Re: Take a Deep Breath—It Just Might Lower Your Risk for Alzheimer’s

We have a wiki on the vagus nerve and it includes several ways to improve heart rate variability, breathing/yoga being one of them.

Thanks for posting as a reminder for us all to breathe!!!

Re: Celebration Thread TrueBinding Galectin-3

This is where GWAS would be of considerable benefit. All you would need to do is look at the genome and see what genetic variants protect or enhance AD risk. In the above table we see a number of SNPs in the gal-3 protein which is actually in the LGALS3 gene. So for instance rs4652 was found to enh...

Re: Coffee vs Tea and Homocysteine

Just really confused as to why it jumped up to 10s again with the supplements I take and just the addition of the tea. I eat sardines 3 x per week and I do eat meat some. Maybe cut down on meat consumption? Any thoughts? I haven't really looked at the issues with tea and homocysteine, so I did a li...

Re: Well isn’t this website just great…

a) not losing too much weight - presumably this will tail off a bit? Sustainable is definitely the key. I'd like to encourage you to keep a close watch on your weight. We're all unique in dietary needs to maintain weight. There are some of us here who dropped to really low weights on keto over long...

Re: Zero carb diet will help prevent Alzheimer’s

Wow, that's an incredibly well written and researched ultra deep dive into the topic, Susan. Kudos! Thanks, Marc. My research helped me figure out the wide range of problems I've had in the past, and the wiki was a good place to store all that info. Lowering oxalates has been the game changer for me.

Re: MTHFR & base pair basics

I had always thought base pairs had to be either G-C or A-T. From 23andme: Each chromosome consists of two strands of DNA that are complementary to each other. The DNA nucleotide base adenine (A) always pairs with thymine (T) and the base guanine (G) always pairs with cytosine (C) across these two ...

Re: Zero carb diet will help prevent Alzheimer’s

In only 2 months on the carnivore diet, those severe health problems from 5 years on the keto diet, are now just gone. Glad to hear that carnivore has helped your health problems, by reducing oxalate content. It is such a blessing when that happens, especially for those of us who have had health pr...

Re: Blue Zones, specifically Seventh Day Adventists

Does everyone here never let a forbidden grain, a piece of sourdough or whole wheat bread, a nightshade vegetable cross their lips???? From my impression, they don't and I guess I'm just baffled. Not sure where you got the idea that everyone on the site eats the Gundry or Bredesen strictly everyday...

Re: How to adjust keto diet to maximize APOE4 health?

With 150g of net carbs per day, do you easily produce ketones? I went back and looked at my last tracking in December. My daily carbs were kinda all over the place, but generally in mornings after a eating in the 50-100 grams range of carbs, my ketones would range over 1, and mornings after eating ...

Re: How to adjust keto diet to maximize APOE4 health?

Did you also make some changes to the keto diet? As per the other thread, I've been tinkering with my diet to add more carbs, heading towards somewhere around 150 grams net carbs per day. In addition to low numbers of certain microbiome strains (that are carb lovers), I also have trouble keeping on...
