reverse a trol

REVERSE A TROL

thats a misspelling i made up for the chemical
resveratrol
its a hope that i have and that researchers have
that reverse is what it can do

more in a minute

a correction to last fridays blog
i wrote the results of the ucla study was not anecdotal
the author when i went back to review it says clearly
these results are anecdotal
only
i guess when a more lengthy study involving more people
with a control group is done then this can be considered
not anecdotal

as i said last week
time is not on my side
i cant wait for that to happen

i got all my labs back
my crp was normal
8 years ago it was elevated
its a measure of inflammation
i still plan to continue the vit e omega fish oil curcumin and
good dental hygiene


patientadvocates.com

my homoscysteine level is elevated
8 years ago it was up and now its higher
this time its is 13.7 with the recommended level <7

it is an amino acid that has been shown if it is elevated
a person may have a doubled chance of getting alzheimers disease
the treatment which i will do is to take folic acid at 0.8 mg a day
the dose a pregnant lady takes in her prenatal vitamins
and will also take b12 and vit b6 also which may help decrease
the homocysteine level


my vit b12 level was slightly low at 162 with the normal level
being >192
for this result i was surprised
i dont eat a lot of  meat
i do eat an egg a day
i do eat cheese twice a day
i dont eat fortified cereals
i rarely ever eat seafood
or fish
i think my low level may be due to the chronic reflux i have
and the fact i take acid reducers every day
so
i will start taking a vit b12 supplement level every day to bring
the level back up to normal
i will take 1mgm or 1000mcg a day
remember
a low b12 level can be a cause of memory loss
although my level is probably not low enough to cause memory loss
but it could have eventually got there


my 25-oh vit d3 level was slightly low at 46
recomended levels are 50-100
this one i was surprised at since i get so much sunlight
i frequently use sunscreen but will leave it off some
so i can get sunlight directly on my skin
if you saw my farmers tan you would believe me
i dont ever drink milk but do eat cheese twice a day
so
i will add 25-oh vit d3 at a dose of 500-1000 units a day

my thyroid levels and testosterone levels are normal

i will repeat these levels on the above tests in 6 months to
ensure they are back to normal
and will probably have to stay on the supplements long term

now back to reverse a trol

resveratrol is a chemical that is found in grapes peanuts blueberries
and dark chocolate
it is thought to reverse the srti ratio in the brain which means it
increases the production of an anti aging enzyme

a 12 month study done at multiple sites in the us will be published
this year
patients were given high doses of reverse a trol (sic) and levels
of the bad stuff beta amyloid and tau protein were measured
as well as neuropych tests were done
anecdotally theres that word again some people reported an
improvement in their memory during the course of the study

for me this supplement may be important as people like
me who have the apoe4 gene have a reversal of the srti ratio
which means we dont make enough anti aging enzyme
so
by taking the reverse a trol (sic) the ratio will be increased
and the disease process may slow down

so
heres another supplement ill add to my regimen today

resversitol starting at 500 mg then ill probably max it out
at 2000 mg if i tolerate it ok
i will adjust the dose some when the study results are published

so now im all ready for my regimen of
16 supplements

godspeed

you may need a little sun

YOU MAY NEED A LITTLE SUN

you need to drink your milk
your mom was right it seems

you need to cover up with a floppy hat long sleeve shirts
long pants gloves and put on  tons of sun screen to protect
your skin
good advice for preventing skin cancers
may be not as good for preventing or slowing down dementia
it seems

a recent study on the news showed that folks who had
decreased vitamin d levels seemed to have an increased chance
of developing dementia
the lower the levels of vitamin d the higher the risk it seems

those who were moderately deficient in vitamin d had a
53% increase risk in developing dementia
while those who had a severe deficiency had a 125% increase
risk in developing dementia

those are significant numbers

then those who develop dementia tend to stay inside and become
less active and eat less which may make their vitamin d levels
go even lower
maybe speeding things up some

so what do you need to do
get sunlight

if you over sunscreen lighten up some on the spf
dont cover up so much especially early in the day
so your skin can get some direct sunlight to do that
conversion in the skin to make vitamin d that can be
used in the body

drink milk eat cheeses eat yogurt and yes ice cream is ok too
these tend to be fortified also with vitamin d
milk not processed ie not forified if the cows dont get much
sunlight may not have as much vitamin d  in their milk
a free range cow who gets good sun exposure is best

fish especially salmon mushrooms the legal kind fortified tofu eggs
cereals kale organges orange juice
there isnt a lot of vitamin d in other vegetables

dont just start taking vitamin d without discussing it with your doctor
since too much vitamin d is not good for you
consider having your level checked
for your bones sake and your brains sake

so here is what i do
i wear a floppy hat
use spf 20+
occasionally in the early morning i skip sunscreen
wear short sleeves some but usually wear long sleeve shirts
eat cheese twice a day
eat a free range egg including the yolk since thats where the
vitamin d is located
and
of course have been known to partake in a bowl of
blue bell vanilla ice cream

maybe thats why my neuropsych tests are stable right now
