As I understand it, it’s not the level of calcium in the CAC score that’s the issue, it’s whether it is stable and still laying down more deposits each time the body “repairs” it. Look forward to reading it and, like your other books, giving it as a present to those who might benefit from it. I think that most of the useful things I’ve learned about cooking have resulted from pure experimentation – not always successful but certainly enlightening. Perhaps your husband and you can go and see his GP about this, especially as you are rightly concerned about it – pity Covid is getting in the way of having GP consultations.

Hint, it is not cholesterol, or LDL, or LDL/cholesterol, or the good cholesterol/bad cholesterol ratio – or whichever term is in favour today. The least l can do, a) to further inform myself, and b) as a mark of respect and gratitude for Dr K’s courage and determination to pursue independent thought, wherever it might lead, despite the threats and calumny he must have faced! Peter challenges himself to film an “unfilmable” book and creates one of the seminal movies of the 1970s: The Last Picture Show. Below, for example, is a list of factors that are closely associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. It seems to me that as in Blade Runner where Tyrell is explaining to Roy the facts of life “The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long” is no idle boast.Is it possible that our villain was simply left holding the gun whilst the true culprits ran and hid? They don’t want to be reminded that they queued up for the jab before doing their homework, it seems. In the early days of the pandemic even the WHO and the likes of the delightful Fauci were saying the same thing. If you play around with the calculator, changing the cholesterol level makes very little difference to the patient’s risk, while for example, increasing the blood pressure or changing the smoking status, makes a big difference.

The Clot Thickens: The enduring mystery of heart disease The Clot Thickens: The enduring mystery of heart disease

Galilleo’s approach of ridiculing his fellow astronomers (who were also theologians) and the pope didn’t help his case. You don’t always get signs that the valve is too narrow as the heart compensates, but if a person does suddenly get unusually fatigued or dizzy then that can be an indication that the valve needs replacing and they need to see a cardiologist asap. I will keep applying your principles, as there are lots of people out there who don’t want to take statins, and are perfectly happy with their levels. You have always acknowledged the importance of the damage to endothelium, while seemingly focusing much more upon all of the clotting phenomena.

I’ve followed your arguments on this for years and have no trouble believing what you claim to be true, is true. He didn’t get all that many votes, just enough with the marxist NDP supporting his ‘progressive’ agenda to have a majority. People say the plot thickens when a situation or series of events starts to become even more complicated or strange. Thank you for challenging orthodoxy and thinking differently, you are not the first and won’t be the last (I hope)! Also, probably a very naive question – does blood travel more forcefully through arteries being pumped directly from the heart and if it does is the lack of damage to the inside of the veins due to the blood travelling at a gentler pace?

The Great Cholesterol Con: The Truth about What Really Causes

Brownlee’s lab (Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, NYC) into origin of CVD for many years now. If the acid is a fatty acid then it describes plain old fat – yet as you point out, this is not found in the blood stream. One way to check that theory is to look for RCTs comparing morbidity/mortality with blood pressure meds versus placebo.Even if the LDL managed this, once it reached the other side of the cell, the LDL would need to pop back out of the cell and into the artery wall behind – using an inside-out LDL receptor perhaps? I was bowled over with excitement and couldn’t wait to share this podcast with one of my daughters who like me loves both Mick Heron’s books and the utterly fabulous TV series, ‘Slow Horses’ and also, all the Ellie Griffiths books. In other words a revolution as the most oppressive governments will suspend the elections during the declared pandemic state of emergency.
