Since the 1990s, scientists have known about the Apo E gene and the role it plays in Alzheimer’s disease. But not much has been discovered on how to reduce the prevent or reduce the gene’s effects on not only Alzheimer’s Disease but also heart disease.
Pamela McDonald, a leading integrative medicine nurse practitioner, has spent a number of years focusing on the Apo E gene in her practice and feels she has come up with specific nutritional plans, lifestyle changes, and environmental considerations that have the possibilty to reduce (and maybe even eliminate) the chronic symptoms relating to Alzheimer’s and heart disease.
Her book, The ApoE Gene Diet: A Breakthrough in Changing, Cholesterol, Weight, Heart and Alzheimer’s Using the Body’s Own Gene , based on scientific research and colaborated by leading researchers, offers an individualized, personalized approach that takes into account each person’s genetic uniqueness.
