Re: Experiences with Low Dose Naltrexone

There are 56 pages of personal experiences described on the Phoenix Rising Forum (ME/CFS) on this thread - https://forums.phoenixrising.me/index.php?threads/low-dose-naltrexone.292/ It's worth noting that a small number of people have bad responses - this person had the worst that I saw in there - h...

Re: Self lab test ordering online - US. Discount

Re: article: Iron Is the New Cholesterol

Thanks for posting. I have one copy of the gene for hereditary hemochromatosis but I'm iron deficient and if I don't take iron I end up sick all the time and wiped out. Interestingly, my ferritin gets extremely low also if I don't take iron. However, I also have a huge absorption issue with a lot of...

Re: Hormone Replacement Therapy E4 Women

So glad to see this thread here! I also started on HRT because of being almost totally non-functional when my estrogen tanked (1xE4). Seems like a lifetime since then, but it was only a few years ago (I was around 52 at that point) . . . I had seen the research about women take HRT who were APOE4 ha...

Hi! Great to see that thread. Also, I'd never heard of the BACE hypothesis. Will take a look at that too. Thanks!

Re: Dietary carbohydrates: role of quality and quantity in chronic disease

An interesting study on low-carb diets just came out. The news article is here: Eating a low-carb diet may shorten your life – unless you go vegan too https://www.newscientist.com/article/2176933-eating-a-low-carb-diet-may-shorten-your-life-unless-you-go-vegan-too/ And the original research study is...

Re: Dietary supplement may prevent and reverse severe damage to aging brain...

(New to this forum) I just did a search of the forum for "ginseng", since I've seen it mentioned in a few articles on APOE4 recently, and this was the top thread to come up, so I thought I would post this recent article here. I have a google alert for "APOE4" so I get a lot of od...
