Borreliae cause serious disease such as Relapsing Fever and Lyme Disease. American researcher Dr Alan Macdonald has repeatedly found evidence of this microbe in the autopsied brains of victims of Alzheimer's Disease, most recently using cutting-edge molecular biology techniques. Swiss scientist Dr Judith Miklossy confirmed these findings and also detected oral spirochaetes, normally associated with dental infection.
Because such infections are treatable, the potential implications of this research are enormous.
The Spirochaetal Alzheimer's Association is delighted to announce that Dr Alan Macdonald has agreed to be our Patron, and will be speaking on the Borrelia-Alzheimer's link at a meeting in London, England this June (date to be confirmed).
The meeting will be open to doctors, researchers, patients and their families, and the interested public.
We also hope to launch an informational website, and a petition asking the Dept. of Health to make the important research findings available to the medical profession and the public as a priority.
Please contact us immediately if you would like to attend the meeting with Dr MacDonald, and/or would like to volunteer to help make this event a success. All help is appreciated, however small. If you are unable to spare any time, perhaps you would consider a financial donation towards the costs of holding the event.
We particularly welcome people who are able to help with the following:
*media/publicity
*stewarding the event/welcoming attendees
*volunteer drivers to help ensure people with mobility problems can attend
*fund-raising to pay for hall, advertisement etc.
*leaflet and/or web design
If you are able to help with any of the above, and/or would like to register your interest in attending the event, please contact us immediately by emailing

Please circulate this message widely. Thank you and look forward to hearing from you soon!
