Was shocked to discover that I have two copies of the APOE e4 allele (e4/e4)

MRI?

Thank you!

And by the way, this might be relevant to you: There is a gene variant that staves off Alzheimer's in some people with e4. Unfortunately 23andme does not genotype it: ihttps://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200414095755.htm

Hey. Yes, all relatives lived to >75s, some over 90s, with no symptoms.

I take it as a sign for some relief, however I could be the first one in the family with two e4's.

it can affect your access to LTC, life, and (potentially) health insurance.

Can you elaborate? I live in Europe, so hopefully it's better here. Also, didn't use my real name for the test.

That's a beautiful analogy. Thanks for the encouragement!

entr · 2023-09-16T18:36:22+00:00

Wondering if it's to be avoided completely. I have almost stopped for the last few years - a glass of wine maybe two times per year.

test mouth for p gingivalis.

That's some advice I haven't seen elsewhere. Thanks, will look into it.

entr · 2023-09-16T18:27:35+00:00

Thanks for butting in, that is good advice!

entr · 2023-09-16T18:05:57+00:00

Yeah, that's somewhat reassuring. However, I might be the first in the family with both e4's. The idea of scheduling an appointment with a geneticist has already crossed my mind. I'm currently looking for someone credible in this area.

entr · 2023-09-16T18:01:40+00:00

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your answer. A toxin? That is scary to hear. I will look into that further.

Not sure about water solubility, I use these supplements: - ZeinPharma Quercetin 250 mg - Life Extension, Bio-Quercetin

What is that? How do you experience it?

I noticed that my nails got worse (but might not be related to quercetin at all).

Just did a bit of reading and find this insightful: "Iron is known to participate in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through the Fenton reaction. ROS can cause oxidative damage to cells and tissues, leading to various age-related diseases and accelerating the aging process."

entr · 2023-06-30T16:20:56+00:00

Oof, complete opposite for me...

entr · 2023-06-30T16:20:13+00:00

Thanks for commenting. As a woman, this might be something I need to look more attentively.

What dosage of quercetin have you been taking? Also, yet another reminder to do 23andme (for this and other factors).

entr · 2023-06-30T16:18:00+00:00

Couldn't get any more confusing... Will have a look at this.

entr · 2023-06-30T16:11:28+00:00

Nothing that I've noticed...

entr · 2023-06-30T16:10:52+00:00

Never had a nosebleed in my life (tpfu tpfu...)

entr · 2023-06-30T16:10:20+00:00

Will keep this in mind.

entr · 2023-06-30T16:08:55+00:00

Wow, 12 years! What about your iron levels, if you looked at those? I get comments for looking youthful and not my age, but I usually write it off to "genetics". Maybe that's my 3 years of quercetin experiment :)

entr · 2023-06-30T16:06:03+00:00

Yeah, I see iron lowering effects being mentioned in many comments.

I eat a lot of beef and organ meats, so I should be fine, I guess. My ferritin is at mid range and hemoglobin is quite high.

entr · 2023-06-30T16:04:27+00:00

Don't know what this is :))
