This is a very sad story, absolutely no fun to read though it is beautifully written. I hesitated to share. But it makes a strong case for changes to our healthcare system and end-of-life policies. I'm glad the story was told. Sweethearts Forever. Then Came Alzheimer’s, Murder and Suicide. “They wer...

Ah. I understand. I am fortunate to have a cardiologist friend who took an interest in my case. I'd be happy to ask about this the next time I see him - maybe get his thoughts on that chart.

I'd be very skeptical of that chart. Maybe get another opinion from a cardiologist, or better yet an expert on lipids. Some one you could talk about particle sizes, oxidation, apolipoprotein ratios, etc.

The lipid experts I talk with get excited about the new, strong statins and the new PCSK9 inhibitors because they can indeed get someone's LDL down near zero if they want to. And they can see good improvement in CVD symptoms, even to the point of not opting to use stents in some cases to significant...

Hi. Good questions! Maybe this could help: The mitochondria are indeed passed down from moms, except in very rare and extraordinary circumstances. But their circular chromosome is relatively small. Over the course of evolution many of the mitochondrial genes have been transferred from the mitochondr...

Talked with Denesey, who seems very nice. While they might be flexible on the age requirement they are focusing only on individuals with some diagnosed MCI. Makes sense. They want to be able to show improvement, if it occurs. But they are still looking for participants.

Sulforaphane crosses the BBB and acts as an indirect anti-oxidant. It activates other natural anti-oxidant systems, lasting days compared to just hours for traditional anti-oxidants like vitamin C. So, that's another one.

Yes. The evidence is strong and accumulating. Not just for AD but also other dementias and Parkinson's disease, not to mention the rock solid evidence it contributes to CVD. Unfortunately, the nation isn't doing much about it. In fact, PM2.5 pollution is up in recent years, after declining for almos...

Thanks for sharing. I can see how this would be a huge help for research. And maybe we could know if our interventions are working. That would be good. But I have to admit my first thought was: this is terrifying. How would things change - insurance, job clearances, etc. - to have this on a medical ...

Wow! What a great resource. Thanks for taking this on!
