Re: Soft Launch of Our Metabolomic Project

Dear All, 1. on the Prodome website it says: "If you do not have a blood draw provider, you must add on our home blood draw provider." Can one use a general lab, such as Quest or another in-network for the draw itself, or one needs to do it at home? 2. The list of ProdromeScan biomarkers ...

Re: New 4/4

Hello friends, I'm a 34 year old woman with two young children, and recently discovered my 4/4 status via 23andme. Neither of my parents have developed AD that I know of, but I do have an aunt who passed away with dementia. I initially spent some time crying and catastrophizing (e.g. that I may not...

Re: Excited this community exists, but slightly overwhelmed with 4/4 result.

I feel the same. I work in a molecular laboratory and we test out selves for controls and got my results today that told me I am one of the few 4/4s. I was adopted and know nothing about my biological family. I always said Alzheimer’s would be the worst way to go; and then I get this result. I have...

Re: WARNING re. Aricept (Donepezil)

Greetings everyone, my sister Sally was diagnosed with unspecified dementia. Almost certainly Alzheimer's as our mom had it. Sally is 72. Her memory is deteriorating pretty darn quick.

Re: Newcomer

Hi All, My 23andme results indicated that I have two copies APOE-4. Some background on me: I'm 63, and my doctors have wanted me on a statin since the 1990s when my total cholesterol was around 275, but I've refused. For the past 15 years, my total cholesterol has ranged between 300 and 400. My tri...
