Re: Dutch Woman With Dementia Euthanized Against Her Will. The Doctor Was Just Cleared Of Wrongdoing.
I am a bit unsure about what you are getting at in your first question. In an advance directive you are deciding on your preferences, your line in the sand for when or what kind of medical care and treatment you want or do not want in the future. So, for example, you think ahead to what might happen...

Re: Dutch Woman With Dementia Euthanized Against Her Will. The Doctor Was Just Cleared Of Wrongdoing.
I didn’t know where to post this story on the forum. Is euthanasia a treatment? I’m horrified by this story.

Re: CAD106 and CNP520
Verax said: Even so, the Generation Program did do the right thing in finding those at higher risk because of Apoe status and aiming clinical trials at us. I am sure the CNP520 program end does not mean that we should be distressed. Our response has been overwhelming, to meet new friends like us, w...

Re: CAD106 and CNP520
I just saw these posts from yesterday, and burst into tears. Those tears are ones of sadness for all the wonderful people like blp and NF52, who have so bravely forged ahead, taking endless tests, traveling long distances, and getting spouses on board. The time and testing is tremendous and matters ...

Re: Pfizer buried promising lead on its anti-inflammatory drug
I subscribe to Peter Attia's podcasts and emails. Today's email is germane to this discussion, but for some reason I cannot find this posted on the internet, so am sending the contents of the email below. He takes apart the statistics, absolute and relative risk, the press, etc. My inbox was stuffed...

Re: Pregnenolone
I take 50mg of pregnenolone in the morning in the form of a compounded mix that also includes 10 mg. of DHEA. This cream is made by Central Drugs Compounding Pharmacy in La Habra, CA. and ordered by my practitioner. Before this dose, my pregnenolone level was at 14 when first tested (I am almost 65)...

Re: cognitive disconnect - do you "feel" you are reducing risk?
This is an interesting question, and I probably have a rather unusual answer. When I found out my 4/4 status, I retired a year early from a stressful job, and I changed as many factors as I could with the absolutely invaluable help from this site and all the wonderful members who added insight, info...

Re: Indianapolis area meetup
I'll second what everyone said. We had engaged, curious people who are in different stages of learning about what can be done to mitigate risk, and eager to learn from others- some with one ApoE4 allele, others with two. We chatted about advice from different experts, types of fasting, specific SNPS...

Re: Indianapolis area meetup
Hi Tinamalone, We would absolutely love to have you join us for our first meetup. I would be remiss if I didn't give a BIG shout out to NF52 for catching your post as we have been communicating through a GoogleDoc and privately at this site as well. Thank you! Tina, we will be meeting Tuesday, March...
