Re: Ketogenic diet for migraines

All triptans are usually able to be used 10 days a month (to maximum 15 days a month in some people) without risk of medication-induced headache.

Re: Optimal levels of LDL for E4 carriers

Re: Optimal levels of LDL for E4 carriers

Great info, Gene. We’ve got a few threads focused specifically on HDL. This one examines the importance of focusing on the functionality of HDL. Feel free to repost your links there.

Welcome... I would get retested on the Calcium Score every second year to be sure it does not keep moving up as 700 is a bit high. I would also counter and say the advanced lipid panel will provide some risk guidance and you should get that soon. Taking 600mg Kyolic 4 capsules will help reduce CAC b...
