Default nice girija

i really appreciate your sequencing the events like that -it is helpful to the lay person. you might want to fix your space bar lol - almost missed your post and it's informative.

yes, antibiotics kill bacteria, infections are cleared, immune system calms down, inflammation is decreased or gone, microglia are not activated, neurons are safe.....Thats one way to connect the dots....
It is interesting that several paths leading to inflammation, cytokines and the immune cells.

Imad,
one way to explain antibiotics for PD is as follows:
Antibiotics kill bacteria
infection is cleared,
immune cells are not activated
so inflammation goes down
immune system calms down
cells that produce cytokines die or stop cytokine production
Inflammation and immune responses in brain decrease
regulatory T cells suppress immune responses in hte brain.
Microglia are no longer activated
Neurons are saved
