Lost in the rabbit hole -- want a reality check.

I know I'm not the only one here who alternates between intense periods of reading/experimentation and other times when I just need to lighten my load a bit, and step away from tracking, supplements, and this weird inward focus. I'm in the intense phase at the moment. I have just recently noticed a ...

Re: Dr. Bredesen Food and the Brain online Summit 4/29/18

Question: Dr Bredesen just spoke about "APOE4 - or +", and that you should know which you are. What is he referring to? Just how many alleles you have? I believe he just means whether or not you have the genetic marker "apoe4" that puts you at a higher inherited risk for Alzheim...

This is from the journal Hypertension -- but I think some will be interested in it for its relationship to mitochondria.

Re: VENTING about ridiculous horrible stupid food environment!

Sara, what meal bars have you found that work for the Bredesen protocol? I would love to stock up on one that did! Same here! I saw a box of them yesterday that looked promising, but then saw that the first ingredient was dates, and was afraid it would be as sweet as all the others. I usually rely ...

Re: New study on anticholinergic drugs

I have wondered about the exact same thing in regard to my dad's experience. No way to know exactly what he did or didn't take because he was an MD and I'm positive he treated himself off the books. I am very careful about this stuff now and how to avoid all these, including the ones with only antic...

Re: High blood pressure/AD considerations

Following up again: I did try the diltiazem with the intention of staying on it a month, but SOMETHING was messing with my concentration and minute-to-minute memory. I couldn't hold a train of thought. Decided to blame it on the anticholinergic action in the DILT XR even though it is supposed to be ...

Re: Sleep!

One technique for improving sleep that I am having some success with -- "sleep consolidation". I hadn't heard about this before. I was told to count up the total hours of sleep I got the night before. Of course you usually have to guess a little if you're like me. But I came up with 5.5 ou...
