Re: Is there research showing benefit of low fat diet for apoe4 phenotype?

Hello, Does anyone on this forum know of published research that suggests that a low fat diet (all fat, not just saturated) is helpful for mitigating cardio vascular disease for those with apoE4 phenotypes? Great question. A low fat diet was the original recommended diet for our phenotype when we b...

Re: "Their Alzheimer's Disease Didn't Worsen. Why?"

I doubt we all need to buy Peloton machines or become tennis pros. It seems to the level of sustained activity over a long period of time, not one specific activity, that MAY be important for people with MCI. Presumably diet, sleep, social supports, etc. also were in good shape for these men, but w...

Re: p tau217

Has anyone found a way to get a p-tau217 test? Dr. Bredesen is very excited about this one and is partnering with a company to release a fairly inexpensive version soon. The hype about the new/cheap test seems to be making the blood test the diagnostic gold standard. That seems to be the current co...

Re: Announcing a Personalized Precision Medicine Clinical Trial to Reverse Dementia

I finally found a doctor that would order my labs. Going today. Do you have a recommendation of a health coach that is not super expensive that can help me with the food to eat. Or a cook book the site you gave me from Apollo has a picture I need more than that. I know there is a list of doctors an...

Re: Panicking 41yr old grown up man

Instead my results were very favorable. I was recruited for a project to see if I had a genetic reason for how well I was doing and they would like to have blood tests and my brain when I die. Both are fine with me. They would like a spinal test and I said no to that. I have not been a devoted foll...

Re: Alzheimer's Disease Cured ! J11 Exclusive!

I can well understood how yelling "Cure" in a crowded theater is frowned upon, though considering the current evidence I feel that not yelling "Cure" given the millions of people at risk and unaware of their risk also has certain moral implications. I am very very uncomfortable ...

Re: Celebration Thread! Biogen is going to the FDA with Aducan.

I have wondered if the titration schedule is one reason why we haven't heard of very severe adverse events or deaths in AHEAD, in addition to starting at an earlier disease stage, with possibly less CAA.
Yes, I've wondered the same and sincerely hope this will pan out to protect more E4 carriers.

Re: Dha and lpc dha associated with worse AD progression??

There may be an interaction between omega3 fatty acids and homocysteine with regard to brain health. See for example https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9464144/ If one of the main effects of DHA on cognition is to make B-vitamins more effective in the brain they can only be protective if ...

Re: Celebration Thread! Biogen is going to the FDA with Aducan.

I learned of this at my most recent infusion; not every person in the trial has even been notified yet since it is a December revision in the IRB consent. Thanks for sharing these updates, NF52. I imagine that this will skew the numbers in the original dataset if enough people drop out of the contr...

Re: Announcing a Personalized Precision Medicine Clinical Trial to Reverse Dementia

I saw my mom’s doctor today, Dr, Marwan Sabbagh, he has been on this site as I saw his video on here. He has agreed to take me on as a patient due to my mom’s very early progression and incredibly quick progression. He mentioned umethod health they do all tests and then make recommendations on supp...
