It seems like they killed the gut bacteria with antibiotics, then transferred the bacteria from alzheimer's patients, causing symptoms.

I wonder if a second gut transplant from non-alzheimer's patients would reverse it?

I think that once you start having symptoms that it's too late because the bacteria has already spread outside your gut and at that point it'll be too difficult to put it back in check, it's passed the threshold
