BUT, it appears that gadolinium is ONLY used in IVs for certain MRI procedures. I have never had an IV for my brain MRIs, so have not been exposed to it. I believe the MRIs for this study would be equivalent to the ones I receive. If they aren't using gadolinium, that would be wonderful! I have a f...

Thanks for announcing, Nancy. Just as an aside for those interested in arterial stiffness. I just did a pre and post 20-minute HIIT session using Exercise With Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) and dramatically reduced my arterial stiffness. I have the original iHeart gadget that tests pulse wave velocity and ...

Those who want to enroll may want to ask if the MRI uses a gadolinium contrast agent. Here is an FDA FDA Drug Safety Communication on these agents. Also one from a researcher at the University of New Mexico. I happen to be in a couple of groups where some group members are doing multiple repeat 30 d...

For some reason the Facebook you have provided is not working, it’s stating that it is by invitation. How could I join that page? Also, what size of Fiji water bottle did she drink per day? Was it the 1 Liter or 16 oz? Hopefully Laurie will respond, but I've used her husband's (Dennis N Crouse PhD)...

What scares me is the low insulin level. It says my level is below 1.6 but should be above 2.6 at least. Like I said my diet is very special. I'm fasting 22 hrs and eat a big meal in the evening. Actually the night before the blood test I had a dinner at my grandma and I ate roughly 4-500 gramms of...

Personally, I skip right over anything labeled "celebration thread". Wild claims of a "cure" (or multiple "cures") aren't helping anxious E4s who come here for information and support. And it's going to wear out the moderators, who have to keep replying to fact-check a...

The Bredesen coaches are so expensive any additional support help would be greatly appreciated. I have no formal medical training or as a health coach, but here are a few thoughts. Do you happen to consume vitamin C relatively close in time and before you check your blood sugar? I ask as glucose mo...

I was just looking at the Apoe4 site to see how many of the people who were active when I joined and it looks to me as if many of them are still active. Hello to any of you who are members from the early days. Starfish77 Hi Starfish, wonderful to see you posting and knowing that you are doing very ...

I concur 100% with TheresaB's comments!!!!!

I talked to a neurologist and he said I'm only the second person he's met since he got his residency that has had a negative reaction to the iodine contrast. So.. yea I have to say I definitely believe the study when it says that it increases your risk of dementia. Unless I miraculously get better ...
