Much respect to you Dr. Kahn. Been following you for a few years now. You have helped me with my carotid arteries that has 70% occlusion on the left. ❤
Yeah, he's an awesome guy throughout the years. He got some very good information on lots of topics... my 'health role model' if it doesn't sound stupid what so ever. Greetings from germany.
LOL now come one... whole olives that you eat have been cured for two months which is a form of processing. EVOO first cold press is made from freshly harvested uncured olives. So both are processed just each one differently. The polyphenols may become more bioavailable in the oil.
Just had this test done. I had no plaque. I didn’t quite understand all of it, but my arterial age was 65. I am 55. I have been plant based for 7 years now. My Calcium score was 0. I have anxiety and I think that’s my problem. My doctor wants to put me on a low dose statin. Sounds like that’s a good idea. But I will have to check out the aged garlic extract.
Hi Joella. If you had this test done, and there was no plaque, I would feel reassured. Anxiety can be tough, I deal with that as well. Have you gotten the plaque measured in your coronary arteries or just your carotid arteries? If you have been planned based for seven years, I would honestly not worry your chance of having anything bad happen is exceedingly low
I had angina for years. I am 26. I realized first pesnut butter was a trigger cut it out, then a few years later tried almond butter and it triggered it too, then a year later still struggling this whole time with angina, then i had some avocado oil mayo and found that was a trigger. Then i tried to replace it with cashews organic but found that too caused angina. Been a while now without angina except when i took calcium lots, btw d alpha tocopherol treats angina so does vitamin c so does niacin so does magnesium which is how i functioned the past years. Oil is bad goofy to think its good, completely unecessary causes angina
@@MaynardsSpaceshipI'm vegan btw too don think I mentioned that. Developed the angina while being completely vegan, still vegan too. I may check it out, but I think he's against all supplements? I think many whole folders go too far the natural way when they could combine the whole foods with supplements though removing oil has been so beneficial that I'll continue to test to see if the plants are better. I got to increase my betacarotene through whole foods and see if I can't get off the vitamin e. I don't eat much processed stuff besides no oil bread, no oil spaghetti sauce, sugar salt... But will continue to improve the diet and test to see if I can get off the supps thanks
26 year olds don't get coronary artery disease unless they eat the wrong foods. It's not something that "just happens." Your carb and sugar intake is causing your problems. It's not a coincidence that you developed heart disease on a vegan diet with a high carb intake. Hope you at least look into it before you write off the easy solution to your severe condition.
@@constantineberryman4968 hey, so heart disease is generally considered to take years to develop. The pain is gone after removing oils. My left side of my body is smaller that the right. The left eye is worse. The left part has varicose veins. This has been true since 4th grade. My favorite foods were eggs, hot dogs, pizza etc... I used to eat 8 eggs relatively easily. Look up oil causes heart disease charts you can see the chart of heart disease and oil consumption are very similar. Look up Masai autopsy heart, and you'll see the that Masai had extensive heart disease likewise with Inuit. Success by Kempner, McDougall, suggests that the fat is the problem. If you believe heart disease has increased due to carbohydrates do you really think people are eating more potatoes, fruit, rice, squash corn, etc. ? My problems started well before the vegan diet

Joel, you seem to have missed the role of Matrix Gla Protein in atherosclerosis.. Matrix Gla Protein (MGP) is a vitamin K-dependent protein that plays a critical role in preventing calcification of soft tissues, especially in the cardiovascular system. MGP is particularly important in the context of atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by the buildup of plaque in the arterial walls. Calcification of atherosclerotic plaques is a common feature of advanced atherosclerosis and is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes. In a groundbreaking study by Luo et al. (1997), researchers investigated the function of MGP using a gene knockout experiment in mice. They created MGP-deficient mice by disrupting the MGP gene, effectively eliminating its expression. The results of this experiment provided compelling evidence for the role of MGP in preventing arterial calcification: 1. MGP-deficient mice developed severe calcification of the aorta and its branches within the first two months of life. This calcification was similar to the calcification observed in advanced atherosclerotic plaques in humans. 2. The extensive calcification of blood vessels led to reduced elasticity and increased stiffness, which are characteristic features of atherosclerosis. 3. The MGP-deficient mice died prematurely, typically within two months, due to blood vessel rupture caused by the severe calcification. These findings demonstrated that MGP is a key inhibitor of arterial calcification in vivo and that its absence can lead to accelerated development of atherosclerosis-like conditions. The study provided valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying the calcification of atherosclerotic plaques and highlighted the potential role of MGP in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis. Since this initial study, further research has confirmed the importance of MGP in the context of atherosclerosis. Studies have shown that MGP is expressed in atherosclerotic plaques and that its expression is reduced in advanced calcified plaques. Additionally, polymorphisms in the MGP gene have been associated with increased risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease in humans. Reference: Luo, G., Ducy, P., McKee, M. D., Pinero, G. J., Loyer, E., Behringer, R. R., & Karsenty, G. (1997). Spontaneous calcification of arteries and cartilage in mice lacking matrix GLA protein. Nature, 386(6620), 78-81. doi.org/10.1038/386078a0
He committed suicide because he no longer wanted to suffer through the cancer caused by all the sugar and crap in his diet. Now his legacy lives on through the idealogical malnutrition of millions.
@constantineberryman4968 caused by all the meat he ate before he changed his diet. If you knew his story he was one of those idiots eating alot of meat before he educated himself
"Pritikin was diagnosed with leukemia in 1958, and it had been in remission until early 1980s when he began to suffer severe pain and complications from the disease and associated treatments. Despite this he was fully active until a few weeks before death. He committed suicide at Albany Medical Center on February 21, 1985.[1][2] Per a letter to the editor, at autopsy it is claimed that there was a near absence of atherosclerosis, and that the heart's pumping function was completely uncompromised." per en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Pritikin
