Alzheimer's and the dysfunctional mitochondria.

Hypothesis:  Damage to the mitochondria causes Alzheimer's: methanol (aspartame creates this), diacetyl (artifical butter), and alpha herpes viruses (like the chicken pox virus)

Alpha-herpes viruses : HHV1, HHV2, HHV3 (zoster which is the chicken pox virus)

Alpha-herpe viruses destroy host's mitochondrial DNA

the alpha-herpes virus drives the mitochondria down the nerve root to other nerves!

Note that the herpes viruses may use estrogen beta receptors to get into the mitochondria.
reactivation of herpes virus is linked to the estrogen receptor
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2798450/

Imagine the herpes virus traveling down the nerve to the next one in little mitochondrial cars and breaking them as they go.

Mothers of kids with down syndrome and risk of alzheimer's (faulty mitochondria through age?)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7914304

Mothers give a grab bag of mitochondrias to their children. "the good, the bad, and the ugly" mitochondrias are randomly given to offspring. Sometimes more bad then good.  A mother can develop Alzheimer's sooner but it depends on how many dysfunctional mitochondria she has.

Amyloidosis is the high with Agent orange patients
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24906069

Auxins (agent orange chemicals) bind the mitochondria directly causing dysfunction
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11566291

The Amyloid show up in the legs where people had been exposed to the chemical auxin and further supports the notion that when mitochondrias are broken that amyloid results.

APP function...why does amyloid build up?
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26274614

I had suggested that it was a serine protease growth key, a necessary function

I need to figure out the date i wrote this for the forum.

NO and brain mitochondria
http://www.nature.com/nrm/journal/v3/n3/abs/nrm762.html

Now imagine in an active neuron the mitochondria car is moving quickly down the microtubular tracks to the synapse...NO would normally halt the movement. If the mitochondrias had not reached their destination would the synapse send an app signal in an attempt to keep the mitochondrias moving?

Amyloid-beta inhibits NO formation
http://www.jneurosci.org/content/25/29/6887.full
 Is amyloid-beta  the growth switch clipped because it is not working?

But if nitric oxide was not the reason the mitochondria wasn't moving....would amyloid-beta continue to be made and sent in desperation by the synapse? If herpes viruses were destroying the mitochondria would NO be low because of amyloid-beta?
