MarcR and Stavia, I am on zinc picolinate, not wedded to any form, so watched the Chris Masterjohn video links which I appreciated. However, I have reservations since his two references in the video for why zinc picolinate was not that good in absorption were two studies, one done in 1985, the other...

Kristinmarie, I hope you can feel the many hands and hearts reaching out to you, including mine. This community of curious, worried, hopeful, and generous souls saved me in the first four months after I found out my 4/4 status ten months ago in late January. So many people here offer emotional suppo...

Perhaps the difference in the disclaimer following Lugavere's talk and the absence of one in the talk by Dr. Barnard is one of time. Dr. Barnard's talk was given in 2016, and Lugavere's recently given in 2018. Increasingly in the past two years, there is a tightening up on fact checking...which is m...

Julie, the Tedx guidelines are given at: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdf I do not have time again to go through the entire 19 minute Tedx Talk by Lugavere , but I quickly watched just the first six minutes once more and here are problematic, scientifically unsubstanti...

PBW, I appreciate the fact that a millennial is stepping up as well, and my heart goes out to Lugavere with his mother's early dementia. I have been there, and know that gut wrenching pain, as well as the gnawing fear for oneself. But respectfully, I disagree, when you say "Even if it is not sc...

I'm not quite sure how to begin this, except to say that I found this Ted Talk riddled with problems, starting with Lugavere's title which is " Dementia is Preventable Through Lifestyle. Start Now. " Even the Ted folks have a caveat for his talk: "NOTE FROM TED: Please do not look to ...

I posted this before, but it got lost when the server crashed. This is a pretty technical article, but seems to show evidence for a feedback loop that A-beta stimulates (thereby perpetuating its own production) and a potential inhibitor--- at least in mouse models that blocks DKK-1, reducing the for...

Hi Lulitamae! Wasn't sure if by "Wondering how many of us, blessed with the 4/4, are out there", you meant on the planet or on this site. Folks have given you the more planetary view, and I don't think there has been a survey on this site of those who are homozygous, carry just one allele,...

Jeannie wrote: Can anyone refer me to any research publication that dealt with the prevalence of unusually strange dreams in early Alzheimer's? Jeannie, you might want to follow Wendy Mitchell's blog, and even read her book, Somebody I Used To Know . She was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's a...

I am on the ReCode Protocol, and have the same frustrations as have been mentioned since the July post. I mostly have toxicity issues and hormonal issues, getting results back two months ago and retesting in four months. Right now I am trying to figure out how much to spend addressing these two spec...
