Hello

I had my DNA testes at 23andme, then ran the results against the Promethease database.

The report shows a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease. I notice now (in my 40s) sometime names and information doesn't come to mind as quickly as it once did. And I think my mom is developing it.

Is anyone here testing any novel treatments for Alz? Is anyone taking any supplements that show promise? 

Thanks

This study is already two years old, and while it seems like some is good advice, these are healthy lifestyle choices all of us should be loosely following throughout life; but I doubt these choices do more than possibly delay progression of the disease:

"1) she eliminated all simple carbohydrates, leading to a weight loss of 20 pounds;
(2) she eliminated gluten and processed food from her diet, and increased vegetables, fruits, and non-farmed fish;
(3) in order to reduce stress, she began yoga, and ultimately became a yoga instructor;
(4) as a second measure to reduce the stress of her job, she began to meditate for 20 minutes twice per day;
(5) she took melatonin 0.5mg po qhs;
(6) she increased her sleep from 4-5 hours per night to 7-8 hours per night;
(7) she took methylcobalamin 1mg each day;
(8) she took vitamin D3 2000IU each day;
(9) she took fish oil 2000mg each day;
(10) she took CoQ10 200mg each day;
(11) she optimized her oral hygiene using an electric flosser and electric toothbrush;
(12) following discussion with her primary care provider, she reinstated HRT (hormone replacement therapy) that had been discontinued following the WHI report in 2002;
(13) she fasted for a minimum of 12 hours between dinner and breakfast, and for a minimum of three hours between dinner and bedtime;
(14) she exercised for a minimum of 30 minutes, 4-6 days per week...."

DNase1 still has the best promises.

intense aerobic exercise is the only natural way of rising DNase1 levels.

 

Also, I really believe in Fasting.

it promotes Neurogenesis, Neurotoxin removals, Immune Cell repairing, Telomer & Telomerase repairing and so much more!

the best way is how Muslims doing it:

Do not eat, drink and have sex from Dawn to Dusk.
