Re: Data supports 'Robust' cognitive improvement for mild to moderate AD patients

According to Figure 1 of your paper, Chris, we should give up cashews (2,942) and almonds (1,995) in favor of Froot Loops (20) or even Pop Tarts (40.) Methinks we might want to take other variables into account… just saying ;). Excellent point and is great advice when discussing any specific path o...

Re: The Dynamic Brain Conference in LA this Summer

Sure, depends on when I can get my bags into my room and freshen up a bit. My plane is scheduled to arrive at 2 PM so if it's on time this is probably not an issue although I will check a bag. I would anticipate if all things are good I should be at the hotel room by 3:30-ish. We could say 4:00 in t...

Re: The Dynamic Brain Conference in LA this Summer

In case you're not signed up for the emails the Institute for Functional Medicine sent out an email announcement. Dr. Perlmutter is giving a pre-course webinar and it is available in the course materials. It looks like they added some perks such as that espresso cart and a kickoff reception etc. Loo...

Re: Brainstorming about our 2017 meet-up!

Dom D'agostino, definitely, if he is available and/or anyone discussing fasting, keto and brain health. I have almost no interest really in CIRS and am disappointed no one else attending is interested in Dr. Desikan but regardless we will have so much already with the conference itself it's of no ch...

Re: Polygenic info used to identify risk of AD

LG1, welcome back! I think we really need you to keep us on track. I have found all the SNPs and all I need to do is go in for the easy lay up, though I have been somewhat snoozing now that I am this close! Found an interesting trick with GenomeBrowse. If you drag and drop the chromsome imputation ...

Re: Brainstorming about our 2017 meet-up!

This is a tough one. I can't chime in on the CIRS (I will look into it this weekend for sure) but obvs if you smart folks want more info on that it is important.. looking forward to chiming in more once I read up on it so stay tuned. Yikes, I am a black sheep on the 'not sure I want to know anymore ...

Re: Polygenic info used to identify risk of AD

Yes, I guess I am also a junky for the next genetic tool sort of stuff! Thant you re steadily improving your health is really great but I get wanting to know 'why?'! I agree with your attitude.. even if I found every snap and allele corresponding to the PHS table for myself, I would take the results...

Re: Brainstorming about our 2017 meet-up!

Waves All! I'm beginning to work on putting together our ApoE4 specific speakers for our meet-up and I wondered if there was any interest in getting a CIRS expert to meet with us? Given Dr. Bredesen's recent work indicating that this is a much bigger AD contributor than previously thought, would it...

Re: Polygenic info used to identify risk of AD

Those following this thread, who may not be following the CIRS thread, might be interested in what Shoemaker's doing pushing CIRS analysis further by doing RNA sequencing . This approach shows what genes are actually activated for an individual (ie, epigenetics). I suspect that for a given conditio...

Re: Polygenic info used to identify risk of AD

I'm back! I had a few sick days and then life got in the way... and I needed to attend to several other big projects. IMO we could summarize by saying that it is currently too cost prohibitive (around $1,400) to sequence whole genome at this time... When researching companies I emailed quite a few a...
