Re: A few notes about our Apoe4 test results
After reading this article from Peter Attia ... http://eatingacademy.com/nutrition/the-straight-dope-on-cholesterol-part-vi ... I concluded that we should ignore LDL-C entirely. Because of inaccuracy and a lack of correlation with CVD risk, it's a complete bust as a biometric. The combination of LDL...

Re: NEW blood test to predict AD
This is a somewhat more technical and skeptical summary of the $32 paper that we're probably all unwilling to purchase:

Re: Coconut Oil ameliorates neurodegeneration
Anyone have any first- or second-hand experience with simple supplementation as discussed by Mary T. Newton, M.D. in her book, Alzheimer's Disease - What If There Was a Cure? Dr. Newton's husband experienced a rapid rollback in physical and cognitive symptoms and is more functional today than he was...

Re: Best type of exercise for ε4s
Great suggestion, SusanJ. She's pretty calm - Golden Retriever - and would enjoy a bike trailer ride. "Smell-o-Vision"!

Re: My version of a Ketogenic Diet
I am aware of two serum testers. Here's an evaluation: http://livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog/precision-xtra-vs-novamax-plus-ketone-meter-evaluation/15918. The strips are insanely expensive in the U.S. - $5 each - but they're only $2 from Canada: http://www.universaldrugstore.com/medications/Precision+X...

Re: Best type of exercise for ε4s
Thanks for the kind wishes, Juliegee. Our situation is made worse by our injured dog's pesky little brother. Very hard to take him out and leave her behind!

Re: My version of a Ketogenic Diet
Great post, Juliegee! Your diet looks much like mine. I eat lots of salads, cruciferous vegetables, asparagus, EVOO, coconut oil. I sometimes eat 85% chocolate too. :-) I limit my protein intake. (My target is 1 g per pound of lean body mass.) I fast for 16+ hours each day. Some differences: - I don...

Re: Resistant Starch
I added RS (Bob's Red Mill Unmodified Potato Starch) to my ketogenic diet for two weeks a couple of months ago. Thankfully, the resulting stinky gas and constipation went away as soon as I stopped.

Re: merouleau intro
I wasn't tracking what I ate at that time, so this is a guess based on what I learned later by tracking everything on MyFitnessPal: 25% carbohydrates, 25% protein, 50% fat. By the time of the test, I had already cleared the industrial seed oils and processed foods from my diet. I also had lost my re...

Re: Things Here That May Lower Our Amyloid Burden
These are all fascinating. Here are two more Acetyl-l-carnitine (ALCAR) studies of interest. Note that L-acetyl-carnitine (LAC) and acetylcarnitine (ALC) are identical to ALCAR. Also, don't confuse ALCAR/LAC/ALC with L-carnitine which is a different substance rather than another synonym. Confused ye...
