And there might be a runaway/tipping point somewhere here: some amino acids have acidic metabolites and also need to capture hydrogen ions from red blood cells to metabolise/synthesise protein. Some of these metabolites also cause acetone build up in body, which starts to be expelled via lungs.
So combo of high rates of protein synthesis, abnormal blood plasma pH balance and increases cell oxidisation and anion gap == greater rate of prion formation and survival.
This is just a personal hypothesis, no real evidence to back it up. Just suggesting caution should be exercised here. PD is a horrible disease, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
