[He sees the role of abeta very differently than those in the amyloid hypothesis camp. They suggest that abeta has has a causal role, whereas he thinks it's the result of the various insults. Hi Julie. With the success of current trials, I'm thinking that ApoE4s may actually fit into the amyloid ca...

Just to add a bit. My functional dentist now does a laser treatment at the end of every cleaning to help knock out any bacteria in my pockets. Seems to be keeping them small...

Thank you. I will try these resources if possible but they are not really close to me in the heart of silicon valley. Dr Joshua Knowles was referred by my cardiologist for my hard to treat cholesterol. He is at Stanford and works with genetics and understands some of the relevant issues regarding A...

I don't get it. So he wants to treat with drugs, but the drugs cause you muscle breakdown, right? Did he have a suggestion re a different type of drug? I was just amazed that he didn't seem perturbed by my high fat/protein diet. I'm getting some tests done tomorrow and we'll see what he recommends ...

Stanford put a stent in me a year ago and after my trouble with muscle breakdown on any kind of statin, they referred me to someone that works on hard to treat cholesterol.

Do you have any thoughts as to why it makes a difference? Thank you for your ongoing help. She usually tak...

I have a lot going on and don't know what is simply ok but not perfect and what is potentially serious. Allergies can mess you up - my wife has them to various foods, and it seems to change based on what she eats... A couple of things that she has found that helps is homemade kefir. She also finds ...

I can bring the latte spike down if I drink full-fat milk, but the saturated fat is a concern. She is testing for a bunch of stuff, and one of the 6 diagnosis codes is hyperlipidemia. I have not had any symptoms of muscle breakdown. I am lifting weights as well as before. Keep mindful of any extra ...

So...she prescribed 500 mg of instant release metformin, up to 2 pills 2 x per day. I took one this morning. My post latte BG was 116, not 150 - 180. I am working hard today, very intense, and my pre-lunch BG was 81! Not 105 - 115. Are you still doing well on the Metformin? It is a pretty standard ...
