Re: Heavy Metals testing and MRI
Hello Everyone, I am trying not to duplicate everyone's questions on this forum, but sometimes sifting and sorting is so time consuming that I end up unable to keep searching. Still working full time as a teacher so reading all this can be a second job! All too long to say, please forgive for the qu...

Re: 2018 Meet-up - Input Needed!
Okay, so I would really like to come to a Midwest meetup. On my end, I am most interested in dietary ideas, suggestions, and the role of foods in inflammation, glucose levels, etc. Anything that helps me learn more about what I can do, when I can do it, and how I can sustain this diet in the face of...

Re: APOE4 Protein Sources
Oh the wonder of this site. I would love to have the time to make my own nut cheeses, but working full time as a teacher and taking care of my 94 year old mother in law leaves me tired. BUT, because of these books, you suggested and ideas, I actually found Miyoko's nondairy cheeses at my nearby Whol...

Re: APOE4 Protein Sources
Thank you so much for the support! You are the greatest. I feel like I am drinking from a fire hose in these first months, but I know as I read more, follow this site, and learn from your thoughtful replies, it will get better. I think reading your posts, I will try to isolate variables as most of y...

Re: APOE4 Protein Sources
I'm trying to be in that relaxed zone that Stavia and many of you are, while recognizing that all this is new to me and I need help like Andru, though older at 64. As a vegan (I do eat "certified humane" eggs) for 10 years, and 10 before that of vegetarianism, I have counted on many bean s...

Re: Just accepted into an AD Study
Hi reluctantexan. Keep us posted about the EARLY study! I went through two screenings for another trial a month ago, i.e. the Generations study which NF52 and a few others on this site are in. I had some issues with immunotherapy years ago with a clinical trial for miscarriages, (I ended up with a h...

Re: "Alcohol is biggest lifestyle risk"
Thank you so much for all your replies, Kenny, Slacker, OrangeBlossom, and Stavia. I think we all are trying as hard as we can, and bless us mightily for coping with news that at least on my end was frightening, as well as deeply saddening for the first six weeks, and episodically still wrestles me ...

Re: "Alcohol is biggest lifestyle risk"
I'm new here, so have a tentative response. I'm not a big drinker, having ONE 7-8 oz. serving of wine a week, both before and after finding out my homozygous APOE 4 status two months ago. It is my Friday or Saturday night treat. Checking on the study in the Lancet that Orange Blossom posted it seems...

Dietary Supplement Mimics Caloric Restriction
Interesting study published yesterday from the University of Colorado at Boulder. It shows research on caloric restriction and reversing cardiovascular aging. The study is a pilot study and small, but worth following up as it evolves. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/03/180329083313.htm Th...

Re: My Intro ~ e4/e4; feeling overwhelmed
Welcome Boireann! I joined this site about a month ago and have traveled at warp speed ever since. I am a bit older than you at 63, almost 64, and with 25% Irish ancestry, as well as homozygous APOE4. I felt so sick and disheartened when I learned my status in February, as my dad had a heart attack ...
