Re: Statins when you’re homozygous APOE4

Here is a niacin case study on Lp(a) Also, Gundry has me take Amla for my mildly elevated Lp(a) . It mildly reduces Lp(a) and keeps my serum results in the good zone. From a transcript of me talking to him about this: Me: Okay. Okay, the thing that's maybe not tooth related is the, which is always ...

Re: 24 and 4/4

What also makes me sad is the lifestyle changes I know I’m gonna have to make in order to combat this. I live in Boston with my best friends! We’re in the primes of our lives! We like to go out and get drinks and eat unhealthy and occasionally share a cigarette. This is how I’ve spent the last six ...

Re: Statins when you’re homozygous APOE4

I think I recall that the lipidologist Thomas Dayspring recommends a desmosterol test before putting Apo E4's on statins. Here is Dayspring's X post on the topic. Low desmosterol, a biomarker related to cholesterol synthesis & low levels predict AD. When using statins at any dose in patients wi...

Re: Statins when you’re homozygous APOE4

Once the doctor and I get the calcium score we can have a more informed conversation about statins. My biggest questions are: - What more can I do with diet? Avoid processed foods, minimize saturated fat. Gundry likes perilla seed oil (and he likes Dr. Adorable brand on Amazon). He mentions a speci...

Re: AFIb

Thank you! Please share who you think is the best ablating electrophysiologist? The best ablating EP is Andrea Natale in Austin. As you might expect, it will take a while to get a consult and to schedule an ablation. This is a very good afib message board. If you wonder why I've suggested Dr. Natal...

Re: AFIb

Does anyone who follows brendensen have recommendations on treating afib? Is medication or ablation better? I know statins are a definite no for 4/4. Statins won't treat afib, no matter what. Afib is an electrical heart problem, statins are designed to treat the plumbing. I've had afib for 3.5 mont...

Re: Methylene Blue AD Cure Celebration Thread!

T, thanks. That's what I thought. I confess my kitchen is filled with blue stains, but I think I now know how to put the powder in capsules carefully. It seems like the easiest approach, for me at least. My next question is about getting non-contaminated MB. I got a chemist friend to test what I us...

Re: Methylene Blue AD Cure Celebration Thread!

Quick question. Everyone seems to be speaking about taking MB as liquid drops. Is there some reason that is escaping me as to why one couldn't just put the right amount of powder into a capsule and pop the capsule? I have an accurate milligram scale, and lots of capsules. Per Dr. Gonzalez-Lima - hi...

Re: ACE trial: Arterial Stiffness, Cognition and Equol

Cool! Are you going to build your own? We're enjoying ours. I haven't experimented with breath holding yet, but I will. FWIW, I find myself purposefully breathing very deeply and slowly, even while I'm sprinting to maximize the effect of the oxygen. I very well may construct one. What is your basic...

Re: ACE trial: Arterial Stiffness, Cognition and Equol

True. He is not a fan as most working to prevent or reverse AD already have some degree of hypoxia. That said, he acknowledges that it would be very helpful for those working to acclimate to high altitude. I bought a standard system without adaptive contrast, so I'm just experiencing 20 minutes of ...
