Re: Just accepted into an AD Study

Thanks, NF52. You're a champ. I've copied your response (most of it) into a text doc to share with him.

Meeting tomorrow about church AD Study Group

Not really sure what I'm going to say to the pastor so I guess I'll just listen to him at first. Then I'll take over. Just kidding. Our local Cleveland Clinic might be interested in helping us with handouts, maybe a speaker. However, I'd like for the interested participants to do study on their own,...

Re: Ketometer and strips

The breath thing is too expensive for me to justify.

Re: "Bulletproof" Coffee

BTW, if you don't do caffeine, try this: "Crio Brü is brewed drink made from 100% cacao beans (also known as cocoa beans), roasted to perfection. ... Crio Brü has practically no caffeine, but cocoa beans do naturally contain theobromine which is a non-addictive, gentle, long lasting stimulant.&...

Re: Just accepted into an AD Study

We seem back to square one as far a "what medical science knows" about AD. If only they could get their stories straight and stop scaring people with pseudo facts. Burns me. Seems we are far better off concentrating upon keeping our minds and bodies as healthy as we can and maintaining our...

Re: Need help with sugar addiction

I gave up sugar in 1972 with Dr. Atkins. Before you go all silly about that, realize there's no WAY I haven't eaten anything sweet since 1972. We're all only human. But there are great forums and supportive websites now to help us over the bad spots. dietdoctor.com has a free side as well as a subsc...

Re: Just accepted into an AD Study

Liko, I hope you're right. Pretending it "won't happen to me" is the way most people go through life. Not me. I've been to the top of the mountain, and the bottom. I'm not content to let life just happen. This is a cleaned up version of the way I live my life: “Life should not be a journey...

Re: Now I know--APOE status

Definitely positive to stick to this Board. My APOE status is the same as yours, but I'm even more motivated now to learn about AD and share what I've learned. Thinking of starting a church study group. Most people would rather pretend AD doesn't exist and/or that they will never get the diagnosis. ...

Re: Just accepted into an AD Study

Verax, thanks for the update on the Study. I'm learning more every day about AD, different clinical trials, symptoms. Everything. There's a lot more for me to learn, too. I've broached the subject with my local church of starting an AD Discussion Group. Will see how that turns out. Most people choos...
