A man lost his car key in his backyard one night and solicited help from his neighbors to help him find them. A short time later, he saw that all his neighbors where gathered out in the front yard searching under the street light. The man called out to asked them why were they out front (when the key was lost in the backyard)? They said the light was better out front. That's the story of statins.

I see my cardiologist next week and am prepared to point out that I have 5 years empirical experience that eating Keto/Carnivore has radically reduced my inflammation and that putting carbs back for 3 months caused the re-occurrence of significant inflammation. He first prescribed a statin a year ago which I declined to take. Then he prescribed a drug that is not a statin but supposedly does the same thing. (I forget the name) Anyhow I took one tablet and got bad muscle aches for two days.I looked it up and that is a common side effect - so stopped it. I cannot do the work I need to do at the end of my life if I am made sick by a drug. It is irrelevant to me if not taking statins shortens my life. I am guided by the principle from one of the wisdom sayings from the Jewish Mishnah - You don't have to finish, but you are not allowed to stop. I am not going to stop or let anything unnecessary get in my way - period. If he is willing to work with me then perhaps he can help, but if it is just more protocol driven medicine then I am on my own. Nothing wrong with that - we have been for millions of years.

@MK-sc8md Месяц назад

😍 "You don't have to finish, but you are not allowed to stop". Same experience w/ PCP insisting on Statin and even lowering parameters b/c CAC 131 & plaque. Sent her FDA side effects via patient portal, thus protecting her from protocol-driven obligation. Seemed to stop her from pressuring me (and spouse) and enable her to remain a collaborative advocate on other issues. Likewise, an oncology consultant was obligated to mention all chemo options but able to point to research that found no efficacy for my "stage". Appreciated her saying that some patients want to take and do everything available, so she has to include it in options. I know one such patient who opted for an extra round and now lives with excruciation side effect of neuropathic pain. SMDH

5 years ago I was about to leave my Doctor's surgery, I was using a walking stick and was in pain, my back knees, and hips, "Would you like some pain killers" the doctor asked, I said No I am first going to find out the course of the pain that would make more sense. I think he was a little upset. I went to the internet (a dangerous place for advice) and Checked out some of the so-called doctor's qualifications, a lot were not even doctors. I got it down to 5 trusted sites, I am now on an almost zero carbohydrate/Carnivore/Keto Diet. For three years I have been in a state of ketosis, I have NO joint pain and feel healthier than I have done for years, This is thanks to you and a lot of other doctors who talk real sense. I am 82 years old and walk my dog a couple of hours a day and I can enjoy what folk call my golden years because of you and like-minded doctors.

My MD, in spite of successfully dropping 80# in 5 months, increasing lean muscle mass AND doing so without stretch marks all by treating my carb addiction as the addiction it truly is ... she was very concerned about my increased LDL and ApoB. I pointed out that at my heaviest that my Triglicerides were 133 and HDL was only 33, and those numbers moved to 90 triglyceride and 60 HDL and the gastroenterologist indicated that the fibro-scan showed a full resolution of the hepatic steatosis. I'm going to have to set up a virtual appointment, or book a flight out to Florida for a thorough workup with you. Great work as usual. I love your ability to cut through the crap

@markwhite6782 Месяц назад

I too lost 52 pounds in 7 months and increase lean muscle mass. My HDL was 64 with triglycerides over 200. Once I quit sugar, carbs and started intermittent and prolonged fasting my latest blood work had HDL of 113 with triglycerides of 44. My LDL was 131 and my PCP said he wants to lower it. Nope, not going to take a statin. I'm 62 now and hope I didn't start too late.

@MrLeewsee Месяц назад

where are his HDLs? Sounds like insulin resistance (high TGL). TGL to HDL ratio has been used as a marker for IR. If it were me I would go strict keto, supplement with K2, D3, MCTs, or saturated fat (animal) and Carnitine. The alcohol may be preventing the clearing of TGL by corrupting Lipase (clearing factor). CLEARING FACTOR LIPASE AND ITS ROLE IN THE REGULATION OF TRIGLYCERIDE UTILIZATION. STUDIES ON THE ENZYME IN ADIPOSE TISSUE. D. S. Robinson and D. R. Wing Department of Biochemistry, University of Leeds England It is now generally accepted that the main physiological function of the enzyme clearing factor lipase, or lipoprotein lipase, is to facilitate the uptake of triglyceride fatty acids (TGF A) from the blood by the extrahepatic tissues (1). This function is thought to be exercised through the initiation by the enzyme of the hydrolysis of chylomicron and very low density lipoprotein triglycerides that are sequestered at the luminal surface of the endothelial cells of the blood capillaries. Furthermore, changes in the activity of the enzyme that occur in particular tissues with changes in physiological status are believed to be responsible for corresponding changes in the uptake of the plasma TGFA by these tissues. Thus, the enzyme probably also performs a directive function in determining the pattern of TGF A removal from the bloodstream. In view of this proposed secondary role of clearing factor lipase, it is clearly important to elucidate the factors which control, and the mechanisms which underlie, the changes in its activity. These questions are considered here in relation to the enzyme in adipose tissue. The activity in this tissue is known to fall markedly on starvation and to rise again on refeeding, and these changes can be directly correlated with corresponding changes in the ability of the tissue to take up TGFA from the bloodstream. SOIne information on the factors which may control these changes in adipose tissue enzyme activity has become available as a result of the development of incubation systems in which the low clearing factor lipase activity, characteristic of intact epididymal 71 W. L. Holmes et al. (eds.), Pharmacological Control of Lipid Metabolism © Springer Science+Business Media New York 1972 72 D. S. ROBINSON AND D. R. WING adipose tissue from fasted animals, increases progressively in vitro over a period of several hours at 37 0 to reach a plateau level not far below that found in the tis sue in the fed animal (2, 3). Such activity increase is dependent on glucose and insulin and is inhibited by adrenaline, noradrenaline and adrenocorticotrophic hormone. Glucagon and thyroid- stimulating hormone have been shown to have similar inhibitory effects (4). It is significant that all the hormones which inhibit the rise in clearing factor lipase activity described above have also been shown in independent studie s to enhance the activity of the so - called mobilizing lipase in adipose tissue, which is responsible for breaking down triglycerides that are stored in the tissue and, therefore, for mobilizing fatty acids from it (5). Moreover, insulin is able to prevent such activation. This has suggested the possibility of a single control mechanism affecting differentially the two lipases conce rned re spectively with triglyceride depo sition in (clearing factor lipase) and mobilization from (mobilizing lipase) adipose tissue. There is already considerable evidence that the activating effects of hormones on the latter enzyme are mediated through a rise in the cyclic AMP concentration in the tissue (5). It is of interest, therefore, that the rise in adipose tissue clearing factor lipase activity which occurs under approprIate IncubatIon condItIonS in vitro is inhibited in the presence of the dibutyryl derivative of cyclic AMP (6). This clearly suggests that tissue cyclic AMP could be the common mediator of the hormonal actions, a change in its concentration altering the activity of the two lipases in opposite directions. Any effect of cyclic AMP on clearing factor lipase activity could be either direct or indirect. Thus, a rise in the cyclic AMP concentration in adipose tissue usually brings about a rise in the FF A concentration in the tis sue because of activation of the mobilizing lipase (7); and, at least under certain conditions in vitro, this in turn causes a fall in the tissue ATP concentration (8,9,10). Either of these two secondary changes could clearly be the immediate factor influencing the clearing factor lipase activity. However, correlations between FF A concentration and clearing factor lipase activity in adipose tissue in a variety of situations in vivo and in vitro are not always close and changes in ATP concentration in the tissue have not yet been shown to occur in vivo under conditions when the activity of the enzyme alters. Thus, the que stion of whether any cyclic AMP effect on the enzyme is direct or indirect remains unsettled at the present time.

@shaunkong62 Месяц назад

I think there are lots of pointers on how to reduce high triglycerides on the Internet, like Mayo Clinic or the Cleveland clinic etc.etc. Go, Keto !! Triglycerides are not as confusing to reduce as cholesterol/ LDL. Basically, eat less carbohydrates, so straightforward !! Because with high cholesterol or LDL , you have to take statins. There are various brands. But find the brand that suits you with the least side-effects, etc.etc . With the correct dosage, with no side effects, it even lowers Apo-B as this Doc in this video is going on about.

I have been diagnosed with FH, high LDL, ApoB, small dense LDL and high LP (a). My triglycerides, HDL, A1C , homocysteine and hsCRP levels are all good. I also had a zero CAC scan and have been practicing intermittent fasting for years and restrict carbs and sugar in my diet. I am under the care of at three doctors as I am trying to make sense of all this. My functional medicine doctor believes that I am low risk but my primary care doc absolutely wants me on a statin. I am a post menopausal woman and weary of taking these drugs. I know all about absolute vs relative risk. I also know that with women of my age that statins do not have great efficacy compared to men. I am going to have a stress test and lifeline screening in a few weeks (i.e. carotid, PAD, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and A-fib testing). I am working with an Integrative Cardiologist now that is at least willing to work with me and order advanced testing. I recently had a Boston Heart test performed and it showed that I am not producing too much cholesterol but absorbing too much. I'm hoping this new doctor will be willing to order a Cleerly CCTA test as this seems to be the best measure of soft plaque and atherosclerosis. It's just maddening to me that I have to see multiple doctors just to order the proper tests. We wouldn't prescribe chemo for people who have not been diagnosed with cancer yet we can't get proper testing for heart disease. It's crazy to put someone on a lifetime drug therapy for a disease that is not properly diagnosed and with an unproven treatment.

@robertcywes2966 Месяц назад

@chrisminifie219 Месяц назад

It has been suggested that I have FH. I cannot have it because I developed high LDL only after going low carb, whereas someone with FH will have it from birth on any diet. Is this what happened to you? Only a minority of people with FU will have health issues due to having it. This group have problems due to a second associated genetic abnormality that increases blood clotting. If you don’t have this, chances are you don’t, then you are no more at risk than anyone else. Dr Paul Mason has a video about this. Ask your doctor. Here is a study about it www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9409002/

@shaunkong62 Месяц назад

A blood test of the same Lipid Panel Tests should not be expensive. Get at least one every 3 months. There are many brands of statins that do not have the same miserable side effects as Lipitol. Try different brand. Good Luck. They reduce overall your Cholesterol or LDL and therefore your APO-B level is also reduced. Don't eat too much. You shouldn't be overweight. You just need to exercise moderately.

He will try to convince me to resume my statin medication that I quit two years ago. My metabolic health is good for my age of 64. Been on low carb/sugar with intermittent fasting for three years and was able to lose 50 pounds (I weigh the same as I did at age 20) and toss my blood pressure meds. My blood pressure today was 108/60, which is my new norm. Total Cholesterol is 304, HDL 95, LDL 189, Triglycerides 90 and CRP is 0.02. A1C is 5.1 and Glucose is 85.

@@Really10801 Yes, too much carbs cause inflammation, as do seed oils, plus nicotine, high fructose corn syrup, diabetes, high blood pressure, and too much Omega 6 with not enough Omega 3. Also, certain infections and diseases can cause inflammation, but our focus here is long-term chronic inflammation caused by poor diet and toxic habits. Inflammation is a normal and beneficial part of the body’s response to injury or infection, but it becomes damaging when it occurs in healthy tissues, or it becomes chronic.

Tot chol - 4.8 mmol/l, HDL-C 1.9 mmol/l, LDL-C 2.5 mmol/l and trigs 1.2 mmol/l. The trigs were assumedly affected by the cheese I had about 5 hours prior to the tests. I would really be interested in what you can find out about inflammation. My CRP level remains elevated; this time 17 mg/l.

Why does cardiovascular disease only occur in the arteries and not the veins? If it was cholesterol and LDL then damage should occur in both places.

@raykinney9907 23 дня назад

Yes, and, if the statin use is continued over twenty five years, gradually increasing the dosage, can it eventually progress to increasing Warburg metabolism? I believe that that was my outcome, which woke me up (finally) to questioning everything I was being told, and resulted in targeted dives down many 'rabbit holes' toward better health. Now, I find it necessary to understand better how the laws of physics of light (and other electromagnetic effects) actually DO apply to biology, but seem to be mostly overlooked by the current medical paradigm. IMHO beware LED lighting indoors, get outside into the daylight often, and even more often in the shade.

Dr Cywes, I know you say you’re a student continuing to learn. So basically we need to treat the inflammation and not the response to inflammation. So if Stents implants require drugs to prevent clotting and also these Stents cause inflammation because they are foreign objects to the body and we react to them. Recently they are finding micro plastics in our blood, found in the cholesterol in our arteries and also recently being discovered in the male penis. So it could be probable the micro plastics are causing inflammation and the body is sending its firemen out to fight it. What can we do to help fight the micro plastics in our body besides reduce food/water stored in plastics. These micro plastics will be a new excuse for doctors to prescribe statins for elevated cholesterol that is addressing the inflammation from micro plastics build up in the body. Will we have to be on dialysis to filter micro plastics out of our blood in the future.

How old are you? If you are not yet in your 50s you may be able to delay LDL reduction by changing your diet. Your main risk right now are your blood glucose and insulin levels and you can fix that with diet (plus increasing your number of steps per day to 8000-10000). Research shows that high LDL can be dangerous if your blood glucose, insulin and triglycerides are also high. Also check your inflammation markers like CRP and stop smoking if you still smoke. If you are already in your 50s you have to check if you already have plaque through Coronary Calcium Score (CAC). A daily baby aspirin might also be helpful while you control your insulin and glucose (it's an anticoagulant)

My CAC at 160 shows "scarring in my descending thoracic artery", i.e., "Widowmaker" and have been denied an angiogram.😭. Oh, by the way my formerly well-controlled blood pressure is now completely out of whack, even after DOUBLING my Cardura dose, with Clonodine for systolic above 180! My cardiologist not only doesn't care but I believe he's hoping I'll die because I continue to refuse statins or his "new, no side-effect" injections.
