I was wondering if getting too many dental x-rays can be harmful to those of us with the 4/4 Gene. It seems that every time I go they want to do x-rays, and I’m concerned that two or three X-rays a year may be concerning. TIA.

I forgot my password and admin sent temporary one, but how do I change that temporary password?

Out of 7 siblings, ages 72 to 60, only one is thinking about getting tested. The others don’t want to know or think the test is wrong because of our family history.

I have the APOE4 Gene. With all the reading I’m doing I realize that I inherited it from both parents. Neither of my parents had AD, they were 73 and 75 when they passed. No one in my entire large family had AD. That includes both sets of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and lots of cousins, on both sid...

Sorry.... but my question posted before I was ready to post it. :-/. But I just wanted to add a thank you in advance for any advice I can get. )

The Med diet allows breads, yogurt and other things that contain sugar, so I’m not sure that’s the way to go for me. I also plan to incorporate the Mind Diet because that s...

Anna, I was livid!! I thought I was just going for my yearly blood work. I knew she wanted to get extra info on maybe my cholesterol or blood pressure which she did, but the genetic testing?? I had no idea!! I was shocked when she told me that. I was sick, my daughters are worried, we’re worried for...
