Re: Flu vaccines dangerous?
I am new to the site and still finding my way but my oncologists at DanaFarber and I have wrestled with the CLL bear for over 25 years. Welcome OldMainer! You've already received some great advice/information from others this morning about flu vaccines. As has already been stated the flu vaccine is...

Re: High FIBER reduces brain inflammation via several different mechanisms
Thank you for this information! I am new to the board. I am 32 and have struggled with high cholesterol since my 20s even when I was a normal weight and jogging 5 miles a day. I had one Apoe4 gene on 23 and me and a grandmother with Alzheimer’s. Dad died of massive MI and mom has high cholesterol a...

Re: I’m confused about 4/4s and how much saturated fat is ok
My dad will only follow what his mainstream allopathic doctor tells him. He also has asthma, high BP and T2D. He had cleaned up his diet pretty well but has been eating a lot of cereal recently in the middle of the night when he can't sleep - so now there's no break in insulin production and he's g...

Re: I’m confused about 4/4s and how much saturated fat is ok
I'm not risking the possibility that SFA hastens development of AD - especially given that it develops over a long period of time without overt symptoms for many years. By the time the science settles and we get long-term results of our n=1, it could be too late. I have a front row seat watching wh...

Re: Diet confusion
Talk about confused! I recognize there are many opinions out there, but, honestly, how is one to know which is the right one? I've been keto for 16 months, but, cholesterol is much higher. Ran across this site today where it prescribes low fat, high carb for APOE4s. https://www.gbhealthwatch.com/GN...

Re: Doctors Disagree About Mold Issue
Welcome Issie! Thank you for your information about mold and the VCS.com test, I have heard of it but have not checked it out personally yet. I'm glad you are beating the mold and Lymes with your Shoemaker trained doctor! MARCONS is a tough one due to the biofilm it produces this biofilm not only ma...

Re: Possible drug to use before symptoms to possibly push off disease
Welcome Newtothis3/4! Thank you for sharing this link about early use of memantine to possibly delay or stop altogether the onset of AD. I had not heard of this study. Due to the complexity of AD I would advise caution when discussing any monotherapy, as Dr. Bredesen discusses in detail in his book ...

Re: Statin Use
Welcome staillie! Great to have you join us here at APoE4.info! Thank you for your interest in the effects of statins on those who carry the E4 gene. Unfortunately most of the research lumps everyone together regardless of E4 status. I hope you will find some answers here as there has been a lot of ...

Re: Newbie here - SAH survivor and fascinated
Good morning Kimberlie, One of our support team members shared with me another resource you may be interested in checking out if you want more information on lipids: "One good source of external information is Dr Peter Attia, a "longevity" expert. He has a series of blogs on lipids, a...
