So sorry for the passing of Russ Bell. I knew him back at AMD; I was an engineer, manager, and director in NPD. Russ was a light in any room he entered. Thank you for your fortitude in exploring his condition.

I suspect Lyme disease to be the culprit in both my grandfather's and my uncle's "Alzheimer's" diagnoses and ultimate deaths. They were both diagnosed within a few years of one another and both were avid hunters.

This is the truth So many people could be helped if the me3dical fraternity would only listen about chronic bacterial infections in the brain!
