Hard not to be suspicious these days.

Lucky for me, I can't eat much of any meat fat. Alpha-gal allergy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-gal_allergy

Alpha-gal allergy — or mammalian meat allergy (MMA)[1] — is a type of meat allergy characterized by a delayed onset of symptoms (3-8 hours) after ingesting mammalian meat and resulting from past exposure to tick bites. It was first reported in 2002. Symptoms of the allergy include rash, hives, nausea or vomiting, difficulty breathing, drop in blood pressure, dizziness or faintness and severe stomach pain.[2]

Got a bunch of tick bites while cleaning up the mo-in-law's property years ago. Took me a while to figure out why I was waking up at 2am with the hives. Finally associated it with ribeye night. The allergy subsides after a while but I live in the forest so another Lone Star tick bite and it comes back. Worst reaction I had was from a ham made from homegrown pig/hog. Basically anaphylactic shock. Dropped out of consciousness twice. Now if I eat beef or some cuts of pork, I take a Benadryl before bed. I also have an epipen. Never was real big on fat and have always trimmed it off but that marbling is fat too. We've got meat goats and will be taking any bucklings born from now on for the freezer. Very lean meat.

Well if you were going by what Freepers post, you wouldn’t have even needed to click on this thread as you would already know Vitamin D cures Alzheimer’s...

as well as everything else.

Vitamin D is all you need.


And the amount they advise people take is crazy.

People in cold countries for a long time advised to take 10 micrograms of vitamin d per day. If taking more was good, they would have noticed.

Norwegians are smart. The Danish are smart, too.

Many people here take in one month what they took in two years.

My favorite flavors in any sugar-laden confection. If that counts.

Another $39.95 bottle of something will be in the works...

Ya sure you got the decimal point in the right place there, Bigly?

What kinds of foods do these lipoproteins come from?

Any food that tastes good and is filling, of course!

Maybe add a lemon or orange occasionally.

Would substituting an occasional sherbet for the ice cream suffice?

K2 must be important if they named a mountain after it.

Not as important as the famous Mt. Everst climber that Hillary was named after.

The “toxic” protein in question, beta amyloid is normal to nerve cell growth and repair, in most people even into older age. And normally excesses of the protein are broken up and sent back as waste. The “leak” phenomena attributed to Alzheimers patients seems to be a situation where there is a breakdown in the normal dispensation of excess beta amyloid the brain is not in need of. Maybe further research needs to understand the why of that latter point.

Alzheimer’s is not the only form of dementia. I wonder if this will also be helpful with other forms of dementia.

Is this the 1500th or 1600th ground breaking study?

That’s been my diet for the last couple of years (except when I cook for the wife some nights), and I’ve gone from 250 to 225. Honest Injun.

This is a completely useless post. It doesn’t say what diet change is needed.

It no different than me saying “the answer for limitless free energy is already in everyone’s kitchen cabinets in a form that can be directly tapped, but follow on research will be needed.”
