Re: LDN

To be honest, the experiences with LDN are very dated and not many people have been speaking about it lately. I don’t see where I can add new topic anywhere else but announcements. Can you please tell me how to do this? I would like more experiences and thoughts with LDN then I can see in the search...

Re: Alcohol use for APOE3/4?

OK, more deep thoughts on this topic. If the apoe4 gene is a cholesterol metabolism issue, why would small amounts of alcohol be an issue for carriers versus non-carriers. I did go to med school for a year, but unfortunately, I’m only a nurse practitioner. I don’t remember enough of the science to b...

Re: Alcohol use for APOE3/4?

This all seems very extreme. I think if you enjoy an occasional glass of wine to be social and to relax - (3-4 max a week women and 5-6 men) this is NOT going to give you AD!
