Hi all. Been reading through the forum and thought I would chime in with my personal experience… Shied away from the dentist for just over twenty years but reluctantly set up an appointment after my wife mentioned I had halitosis. I also had high sensitivity to hot and cold liquids. Because I hated...

Hi again, If you want to consider someone trained in the Bredesen protocol in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, you have a few options. You can use the search...

My wife was recently diagnosed with EOAL. Age 54, and height/weight lean and for the most part healthful. We were doing basic testing with a Neurologist over a few years and he leaned towards depression. Now at UTSW in which test results have confirmed. The lumbar tests resulted in high PTAU and a ...

Bruxism is characteristic of very late stage ALZ which is consistent with her being on Aricept for about 8 years now. She was deemed "un-testable" for cognitive testing when we brought her in a few years ago. I'm curious if she's had a recent MRI of her brain...Given that your mom is a 4/...
