Hi all. I tried to get everyone who was interested, along with their locations (see below). If you didn't get an email, let me know. It seems like we have enough to start planning date and location. Based on the 8 folks, I think it looks like maybe Marin would be the center... KatieS, does that work...

There is evidence that some infections that have repeated flare-ups can further weaken the BBB and result in more AB, so this is something that needs to be addressed.

How are we supposed to pronounce PSu82!? I'm okay with whatever name, and completely understand anyone wanting to stay In the closet about this. I myself am about to get a government pension, so I'm feeling less concerned than I might otherwise. It's already too late for me to get long term care...

You do that by clicking the quotes in the upper right of post you want to reply to. By default, the whole post is copied...

I’m interested. I’m in Napa. Welcome GoldenGirl! Once we get some more folks, we can start figuring out when and where to meet. I'm also 4/4 and this site has been a great source of information and supportive people. If you look in the Getting Started thread, you will see the Primer- a great place ...

I've seen reference in the Wiki that says ApoE4s do not benefit from exogenous ketones (that the blood ketone level did not even rise), but when I look at the research, I'm not finding anything newer than 2004 that really supports this.
