by the cellular immune system. Consequently, there is no triggering of the inflammatory response. Furthermore, the brain is uniquely susceptible to symptomatic illness caused by stealth adapted viruses.
An understanding of stealth adaptation greatly expands the potential scope of
viral illnesses. It also underscores the value of using virus cultures as a diagnostic tool and of taking appropriate measures to avoid transmission of infection. More
importantly, therapeutic measures are available for suppressing both stealth
adapted and conventional virus infections through enhancement of the alternative
cellular energy (ACE) pathway. Such measures are available for clinical evaluation in treating many of the major illnesses affecting the brain, including Alzheimer’s
disease.
