familial hypercholesterolemia
-
Hello friends! Did Ray say anything about familial hypercholesterolemia?
There is: a man 35 years old (that's me), three heart attacks (the last one in August 2024), CABG, about seven stents. Medicines at the moment: aspirin 100 mg per day, atorvastatin 80 mg, bisoprolol and other drugs I will not write.
Any ideas what to do?I'm writing through Google Translate
-
@alex155 no, but he isn't so much inclined to believe in the genetic origin of diseases, and familial hypercholesterolemia is one such disease peddled by the medical establishment.
-
@yerrag but if the grandfather (died at 40) and father (died at 28) from atherosclerosis, isn't it genetics?
-
I had my first heart attack when I was 21 years old
-
@alex155 there may be a tendency to develop a disease, but that isn't deterministic. But there are practices common to the family that disposes them to developing a sickness. Or a geographical vector, such as living in Flint Michigan where everyone drinks from a common poisoned well. But our doctors are blinded from investigating such possibilities because they are stuck to the genetic angle.
-
@yerrag you think doctors universally as a whole don’t consider environmental and other risk factors to balance genetic predisposition? the way you post without qualifiers makes it an implied universal statement
-
@sunsunsun you have a valid point yet when the ten commandments say thou shall not kill do you criticize it for lacking qualifiers? that's what kindergarten is for and why fables simplify lessons for the undeveloped mind. I thought people here have more developed minds and can read between the lines.
are you a fundamentalist? Doesn't matter if you're Christian, or Muslim, or atheist. Finish your k-12 education and not just earn medals for participation.

@yerrag youre the one using the qualifying word “our” instead of “some” or even “many” .
-
@yerrag you are projecting again to try to assauge your cognitive bias , to make me fit into a label so your theory about me makes sense to you. you did the same thing when you said i dont know of ray, to which i didnt even respond because your projections are so funny
-
@yerrag and lastly , the pathetic cope of your argument criticizing universally institutional medicine while then trying to tell me to finish a formal institutional education, the same education system which produces the institutional doctors you imply you abhor
your posts are mostly gay and retarded and even when i was being nice to you and used specific qualifiers so you would know i dont mean to offend you IF your position is good natured, you still took it as offense , thereby actually confirming that you were replying with the babbling accusation in the negative and not positive
-
@sunsunsun your answer betrays your tendency to object to trivial matters like you have nothing else of substance to say. you deserve to be ignored.
-
@yerrag its trivial to you to be clear about attitude and opinion ?

@alex155 Have you read Broda Barnes's book Solved The Riddle Of Heart Attacks? T3 is very important for heart health, maybe the most important factor. It lower QT prolongation, retains magnesium, increases CO2, anti-fibrotic to the heart, and lowers the cholesterol by increasing it's turnover.
What is your TSH? A TSH over 2 has an increase in pulse wave velocity and dramatically increases the chances of hardening of the arteries. So it's very possible for your doctor to say "you look fine" because they would not consider that a high TSH (here in America anyways).
Next thing to look into is Linus Pauling's work with vitamin C. Vitamin C is the really the X factor that makes glycine work. Without it, glycine can't really do it's job. Vitamin C increases collagen synthesis in the arteries, allowing them to stay bendable and flexible. The addition of Lysine to Vit C will also bind to lipoprotein(a), preventing/removing the plaque from the arterial wall. Even though Pauling's work was never proven in a scientific setting, there's a significant number of personal anecdotes from people with this protocol. Unbeknownst to Pauling, lysine is also a 5-ht4 antagonist, and can help in the treatment of heart failure as well.

@alex155 said in familial hypercholesterolemia:
@yerrag but if the grandfather (died at 40) and father (died at 28) from atherosclerosis, isn't it genetics?
There probably is a genetic factor, at least in hypercholesterolemia. Look at the Ashkenazi Jews for example.
Nevertheless like most diseases heart disease is extremely influenced by environmental impact. Maybe even more so than other diseases.
Lower PUFA's as low as possible, don't eat fortified iron, get vitamin D (ideally through UV light but if not that than supplement). Don't fall for the anti-sugar shit either. In fact, someone in your situation would probably benefit from a high sugar diet. Kempner's sugar diet reversed stenosis.

@Mulloch94 Thank you very much for the answers! My TSH is surprisingly exactly 2, I recently gave blood! I also want to give blood for free T3 and T4. Isn't it dangerous to take T3 with three heart attacks? I wanted to order it many times, but I'm afraid to be honest. I haven't taken PUFAs for 4 years, I try to stay in the sun. I will read the literature you provided, thank you very much!

@alex155 People with history of heart attacks can take thyroid but they shouldn't start on a dosage any bigger than half a grain (according to Broda Barnes). You should probably read is Unsuspecting Illness book as well, it's technically probably his "magnum opus" and it explains all that.
In your specific situation, beings you're already on the borderline with your TSH, I would just try and bring it down natural ways without thyroid hormone. Localized red light therapy on your neck is a good way to stimulate the gland and bring down TSH. Magnesium may also help. Also selenium in your diet, make sure you get that.
You could try thyroid but I would really think that's best served for people with a TSH 4, 5, or even higher.

@Mulloch94 Understood! Thank you)
