Re: General Anesthesia & ApoE4

I would have her seek a second and third opinion on ECT and would want to see a 3/3 agreement on it's need before I would consider proceeding. That is a lot of stress on a 70 year old person. Too many unknowns here.

I would echo that on many levels, fasting might be the key to healthy, measurable, and effective weight loss in many people. Have you thought about fasting for longer periods?

Re: Creatine increase in PCC in early AD

On balance, I would not think that these complicated imaging studies should be viewed to suggested cause and effect. Here are two papers on the topic of creatine that you may find helpful. https://jissn.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12970-017-0173-z https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/articl...

More info on why APOe4 may be worse for women-And what you can do about it.

Make sure you are getting ample amounts of DHA.. Our findings show a strong association between age, female sex, and an APOE4 genotype, with decreased cortical DHA and a number of SPMs, which together may contribute to the development of cognitive decline and AD pathology. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.g...

Re: Anticholinergic Drug Exposure and the Risk of Dementia

Brian-I just saw this and posted a link just after you did not seeing your post. The concerning thing is as little as "3 years’ daily use of a single strong anticholinergic medication at the minimum effective dose recommended for older people" may increase the risk of dementia by nearly 50...

More Good News! Dementia can be delayed and MCI reversed!

Additional researchers assert after a recent review of the literature: Based on our survey of current literature and findings, we cautiously conclude that healthy diets, regular exercise, and improved lifestyle can delay dementia progression and reduce the risk of AD in elderly individuals and rever...
