Have you tested positive for synucleinopathy?

There's a paper that suggests that Desulfovibrio infection (with particular, unnamed species) may cause alpha-synuclienopathy. Search for "Desulfovibrio bacteria enhance alpha-synuclein aggregation in a Caenorhabditis elegans model of Parkinson’s disease"

There's a paper which lists the susceptibilities of Desulfovibrio to various antibiotics. Search for "Susceptibilities of 23 Desulfovibrio Isolates from Humans"

There's a paper which describes polyphenolic acids that cross the blood-brain-barrier and inhibit aggregation and ameliorate neurotoxicity. Search for "Anti-aggregation Effects of Phenolic Compounds on α-synuclein"

Thank you for all of this awesome input. There are so few of us battling an invisible illness that's eating me alive from the inside out. I am grateful for your information and I most certainly will research everything you've said as well as present it to my doctor's and see if they have input as well. My main problem with any form of treatment, is there is nobody that has a single clue on what to do, due to how rare Pure Autonomic Failure let alone if it morphs into Multi System Atrophy. So any and ALL input is greatly appreciated and always followed up on. So thank you very much for all of your insights.
