Re: Ready to Quit
Jan, A lot of good advise here, and as I have said before this is not a race. You need to be comfortable with your life, I myself do not follow the diet as strictly as I did initially, as I was losing too much weight. I've added in more resistance starches, I eat more proteins (fish, chicken, pork, ...

Re: A Clinical Trial of Transcranial Electromagnetic Treatment in Alzheimer’s Disease
I noticed none of the patients had APOE4, so this is a pretty narrow trial for us at least.DoubleBond wrote: Might this be a "silver bullet" for AD? Probably too early to tell. The trial involved only eight patients with mild-to-moderate AD; none of them had an APOE4-genotype.

Re: For Biome Lovers: The Earth Has a Gut Biome!
It certainly makes you think that there is life on other planets in or out of our galaxy, these creatures don't need oxygen, light, or what we would consider food to thrive and survive. While they may not be intelligent by our standards, they are still living beings.

Re: Two month N=1 experiment plus questions: 250 mg NMN + 50 mg pterostilbene

Re: Alzheimer's Disease Meta-Analysis Identifies Five New Risk Genes
I've got 4 of the protective SNP's (SORL1/CLU/PICALM/SPI1), and 5 of the bad ones Hi Ru442, How do you know whether the SNP needs to be TT or CC or TC in order to be good or bad?
