But then again is it the virus causing the problem, or mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation making people susceptible to both🤔

Good post. This is the reason one of the pillars of my protocol is to try and suppress EBV titers.

Good idea. I do think that being susceptible to a bad dose of a virus could be due to inflammation in the body so the question is does the virus cause the neuro conditions or is the inflammation the trigger?

You are more likely to get a bad cold or herpes or glandular fever etc if you are tired, low vitamind, unhealthy diet or overly stressed or sleepless. All those things also seem to make PD worse.

Our provider here says that inflammation is the key to all of this. It is logical that viruses could cause or increase inflammation.

True

Yes sometimes newspaper headlines often take a correlation and assume it to imply cause. Maybe these cases have a common vulnerability to both.

I'd be interested in how they selected cases. Had any of these people also had a vaccine?

I'd never previously had a serious virus.

Yes, here’s the paper they were getting it from
