For me, I think the benefits outweigh the risks too. But, I just can't tolerate the muscle pain. I do get some benefit with micro doses. I take 5 mg Atorvastatin twice a week but need to take about every 4th week off as the muscle pain becomes intolerable enough that I am reluctant to exercise. But,...

I think the research is pretty robust as to the cardiovascular benefits of statins. But, these are population studies and we don't know what individuals do benefit. The ASCVD calculator helps, but I don't feel it is robust enough. I think looking at genetics to determine such things, like the APOE a...

I very occasionally (especially when I'm particularly low in weight or having trouble getting into ketosis/feel hungry) put in a tiny amount of this vanilla-infused, non-dairy ghee.

In addition to Stavia's recommendations, I was able to add on a Homocysteine level and hs-CRP due to family history of cardiac disease and high cholesterol,

Thanks for the timely post SGW811. Just got back my homocysteine and it is 13 and I have a MTHFR variant but not the one that increases homocysteine so I am perusing vitamins at this moment and I've settled on a Prothera Active B complex

I have 2 parents with Alzheimer's, one moderate the other severe. I would not start them on the Bredesen protocol. They are too far along to have limitations on food and are unable to take a lot of supplements.

My daughter uses a product by Schmidt's Also, the MOM blends are effective I believe.
