Re: BIN1 + APOE44 ?
I am always worrying about getting early-onset Alzheimers, thinking about how these genes may interact to cause beta-amyloid to accumulate much earlier. BIN1 has been shown to affect BACE1 trafficking and beta-amyloid production. Perhaps it is ridiculous to worry about BIN1 given its low odds ratio...

Re: Dr. Gundry Cardiovascular Lab Tests
My mom developed severe dementia in December 2019 and started the Bredesen protocol in February of 2020. I found Dr. Gundry and Bredesen on youtube in December 2019. I bought Dr. Gundry's Longevity Paradox book and changed my diet right away. I am a 41-year-old male and getting myself checked out w...

Re: Idea for Clinical Trial
Why not do a clinical trial for people with 1 or 2 APOE4 variants who are younger and asymptomatic (e.g. 20-50) and follow them and a group who did not receive gene therapy to see if replacing the variant(s) with APOE2 decreases the likelihood of developing Alzheimer's? The trial could answer the f...

Re: New member with some questions...
Thank you so much for responding! We do sound a lot alike. For me, I also make sure that I'm monitoring my vitamin levels (particularly B vitamins) and am taking methylated forms of the B vitamins in addition to monitoring my homocysteine levels. I also pay out of pocket for blood testing every yea...

Re: New member with some questions...
1. Am I overreacting? Should I be worried and immediately contact my Dr. based on this info or am I doing the right things currently and just need to relax? 2. How do you most effectively broach the subject with your Dr? (My health provider is notoriously stingy with testing). What tests should I a...

Re: Tudca / Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid

Re: new way to get sulfurophane
I was using Prostophane supplements, available via chilled transport in the EU. As far as I know, it's the only stabilised sulforaphane available world wide according to Dr Jed Fahey. Perhaps an email to Dr Rhonda Patrick or Dr Fahey would be helpful, if you were intent on taking this product. Here...

Re: What to use for Glutathione?
Hi all, Our doctor has prescribed Glutathione for my mom but there's so much out there I don't know what to get. I know we want liposomal, and reduced, but other than that I don't know what's best. I've subscribed to Consumerlabs.com but they don't seem to have anything on this particular type of s...

Re: Alzheimer's caregivers, guardians, and conservators
I am new to this site. I have a sister-in-law with the beginning symptoms of alzheimers, and since my husband and I are in our 70's, we naturally want to prevent any future occurrences, if possible. Question: This relative married a man who had Huntington's (a degenerative brain disorder), and unfo...
