Re: Full Keto diet or not?

A year later I discovered the Perfect Health Diet and have been 70-90% compliant since, more compliant since I learned I am APOE 4/4. Lowish carbs (non-white-potato tubers and almost no grain), moderate protein (frequent SMASH fish), lots of EVOO, avocado, non-sugary vegetables. Two years ago start...

Re: Theri Raby, MD / Chicago, IL

I was just about to write that Dr. Raby no longer takes patients, and I see you beat me to it! :D Dr. Buchanen is my current doctor and she knows about Dr. Bredesen's book.

Re: How many of us have Frank's Sign?

I've heard of this relationship since I was a kid as I remember my dad and grandmother discussing it. They both had creases in their earlobes. My grandmother died of heart disease at 73 and my dad from AD at 83. I don't have a crease though, thankfully I guess.

Re: Replacement for Butter for Dipping Crab

Re: Anyone interested in a Qigong Meet-Up?

I would definitely be interested but kids are coming into town this weekend so the timing doesn't work for me either. Next time!
