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?
I think social isolation is so key. I did not mean to act inappropriately on this amazing website. I just have known a lot of people who carry the gene and are living in misery because they feel like they have to eat and be perfect. It just makes me sad. Life is supposed to be beautiful. I’m not say...

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! I have spoken at LENGTH with AD researchers at UofM... it can be part of a healthy lifestyle. BETER to abstain but a few glas...
