Re: Does ketosis cause AD?

Thank you, Julie. Do you know where they (Bredesen, Gundry) stand on ghee? Dr. Bredesen is fine with E4 folks consuming A2 dairy if they're not sensitive. (His red flag concerning SFA affecting LDL-P still applies, so moderation is key is that's an issue.) FWIW, I suspect that many folks are intoler...

Re: Does ketosis cause AD?

Thank you, Tincup! Before I forget, and this is a minor detail but one you might help me iron out: are both Bredesen and Gundry against ALL dairy? Or do either make exception for A2 dairy or goat or sheep...? For E4's Gundry suggests minimizing/avoiding animal fat including A2 dairy, goat & shee...

Thanks! Yes. I read about that in the Bredesen book but didn't quite lock on to the details.

Re: Does ketosis cause AD?

Thanks, Julie. Very helpful. What you say confirms what I suspected--that Bredesen seems to be in harmony with most of the Gundry/anti-lectin diet. In the Bredesen book, I don't think he comes out clearly and squarely in support of the whole Gundry thing, but I think may mention Gundry--or at least ...

Re: Does ketosis cause AD?

Sorry if I missed answers to my question earlier in the thread, but...
Is anyone here familiar with both Bredesen's diet in The End of Alzheimer's
and
Dr. Gundry's diet/s ?

What are the similarities and what are the differences?

Yes, exactly. Thank you.

Re: Bredesen Protocol lab test: "A/G Ratio"

Sorry, never mind. Finally figured it out. It seems for some reason the online lab sites do not index that Bredesen protocol test. But it can be derived if you order what, at most sites, is called a "comprehensive metabolic panel." In that panel of tests there is, among a lot of other thin...

Bredesen Protocol lab test: "A/G Ratio"

In Bredesen's book, his protocol includes the lab test he calls "A/G Ratio". Oddly, when I try to find that lab test at the various online lab test sellers (True Health, Direct Labs, Walk-In Lab, Request a Test, etc), none of them list such a test. Looks like that test also goes by differe...

Best and most economical APOE genetic test?

Note I tweaked my subject line. Now I'm asking opinions about what APOE genetic test to buy online. I don't want the 23andMe test, because that doesn't give the complete APOE picture--just the APOE4 as I understand it. So far I'm not seeing many options. Maybe only one. I think the online middleman ...

Re: Bredesen lab tests: best online labs to order through

Yes, and many other online middlemen as well. I think it won't be long until some of those outlets offer a specific "Bredesen Tests" panel. But not yet, I guess. So I will have to go cobble together the long list of labs laid out in the Bredesen book.
