Thank you for posting this! I read mostly the CVD part, and got pretty bogged down. This part jumped out to me/interesting although it is not proven: The current understanding is not that elevated plasma plant sterol concentrations per se increase the risk for CVD, but that individuals characterized...

Welcome CJ and thanks so much for sharing your story. I can only imagine how you felt getting that call; I agree with all of the great comments above. There is so much great knowledge on this forum, as well as a feeling of fellowship. You have every reason to be hopeful about implementing some new s...

Resurrecting this post. I have elevated apoB, and blood tests indicating absorption of abnormally high levels of plant sterols (esp very high beta-sitosterol) (along with high synthesis). Along with a family history of small vessel disease in the brain affecting cognition. After reading past posts h...

I'm curious to hear others thoughts on supplemental manganese taken daily via something like a multivitamin. While the element is a required trace mineral, it also acts as a neurotoxin in larger amounts -- this seems at least as sketchy as taking vitamin E, calcium, iron, or copper. Thank you for t...

I have finally run my data through Found My Fitness, and it looks like supplemental vitamin e is a bad idea for me too. Unfortunately I may stop taking the Pure Encapsulations ONE.

Is it possible that any of the meds are affecting weight gain? My mom initially lost 20 pound after dementia dx, and was on galantamine for a few years. When she came off galantamine (due to headaches) she slowly gained the weight back, and now is at her middle aged weight again. My understanding is...

Thanks all, I think I'll give the lavender a try!

Thank you! I don't remember anyone landing on a drug that helped during this stage. I found that all of this did indeed decrease with time and my mother became calm and sweet again. That is great information. We moved pictures of her parents out a couple of years ago-- when upset she would say "...

Hello to caregivers, past and present! I am wondering if anyone has experience with medications to treat anxiety in moderate to severe AD (approx stage 6). My mom has struggled with this on and off for a few years, but at this point it is very adversely affecting her quality of life. Lately when we ...
