Patrick and Atom have recently been discussing Dr. Emanuel Revici and his use of the Periodic Table of Elements to correct Catabolic and Anabolic imbalances within the body.

PLEASE speak a few words on "pleomorphism," that I have NEVER seen adressed by you (Ray).

Question is I have swollen wrists and knees and crooked,bumpy and rheumatoid arthritis looking. Both knees have knobs sticking out so very bizarre to me. I also have a pregnant looking belly fyi and not pregnant! The wrists and knees are about 2 yrs old now and may be from bicycle fall from grace. The belly has been about 10 yrs after I stopped an eating disorder! Go figure!

Here is what I am so confused about: many practitioners who support Dr. Peat’s idea of reducing PUFAs in favor of saturated oils, always make an amendment for people that carry APOE4 gene (like myself)... for this population, the advice is to lower the amount of saturated fats (and use more mimosa-and poly) ... bcs they can't utilize these fats properly, they become plaque in the arteries and brain (leading to Alzheimer's or atherosclerosis).

I think simply ignoring this population while giving recommendations may be dangerous... Curious if you looked into it and what are you oughts?
