I also can't tolerate fish oil; it gives me an urticarial rash with lip and throat swelling about half an hour after ingestion. The reaction is sporadic, not to every pill, but out of dates pill seem more likely to trigger th...

Good point. In large enough studies this should be standard protocol (IMH, non-professional, opinion).

Remember, there is no perfect, "one size fits all" diet to avoid Alzheimer's. We're all different. Think of Gundry or Bredesen diets as guidelines that you need to individualize and make work for you. Your goal is to make your diet healthy AND sustainable for the long run. This is a nice ...

Here's an example, and I'm not trying to pick on Banyan Botanicals. I learn from their website and trust their product quality. I've been using their Everyday Massage Oil before a shower and find it really relaxing and mentally 'nourishing', so it seems to have subjective value for me. I'm also usin...

I wonder how the results compare with Aricept, which also temporarily slows cognitive decline. We have the new “q without a u” drug slowing decline compared with placebo but not with the currently approved Aricept, which does the same thing but I think (?) with lower risk. This may be covered somewh...
