Surprising Facts About Lyme, Alzheimer's and Dementia

In this episode of the Love, Hope, Lyme Podcast, Fred Diamond interviews Nikki Schultek, author of "Free From Day One for Chronic Lyme Survivors," about the connection between Lyme disease, other infections, dementia, and Alzheimer's. Nikki shares her personal journey with chronic Lyme and co-infections, which led her to found Intracell Research Group and the Alzheimer's Pathobiome Initiative (AlzPI). She explains how infections can potentially trigger or drive Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, emphasizing the importance of screening for infections in patients with cognitive decline. Nikki also provides advice for chronic Lyme survivors concerned about Alzheimer's and encourages them to seek out Lyme-literate physicians and stay hopeful in their search for answers.
