Re: MUST READ for 3/4 carriers!

Julie, I beg to differ re e2/e4 vs. e3/e4 risk. The ADDF table you attached, what is the study reference? The vast majority of studies I've seen, the risk of AD is much higher e3/e4 vs. e2/e4. I list below 3 references/graphs, and several other references (I had many many more but did not post table...

Re: Book: The Mindspan Diet

I haven't read the book, and not sure what scientific studies the author references for his iron & AD thesis (quick glance seems to be a lot of "associations", e.g. fortified iron foods), but check out the Ferritin thread in the forum. There's been NO direct causative proof of serum ir...

Re: Intermittent Fasting ... my input

Just wanted to share how I've managed to do IF given that I never thought I could. For me it is not hell and I find it somewhat mentally satisfying. BTW... I have been able to keep my winter weight 15-20 lbs less than normal and am about 5 lbs up from my biking low for last year. It has been a LONG...

Re: MUST READ for 3/4 carriers!

Fascinating, I did not know that we had differing ratios of E4/E3 in our plasma! Apoe4 comprises at most about 25% of total plasma Apoe (both AD and normal cognitive controls). If you look at the graphical results, there are 2 persons that have apoe3 levels at about 120, whereas the average is about...

Re: Cerebral glucose deprivation linked to cognitive deficits, tau neuropathy & synaptic dysfunction

Is this your way of engaging us in "mental activities" Julie...these papers are very technical, difficult reads for us laypeople. :) Very interesting and exciting root cause work..taking h-tau mice (designed to express only human tau) and injecting them with 2-deoxyglucose (DG), inducing t...

Re: Chronic Inflammation as a contributor to Alzheimer’s

Mother nature spent hundreds of millions of years developing all these nutrient, polyphenol, antioxidant rich vegetable plants ("weeds") and herbs, and ancestrally, we've been consuming them for the last couple of millions of years, so you'd "think" it would be common nutritional...

Re: Chronic Inflammation as a contributor to Alzheimer’s

Endive, basil, chicory, radicchio, romaine, fennel bulb, dandelion...all readily consumed in a traditional mediterranean diet (6 of these are in my fridge). If I'm making a salad, it won't be without endive or radicchio or fennel. Chicory and Dandelion, talk about two ancestral "weeds". ht...

Re: NMR LipoProfile Test Result Questions

Yes it is a tradeoff, I am trying to stay more on the longevity side of the line at this point in my life. Trying to keep my IGF-1 and mTOR low while still staying healthy and keep some muscle. I am also curious what Dr. Gundry's thoughts are on developing / maintaining muscle without mTOR and keep...

Re: NMR LipoProfile Test Result Questions

Noted, at later stages in life, the cholesterol inverse applies: higher cholesterol = reduced mortality. Yes, it's pretty much a correlation with reduced health later in life...loss in BMI and strength, neurodegenerative, metabolic syndrome. But in midlife , from what I've read, having high choleste...
