Re: Genetic counseling

Thank you all for your encouraging words. Should I be careful about who I share this information with? I remember reading that APOE4 carriers could experience discrimination. Hi Eniluap~ Some people advise not sharing this information with your doctor because you may not want it to become part of y...

Re: 21 Proven Ways to Increase Brain Blood Flow

I want a pretty brain :D so I'm going to try 120 mg of gingko (Pure Encapsulations) twice a day. I also learned that more than 100 mg of caffeine a day will restrict blood flow.

Re: Genetic counseling

Both of my grandmothers had dementia, although I don’t know which type either of them had. 23andMe told me that I should see a genetic counselor to help me better unde...

Re: Calcium Supplements

I’ve been taking Ca-AKG for several months. I’m amazed how much thicker my fingernails are. And my dentist tells me my teeth are “very strong”. I tried googling whether Ca-AKG causes plaque formation in one’s arteries and didn’t find anything negative in this regard. If anyone has any information a...

Re: Dr. Alan Green passing

Oh! That is sad news. He was a true pioneer and sounded like a wonderful person. Occasionally I looked at his website and I just was telling my husband about him today, when a story about Rapamycin showed up in the New York Times.

Hi Lizzie’s, well, that was quick! I ordered on Friday and both were available in liquid and gelcap. I just went to the website again. The ProdromeGlia gelcaps went to my cart when I tried to order them. (Limit 3/customer)
The ProdromeNeuro gelcaps page says it will be back in stock soon.

Re: Hormone Replacement Therapy E4 Women

A good time for me to weigh in here. I've been on HRT for about 18 years (.05 transdermal patch and 100 mg prometrium nightly). I do have dense breasts and just recently requested that I have an MRI instead of the usual mammography plus ultrasound protocol. The MRI identified an area of concern (wh...
