INFLAMMATION NOT LDL

INFLAMMATION NOT LDL

At a medical conference I asked a Chairman of Medicine of a prestigious university how he would treat a man who had a massive heart attack with a cholesterol of only 140, LDL of 50, normal coronary arteries, and no other risk factors.  He said ‘That’s a no brainer – give him a high dose statin.’  I then said, “That man’s cholesterol, LDL and coronary arteries are excellent.  It’s probably only inflammation or a clot, so one could use vitamins and other nutrients instead.”  He abruptly and arrogantly said ‘No, give him a statin’ and he turned away.  This is what Big Pharma does.  They pay so-called “thought leaders” to influence other doctors to prescribe their drugs. And these “thought leaders” must not deviate from the written words given to them by Big Pharma.

CHRONIC TRAUMATIC ENCEPHALOPATHY (CTE) IN PLAYERS OF AMERICAN FOOTBALL

Vince Lombardi said, “Football is not a contact sport, it is a collision sport.” Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), brain damage, was diagnosed at autopsy in 177 players across all levels of play (87%), including 110 of 111 former National Football League players (99%). Nearly one quarter of the 14 high school players in the study had Chronic Trauma Encephalopathy, indicating that permanent damage begins at an early age.

MARIJUANA EDIBLES

MARIJUANA EDIBLES

Over-intoxication could be common because some of these products contain 4 or 5 times the “normal” amount that when ingested rather than smoked increases the metabolic effects of marijuana. The majority of marijuana related events of children forced to emergency rooms in Colorado were because of edibles. There are now more car accidents, psychiatric disorders etc.

NUTRITIONAL HYDRATION FOR COLD ENVIRONMENTS

An adequate energy source is most important in a cold environment. The US Military concludes that the energy needed for a person in a cold environment is between 4000 to 5000 kcal because a great amount of energy is required to keep warm. Carbohydrate foods are preferred over fats again because they are easier to use by the body, and glucose and glycogen, made from carbohydrates, are required for the shivering process.
