Re: Pathogenic tau/ cognitive impairment precipitated by high-salt diet

Chris Masterjohn sent a series of emails on vitamins and minerals. His advice was to get natural sources of potassium in your diet and then salt (NaCl) to taste since your body has a natural ability to signal for salt based on its potassium level. He suggested that people consume 4,700-11,000 mg/d o...

Re: Apolipoprotein B particles primary determinant of atherogenic risk?

Thank you for sharing, Brian. It's another good data point. From the study: ... all apoB particles are equally atherogenic. It sounds like they are saying apoB particles are necessary and sufficient. The other camp (Ivor Cummins, Dave Fledman, etc.) seems to agree on necessary but believe there need...

Re: New study - alcohol and dementia risk

There was no association of alcohol use with dementia risk in APOE4 carriers…in fact the risk ratio was nearly flat across the 4 categories of alcohol intake. Curious. Hazard Ratios: # drinks/week none…..0.1-0.9…..1-7…..7.1-14…..14+ APOE E4 + 0.93……ref=1…….0.74…...0.77…...0.77 APOE E4 - 1.27……ref=1...

Re: New paper implicating microglia in AD

What dose are you taking? I keep thinking I'm going to up mine. I'm taking 500 mg, was thinking about doubling, taking one in the morning, one around lunch. I'm taking 500 mg of trans-resveratrol extract with 10 mg of bioperine twice a day with my meals. I did have a few flighty moments recently an...

Re: Epigenetics - can we really turn APOE4 off?

Thank you, LG1. I am on Dr. Patrick's email list so this was a good reminder to read up on her summary. I was able to select a product. Chris Chris, I believe Masterjohn recommends a micronized version such as this one: https://revgenetics.co.uk/collections/micronized-resveratrol/products/m98-bulk-m...

Re: Epigenetics - can we really turn APOE4 off?

I'm interested in taking higher dose resveratrol as mentioned in the Attia/Sinclair interview. I looked at my traditional supplement brands of Jarrow and Pure Encapsulations but neither had anything that would give me a manageable number of pills to achieve a dose in the 500-1,000 mg range. There ar...

Re: need for help about lab results

Chris Masterjohn revised his recommendation earlier this year https://chrismasterjohnphd.com/blog/2019/02/26/mthfr-just-riboflavin-deficiency/ on lowering homocysteine to include more focus on vitamin B2/riboflavin (although a dose of 3-5mg/day doesn't seem like much when many supplements have 50mg)...
