Re: Higher phosphatidylcholine protects against dementia

My Recode Report from AHNP recommends 500 mg of Citicoline 2x day to equal 1 g/day. My calc from the Masterjohn says I need 7 yolks which is 952 mg per day. So I am good right? Maybe not. The problem is that according to Consumer Lab Citicoline is only 21% choline! So my 1 g of citicoline is only 21...

Re: Progesterone

I take my progesterone 200 mg at bedtime with water, approx 3 hours after eating. My levels tend to run low-ish but this dose of progesterone seems to be the maximum recommended. Slacker, I am taking 400 mg of progesterone as prescribed by my doc. She said my progesterone/estrogen ratio was off. I ...

Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma FMD referral needed

Hello friends, I realize this is a bit off topic but my sister asked me to find a referral for them and so I thought I would ask the most helpful and caring people in the world. My brother-in-law has cancer and has fought it for 14 years. His immune system is shot and his quality of life is not good...

Banza! Great Pasta

Friends, a friend turned me onto this pasta which was $2.99 at Target. It is made from chickpeas and tastes like the real deal. Meaning it tastes like al dente pasta. I put some Kirkland pesto on it and find it very satisfying. I have only had the penne. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180428/89a...

Re: Early detection and possible approach to preventative treatment

I don't know why I had it in my head that NSAIDs were bad for Apoe4's? I play tennis and have had more than one doc suggest use of ibuprofen to reduce inflammation in a knee or ankle. I told them I couldn't take it because it was bad for my brain. Where did I get that?

It is an easy test as it only needs urine samples that are collected and dried on cardboard pieces. It collects 5 different samples over a 24 hour period so it shows fluctuati...

Re: A Little Help w/the numbers and a Note of Caution

Julie, thank you for your response. My BMI is 22 and I lost 25 pounds in about 4 months. When you say... My TSH also started to creep up as I adopted this approach and I responded by taking a tiny (1/4 grain twice daily of WP Thyroid 65mg); 50% less than my FMP recommended. I got terrific gains. I'm...
