It is fact that the brains of alzheimers patients have an elevated level of 
aluminum
in them.  It is unclear whether aluminum in the brain causes alheimzers, or if 
the
disease causes accumulation of aluminum in the brain.  Also it is unclear how 
the
aluminum gets in the brain, since I believe it is suppose to be stopped by the 
blood
brain barrier. Since there is a great deal of aluminum and aluminum compounds 
around
us and in the soil, there is likely some other unidentified mechanism at work.

One of the latest things I read was that it could actually be caused by a prion.
