I'm in a similar boat, Mother, Mother-In-Law, and previously grandparents on both sides suffered from Alzheimer's. Best lead I've come up with is that somehow increasing influx of CSF has a lot of potential. The APOE4 or whatever gene impeded CSF influx, leads to the plaque build up.

I've also seen inulin, and glutathione quite a bit. I had read some about nicotine before as well, but I don't remember reelin specifically.

Cerebrolysin has potential.

But I keep getting back to the CSF influx, and potentially one easy thing that increases CSF influx is sleeping on your side.

Hydration may also be very important. And stay far away from Anticholinergic drugs like diphenhydramine.

HBOT seems like it could also potentially increase CSF influx.




As a hayfever suffer I have often been offered anti-histamines, but have shied away from using them for fear of the long term detrimental effects.


Can you provide any links on the relationship between anti allergy drugs and alzheimer ?


Diphenhydramine is pretty strongly affiliated with cognitive risks (acetaminophen too).

When I must take an antihistamine, I go with loratadine (and quercetin if I have it)


I noticed my hayfever completely went away when I started TRT
