Great info, thanks G and welcome back to the states Can we still ski in Colorado in March?

I appreciate your theories, Julie. What's the criteria for "low-risk"? Maybe this? Look on the left side under Appropriate Patient Selection; various risk factors are outlined http://www.liposcience.com/sites/default/files/content/downloads/Understanding_Direct_Report.pdf This is a handy ...

Hey Spunky, Yeah,James is amazing; he's a member here. Most of us are aware of his experiment and have been chatting about it. I just got to see some of your NMR results courtesy of Mark's chart on a different thread: https://forums.apoe4.info/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=159 I'm beyond impressed and wou...

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. Using that link as a guide, let me compare the NMR results of two 4/4s: one eating a high fat diet with animal products (65% fat, 20% protein, 15% carb) to another eating a low fat vegan diet (30% fat, 20% protein, 50% carbs.) I compared my numbers vs. ...

Found right below the red/green bars. This is data meant for physicians on interpreting results. Per the test maker, there are different goals for different risk categories.

Lilly, 4/4, may have also had an NMR or two. Hopefully she'll weigh in. And Krikor, 3/4, too. Waves at Michael! Mark, I hear you on the NMR. You suggest (most agree!) that it's the LDL-P that matters- no matter what the composition...just keep it below 1,000. From my limited observation, I'm noticin...

Nice work, Mark. Great minds think alike; :D I've been doing some serious comparison charting as well. I very much appreciate your compilation. FWIW, my LDL-C prior to my current diet was always in the low 80s...so it's certainly doable for us- as James and G have also proven. I'm far from certain t...

No, but that doesn't mean there isn't a link, Schnooks. Have you poked around in PubMed or Google Scholar? I had one episode as a child...but in retrospect I suspect it was simply a result of a lack of oxygen to the brain. I very occasionally faint as a result of orthostatic intolerance/connective t...

So true, seems like everything is equivocal for us BUT, in the case of metals and E4 specifically, there seems to be pretty good science there. Check out this previous thread.

Thank you so much for sharing, Starfish. I can imagine that summarizing a lifetime of eating isn't easy :roll: Kudos on the weight loss. I had a brief period (1-2 years) where I put on some extra weight as a result of medication I was taking. Losing it post-menopause was not easy. I have tremendous ...
