I'd had high cholesterol for many years. Initially my GP recommended a low fat diet that I stayed on for six months - to very little effect. He then recommended statins that I took for a number of years despite suffering side effects (and changing statin). By the age of 50+ I told my GP I didn't want to suffer the side effects anymore and come of the statins. I was referred to a consultant at the Royal Surrey CH in Guildford who proposed a calcium score heart scan (that cost me £500 as it was not covered by the NHS or my private health plan!) He said if the score was low he'd be OK with me coming off the statins. It was zero! So no more statins. He did recommend I took a further test after five years so in 2012 I took another test - zero again! He also said that if the NHS funded the calcium score heart scans it could save itself £millions in prescribed statins! I recently had an NHS Health Check (including blood test) and was called in to see my [new] GP. "You have high cholesterol and you need to consider statins." I showed him the report from the heart scan (that showed that although I was 59 I had a heart equivalent to a 39-year-old!) So I said no thanks to the statins. What's worrying is that the GP had never heard of the Calcium Score Heart Scan! How many other GPs are ignorant of it!?
Just last week I had to politely inform my GP that my slightly raised total cholesterol did not matter to me. I mentioned my low calcium score and my risk as per the MESA score. My triglyceride matters as does my HDL. The ratio to me is important. I'm improving that via low carb, lots of fat with the protein.
i wish Kaiser Permanente would listen to this.I am 55 year ols male with total cholesterol of 318 and Zero CAC score no insulin resistance low BP low CRP ferritin of 28 ETC ETC yet my GP thinks I NEED to be on a Statin which Im glad im educated enough not to take.Keep educating peiple Ivor
Hi Jerry, I am a retired Kaiser Permanente emergency physician. Kaiser Permanente is a large medical group with physicians who have different points of view. You might show this to your doctor: www.thepermanentejournal.org/issues/2015/fall/5945-insulin-resistance.html That might help her/him understand why you have chosen not to take a statin since it is a Kaiser Permanente article. Your doctor may recommend a statin but that is a recommendation, not a commandment. Most Kaiser physicians are pretty easy going in my experience and will be fine with your decision not to take a statin. But if your doctor still pushes back, it's easy to switch docs in the Kaiser system. My wife sees a Kaiser doctor as I do, and her doctor recommended a statin. But she had no problem when my wife declined. Hope this helps.
Modern medicine has become so institutionalized that doctors are now essentially highly trained technicians. I call them "McDoctors". Sure, they sometimes get to exercise some clinical judgement, but most of they time they're just trying to fit you into a box so they can write an Rx and get you out the door. For this they rely on -wrote- rote memorization of the guidelines and decision trees, not critical thinking. This is why their eyes glaze over when you give them a complex history. What they want and what they expect is a short bullet point list that fits the model of an exam question on their medical licensing exam. Anything more just confuses them. So yeah, you want an engineer because engineers actually solve problems.
Great presentation. I'm frustrated by the mainstream's insistence that we use the term "in remission" instead of "cured", for people who just don't have Type 2 Diabetes anymore. Imagine going to the doctor to follow-up on your recovery from a broken leg bone, and, instead of the doctor saying the normal thing -- "your fracture is healed" -- he said "you're only in remission, because if you fall off of a roof again, you COULD get another leg fracture". You'd think the doctor was nuts.
Here's why I would consider the term in remission to be accurate, for me. After 4 years of keto, I'm still insulin resistant even though my a1c is very good. It's good because I manage the sugar. Even sugar substitutes raise my blood sugar, my metabolic system may always be damaged, for me. It's not falling off the roof, any sugar, including an apple throws my blood sugar off and it takes hours to return to pre food levels. Not everyone is the same, but many people are. If your blood sugar returns to pre food levels within and hr or two consider yourself fortunate. To be cured, get a sugar test - forgot the official name. And get insulin tested after you have had sugar water, see how long it takes for your body to return blood sugar and insulin to normal levels. Now that's the definitive test for diabetes. Best wishes.
Ivor, thank you for posting this excellent presentation. Some of the slides list vitamin/mineral deficiencies as possible risk factors. Those in orthomolecular medicine (i.e. mega dose vitamin therapy) like Dr. Linus Pauling and Dr. Thomas Levy postulate that a lack of Vitamin C makes the arteries weaker and more susceptible to the disease process which leads to plaque deposition. Have you seen any such research about the effectiveness of Vitamin C either in preventing CVD or reducing the extent of plaque once it has been deposited? Thank you.
Having been on a keto diet for about 6 weeks or so, and having lost about 6kg, I'm concerned about the part at the end (APOE4), and what he just briefly mentioned about cheeses and high fat intake. Not sure what that entails, exactly. My dad was diabetic, mom had rheumatoid arthritis, and my brother has progressive MS and is in a wheelchair.
There is no conclusive data on this.As an a APOE4 my focus is to maintain insulin sensitivity and keep the insulin low as this is what provides the greatest protection.I do not eat dairy or grains as I am concerned about gluten and casein sensitivity and the hormone load with dairy.I largely eat what was eaten pre 10k yrs ago and the only fruit I eat is berries.I only drink distilled water and add electrolytes as required.Having got used to this way of living I largely ignore my APOE4 status and let the cards fall as they will.
@@tonynoonan3723 Interesting. So, all dairy, including butter and cheese, or just milk, ice cream, and yoghurt? I've watched some videos that say cheese is in a different class than milk (can't recall the exact reason) as well as butter, being a fatty oil. Since I posted, I've gone about 99% carnivore, and my strength has gone up, rebound after exercise, and I've dropped another 1.5 kg.
@@canadianroot Nutritional Anthropology and studies of the few remaining hunter gatherer societies clearly show that humans can be healthy on animal based or plant based diets.No human can be healthy on processed food.There are camps on both sides claiming the superiority of their choice.The APOE4 easily become inflamed thus an anti inflammatory diet is preferred.Gluten and casein are inflammatory especially as we age and the casein is in all dairy products.We are the only mammal that consumes the milk/products of another mammal and also the only mammal that consumes the milk of any mammal as adults.There is no doubt that some people do ok with dairy but the APOE4 need to be careful and I avoid it as I am at high risk of developing Alzheimers due to my status and family history.Coronary artery disease is in essence an inflammatory disease of the blood vessel so again,an anti inflammatory diet and a low insulin target makes sense on many levels for me.My approach is zero processed food,dairy, seed oils and grains.Other than that I eat all animals,above ground plants,berries and some nuts.Best of luck with your health and dietary choices
@@tonynoonan3723 Thanks, my friend! Same to you. I'm curious about the talk of plant toxicity (along with words that are somewhat new to me: oxalates, phytotoxins, lectins, etc.). The fact that nutrients aren't readily absorbed from plants and fibre. All I can go by is how I'm feeling now. I've been vegan in the past, and never got toned, always had trouble with weight management (even while keeping processed foods to a bare minimum....that damn carb addiction). In my mind I wish I didn't have to eat meat, but it is what it is.
Problem is, I have a constant battle with GP's and even yougn hospital doctors (I went in because I had a bruised lung after a fall) who insist they 'know best' and that somehow saturated fat/ high cholesterol is the devil. The fact I have a low sugar/carb diet and nice low triglycerides, am a healthy weight, and no signs of metabolic syndrome etc completely passes them by. They are obsessed. I live in France and the shortage of GP's mean a lot of old doctors are still in place or have come out of retirement. Heck, one of them even has the bloody FOOD PYRAMID on the waiting room wall. Informing people that the best thing they can do is cut out butter, eat margarine and seed oil instead ...along with 'healthy' whole grains. I doubt any of them have read a study since 1990. Of course, since the 'healthy' advice to cut back on meat and healthy fats and eat more carbs and 'stuff from the stuff machine' France is catching up on the rest of the West in terms of obesity.
I’ve eat butter olive oil and meat 6 times a day for 28 years I’ve had a 2 full heart scans with both with contrast one with exercise the other without no blockage and I’m 45 year old male all my other organs are perfect as well
Saying you can't eat food with cholesterol because it's bad for you is like saying you can't grow plants with carbon dioxide because it will kill them. Is it because humans are simply that stupid or is it because those we depend on in the health community fail us by falling pray to government and corporate wishes whether they be profit or resource driven. I just started a carnivore diet and I can't wait to see the results. Thanks Ivor for what you do.

My LDL tests over 300 mg/dL, but my other markers, like fasting glucose and insulin, A1c, Crp(hs), insulin resistance and bood pressure all measure normal/low.
