…Or, perhaps more convenient, rinse with baking soda?

Dr Ellie didn’t like backing soda as I recall but she might have been referring to baking soda toothpaste that would be too gritty/abrasive? I don’t recall exactly.

Rinse with baking soda or xylitol, or mixture of both. I use it for my waterpick.

My father likes the Galantamine. It gives him vivid dreams and helps him sleep better.

I’ve been using Galantamine for a few weeks and it has the same effects for me except my dreams don’t seem to be much more vivid.

Overall I feel better when I wake up in the morning. More refreshed.

Probably so, dentists warn against the use of baking soda (Na-bicarbonate) as it can easily wear enamel. But this is true about the crystallized, undissolved compound.

So interesting!

Sorry for extra inquiry, but I am seriously considering trying it… esp curious as an adjunct for sleep for someone with ApoE4:

  • What is your nightly dosage?
  • Do you currently take breaks, or see a reason to do so?
  • Have you and your Dad noticed any side-effects?

Thnx inn advance:-)

Pleurotus eryngii - Wikipedia(also%20known%20as,in%20many%20parts%20of%20Asia.

Pleurotus eryngii (also known as king trumpet mushroom , French horn mushroom , eryngi , king oyster mushroom , king brown mushroom , boletus of the steppes

I bought dried pleurotus ostreatus from them. I just use a coffee grinder to turn the mushrooms to powder. Quality is good. Erg content of ostreatus is only one third of eryngii, But I am chasing the other benefits of ostreatus.

Seems like the benefits am chasing are also provided by eryngii, with the added bonus of higher ERG.

Our findings are in consistency with those of Choudhury et al. [46] who showed a reduction in TC and LDL-C levels of obese hypertensive non-diabetic males administered with 3 g of P. ostreatus powder in capsule form daily for 3 months. Similar results were also found in another study where lipid levels, including TC and LDL-C were significantly different after the consumption of Agaricus bisporus cooked with olive oil [47]. In contrast, other studies reported that LDL-C remains unchanged [48,49].

Will switch to eryngii once my supply runs out.

Actually, we both take 4 mg of Galantamine every night. My father has experienced better sleep (fewer waking up times) and more vivid dreams.

I haven’t noticed a big change in dreams but I feel my sleep has improved.

We are taking Galantamine for its brain and muscle benefits. Supposedly it will aid against Sarcopenia when taken with Metformin. So we both take Metformin. I take 500 mg daily and my dad takes 1 g daily. We are both pre-diabetic with an HBA1C between 5.8-5.9.

thnx for elaborating… my friend takes Memantine for neurodegenerative disease prevention and for its benefits of blocking Glutamate… I researched it yesterday - they have differing mechanisms of action, and benefits… Some ppl on prevention protocols take both Galantamine and Memantine together.
