Re: Melatonin

Re: Melatonin

What do you guys think about rather using the body's in-built mechanism for producing melatonin rather than a random supplemental dose that we don't know is an appropriate dose or not? I have recently come off amitryptilene and the far too frequent zopiclone (zolidem to you USA people) after several...

Re: Promoting Neuroplasticity

Julie, this paper is fabulous! I was particularly struck by the top of page 17, where it talks about how exercise works synergistically with diet. I am cautiously encouraged that we on the forum may be a subset whom, by assiduous attention to diet, exercise, BP, enriched environment, will not be rep...

Paradigm shift?

I've been thinking, my whole life I've assembled a meal as a macronutrient-paradigmed threesome: protein, carbs, veggies - in different proportions over the years, but that was the framework. I was now thinking about designing my meals around a wide variety and densest concentration of micronutrient...

Re: PREDIMED-NAVARRA

Re: PREDIMED-NAVARRA

I've looked at BMJ copyright conditions - authors retain copyright, BMJ just has the licence to publish.
I guess I can email the authors and ask if they mind.
I'll do that huh?
In the meantime private PM me

Re: Nutrition & AD: the detrimental role of a high carb diet

Looks like a sound approach was used and it gives guidance as to what to avoid in the diet. The heliobacter pylori is tough and amoxicillan kills it, whereas other antibiotics do not, so taking the wrong antibiotic does nothing. Also, the rate of people infected with this as shown by 23andme is 40 ...
