I should also note that I am apoe3/4... my mother's family all have high cholesterol, several of her relatives are on statins. My mother refused statins and is the one who got alzheimers. Yet she's also the one who got lupus, and I tend to think there may be some association with that. As for me, m...

This may be a stupid question but why would I want to have this test. I’m a 4/4 so I would think most likely not have good results. When I found out I was a 4/4 I was very stressed for a while but then came to terms with it and realized it was good to know so I could do the right things using a lot...

Hi, I am an E4 who is looking for a set of doctors that understand the special needs of E4/E4 carriers. I have tried looking for them in Sutter Health system but they seem to be few and far between. Any at Stanford, UCSF etc? Looking for a GP, Cardiologist, or nutritionist. Thank you!!! We have mem...

Thank you for the information but these post are a bit overwhelming and confusing. Could you please share the brand of omega three recommended and the amount I should be taking and phospholipid DHA w Tryglycerides. There are so many supplements that are not very good and honestly with 4 kids workin...

Hello, I know this is a rapa discussion but noticed you said you took simvastatin. I am curious about statins because it seems that most "experts" I've listened to say that APOE4's are different from others and should stay away from statins because we already are at risk of brain shrinkag...

Hi all. Been reading through the forum and thought I would chime in with my personal experience… Shied away from the dentist for just over twenty years but reluctantly set up an appointment after my wife mentioned I had halitosis. I also had high sensitivity to hot and cold liquids. Because I hated...

On Thursday, April 25 at 6:00 PM Eastern time, Mass General and the Massachusetts Alzheimer's Disease Research Center will have a short film that might be worth watching: Pedacito de Carne follows a young millennial Hispanic woman caring for her mother living with young-onset dementia, as both wome...

Therapies in the pipeline. There are so many but few specifically targeted at apoe4/4 Short take: BCG, pertussis vaccines look interesting, valacyclovir. Can be done with no concerns about side effects. Also LX1001 apoe2 gene therapy and Trappsol Cyclo (Cyclodextrin) are of interest to me. Thanks f...

Hi all, I’m really really sad to be joining this forum. I found out today that I’m 4/4 for APOE4 and have no idea where to start. I’m 24, just graduated college, I have no family history of dementia or AZ (I did lose my grandfather in his late 60s to a heart attack though, so there’s some cardiac b...

Hi Nancy! I am following your advice and looking at joining the website. I know I am going to sound out of bounds, but the $75 monthly costs to locate the trained person in my area might be tough. I get that this is life or death. That is what also makes it somewhat astonishing that there is a fee ...
