Re: Anyone lowered LDL drastically WITHOUT statins ?

Susan and Ron, thank you for your comments and hints. From what I gather so far, my high LDL ist not the only culprit and lowering it drastically with Statins as the main strategy is questionable. I am going to try a low fat (mostly vegetarian) diet, with saturated fat sharply reduced and take high ...

Re: Anyone lowered LDL drastically WITHOUT statins ?

Rick, thank you for your comment. I am living in Germany and we measure "particle count" differently: particles are separated into 7 subgroups according to size. Most of my particles are big, but I do have a few small ones too und I do have PLAQUE. Actually I do not worry too much about my...

Anyone lowered LDL drastically WITHOUT statins ?

Hi there, just recently I discovered that my left carotid artery ias about 50% blocked. Cardiologist says if I have plaqe there, I certainly will have it elsewhere and insists of me taking a statin (Atorvastatin 40 mg). to drastically lower my LDL. My numbers: LDL: 180 HDL: 60 Trigs: 90 Hba1c: 5.4 A...

Is the BREDESEN protocol effective?

Re: Dr. Steven Gundry with diet recommendations for ApoE4

Tincup, thanks for your answer. Yes, saturated fat is bad, for me, I know. Digging out more lab results: LipidPerOx: 64 mmol/ltr OxLDL: 30 ng/ml My Doc says, those values are good. I am still eating "low carb bread" (tons of super good tasting bread in Germany), which is difficult for me t...
