Re: Melatonin supplementation benefits Alzheimer's disease patients

Thanks GenePoole0304! I haven't found the study to see if they mention apoe variants, but I think LifeExtension would have indicated it if they did? I found this 2006 abstract suggesting, as usual, earlier, pre-clinical, intervention may be better, and while we focus on canceling out evening blue li...

Re: From Dr. Rammohan "Ram" Rao

Silver I'm surprised you'd want to hang upside down with the CTD. My "instinct" is that it's too extreme for us , potentially over stretching some spinal and other ligaments? I personally would start at a slight incline and gradually increase while tuning in deeply?

MRI Contrast Agent Warning

Probably a good idea to make our doctors put a note in our file not to use the contrast agents with the metal in them that's discussed here.

Re: From Dr. Rammohan "Ram" Rao

I've incorporated into my morning meditation the pose I see Muslims take in their daily prayer practice. I need to adde it through the day, even if I'm not taking special time out for meditation.Due to weak connective tissue I can no longer do yoga inversions, and I can't sit back on my heels, but t...

Re: New Technology Toothpaste that Greatly Reduces Plaque

The fella from the company explained to me that the browning is just due to certain proteins that some people have more of in their mouth than others. He indicated it's not anything to worry about. I'll be asking my dentist about this to confirm. I know from past reading that it's only some ingredie...

Re: Exercise+Sleep Tracking Gadgets

Thanks Stavia, I'd never heard of Pebble. I mostly need it for heart rate monitoring and maybe steps taken with exercise. Knowing that some such devices track something or other with sleep I thought I'd ask about it. I definitely wouldn't think they're a replacement for an EEG, but that is probably ...

Exercise+Sleep Tracking Gadgets

Has anyone researched these lately (ie fairly current models)? Any conclusions? Selections! FitBit, Jawbone, Garmin ... I know there are a lot of variables so this is a wide open question. I guess priorities for me would be tracking heart rate, good and useful feedback on sleep quality, and overall ...

Re: The Importance of Meditation

What a cool app Kim! I'm hooked and haven't even registered! I use Pandora a lot and find the minimal cost of subscribing highly worthwhile. I have it on my iPhone home screen and have several different meditation stations set up. No commercials. I start my day with Tibetan singing bowls as I do my ...
