Of course, I tend to see things thru this sleep apnea lens, but I am convinced that many of my dental problems resulted from sleep apnea. First, if you snore, your mouth is open, drying saliva which protects from caries. Secondly, the bruxism (grinding your teeth) occurs when your oxygen levels drop...

Cir, I feel for your dental dilemma, since I've been down that road too many times. Several friends suffered a perforation from an upper molar extraction, almost unavoidable given the proximity of the molar root to the sinus. One had plug inserted into the perforation and seem to experience more acu...

Susan, like Jan, I review your posts and Wiki repeatedly. Not only are you a wealth of knowledge, but so kind. You have shared so much over the years , thanks for offering to continue to post.

Sending positive thoughts during this difficult time.

LB, great to see your usual provocative posts! Don't you feel you can alter your genetic course, or at least delay the onset? Plus, as Searcher notes amyloid plaques doesn't completely clinically correlate. I'm intrigued by plasmalogens contribution towards AD protection.

Hi Lindy, I agree that your vitamin D could be higher. Are you supplementing vitaminD with K2? Do you have a APAP machine that you can immediately access your data? Waking up at night with your heart racing can be the adrenalin surge from hypoxia, so your data might reveal areas to tweak your machin...

This protective SNP was noted a few years ago so I emailed him last year as to any further updates, since I could not find more recent studies confirming this association. I might try again. Also, as an AA, I do seem to be statin resistant as to the cholesterol lowering. Orangeblossom, both my mom (...

Cir, PH= Public Health. I need to stop posting from my phone where I abbreviate too much.

My dentist states that I do not have mercury despite crowns, implants and composite fillings. He added that Scandinavia outlawed mercury amalgams years ago. Wouldn’t it be interesting if they could correlate this PH intervention with AD?

Cir, I have been using this product with less sensitivity and "amazing" (per my dental hygienist) stain removal. Since I stopped mouth wash and fluoride toothpaste (Thanks to Theresa), I think my normal mouth flora has returned. This product has charcoal which I would like to believe might...
