I am finally getting around to posting a summary of the "HRT Controversies" talk given by Dr Ann Hathaway at Dr Bredesen's training for providers on the Bredesen 3.0 protocol in July 2016. Links to references are my best guess from her Townsend Letter (link below). Since this post is not s...

Hey Bulldog; I agree with Stavia that if IR is concern, the HgbA1C and fasting insulin are helpful. Trigs are one marker for IR, but not the whole story. The other tests will add to the big picture. My brother with AD has a A1C around 5.3%, but trigs over 250. His insulin has not been checked. Anoth...

Alysson, I don't think the diagnosis that Julie's doctor is using ("mild cognitive impairment, so stated") is going to be any improvement to the one your doctor used as far as long term care coverage is concerned. I specifically asked my new doctor not to document my ApoE4 status (she was ...

Hey RU - Thanks for the vote of confidence! Your results have been amazing - huge high 5 for you! Bravo!

It also ...

Nancy - great info on CD57 and ILADS organization! Lyme detection and treatment can be very controversial...

I've requested a full article from one of the authors of this trig/amyloid study to see what other lipid markers were evaluated (LDL-P?). I'll post if I get anything back

Given that Stavia is not experienced with Lyme diagnosis, I'm coming off the bench to try to answer the question. Disclaimer: I am not a Lyme expert but do have some experience with the very confusing and complicated testing algorithm done in the US (CDC Center for Disease Control recommendations). ...

Not taking anything away from his work, commitment to help, or questioning his motives; but it is not shocking that he is another doc or researcher that cherry picks data. Unfortunately, this is common practice with researchers, conventional doctors, and functional medicine doctors. And think of al...

As I'm going through the process myself, I'm also keeping in mind my hope of bringing this information to others in my community as a medical provider in the future. So trying to understand the literature as it exists right now as I run into questions and concerns of my own. Of course most of it is ...
