Re: Statins and Dementia studies

A couple of monthes ago I tested it again and LDL was 100. I think it's because I started cooking with saturated fat (ghee). In the past I used olive oil, but I hear more and more doctors (like dr Paul Mason) saying we shouldn't use olive oil to cook because it oxidises easily. Opinions vary re. us...

Re: Lab results. Too good to be true?

I was also thinking about the following. How the hell my Hb1Ac level can be that bad if my fasting glucose is 4.4 in the morning, and I'm fasting all day long. So my 4.4 shouldn't "go" anywhere during the day :D Thanks for this level of detail. I greatly appreciate your thoughtfulness. It...

Re: Lab results. Too good to be true?

HbA1C % = 5.62 (ref: 4 - 6) Overall, great results! However, HbA1c may be one to explore more in depth. Dr. Bredesen considers an HbA1c of 5.7 to be pre-diabetic and encourages maintenance of < 5.3 to avoid glycotoxicity. If you're supplementing with vitamin D, you may want to reduce your level a b...

Re: ACE trial: Arterial Stiffness, Cognition and Equol

Curious, I recall a mention that Dr. Bredesen was not a fan of the Adaptive Contrast system, which has both mild hypoxia (about the same as a pressurized airliner - 8,000') and hyperoxia. I understand this protocol is to begin exercising in hypoxia and then switch to hyperoxia. True. He is not a fa...

Re: Paper: Translational approaches to understanding resilience to Alzheimer’s disease

From the paper, there are four brain characteristics associated with resilience despite AD pathology. I list them below along with strategies to achieve each. Please add on! Cortical thickness: Aerobic exercise, maintain a healthy homocysteine 5-8 mcmol/L Spine density : Avoid osteoporosis with weig...

Re: The Bredesen Protocol in South Africa

Two pm on out box how to send them to julie Yes, received, my friend. I'm having a bit of a hard time reaching Dr. Mostert. I'm going to keep trying. If I'm not successful, I'll find others who are offering the protocol in South Africa. Out of curiosity, where do you live? I'd love too find someone...

Re: ACE trial: Arterial Stiffness, Cognition and Equol

Very interesting! Do you have a personal EWOT setup now? Yes, we recently splurged and we're both enjoying it. One of the biggest benefits is being able to get a pretty intense exercise session in 20 mins. Ok, it's almost two hours later and my bio age is now 21 years younger! :shock: I've been sub...

Re: ACE trial: Arterial Stiffness, Cognition and Equol

Thanks for announcing, Nancy. Just as an aside for those interested in arterial stiffness. I just did a pre and post 20-minute HIIT session using Exercise With Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) and dramatically reduced my arterial stiffness. I have the original iHeart gadget that tests pulse wave velocity and I...

Just to clarify, Dr. Bredesen is moving away from this recommendation in lieu of the p-tau-217 test.

Re: Labcorp's p-tau 181 pricing

Thanks for the info on p-tau 181. Where can my doctor order p-tau 217? Do you have a link? Someone else may have better information, but from what I understand, the PrecivityAD2 test test is currently available now. You can learn more here. The downside is that p-tau 217 is not reported as a single...
