What if we could prevent strokes?
I posted this review of an academic paper in the LCHF group - because it's the sort of thing low-carbers like - but I really think it's one of those things everyone should read. It's particularly relevant to the conversation about statins from a couple of weeks back. https://healthunlocked.com/lchf-diet

What if we could prevent strokes?
Strokes are probably more feared than heart attacks, because a serious one can rob you of your most valued faculties: your mind or your mobility. Because of what they do to the patient, they also represent a costly burden on the heath service. Wouldn't it be nice if we knew what caused them? It turns

Angioplasty support
I am new to the forum and just wanted to provide any support for anyone undergoing a stent procedure or recovering from one. I am a 61 year old male and I kept myself active with running, sailing, cycling etc. However, I started to become breathless when walking the dog. Net result was that I needed

Help please!!! Losing the will to carry on.
Thyroidectomy 1992 due to cancer. Since then been on levothyroxine. Since my last post here in Nov 2019 concerning hyperthyroidism and cardio issues my physical, emotional and mental health has deteriorated greatly. Honestly, I am losing the will to carry on which really scares me. I am drained mentally

Statin use in advanced PCA with ADT or abiraterone/enzalutamide
New meta-analysis below [1]. Does statin use affect mortality when used with classic ADT or Zytiga/Xtandi?
Bottom line:
... statins reduced all-cause mortality by 27% & PCa-specific mortality by 36%.
"Databases were searched using keywords (abiraterone OR enzalutamide OR androgen deprivation

Fibroscan shows slight fatty liver
I was diagnosed early stage 1 in 2000 and have responded well to Urso, LFT's came back to almost normal in the first year and have stayed there since. I went for a fibroscan yesterday. Although I have to wait for the liver specialist to interpret the results, the nurse who did the scan told me there

NHS to Pioneer Inclisiran Trial
The NHS are going to trial about 40,000 with Inclisiran. Rather than take daily statins they will receive twice yearly injection of this new drug. The report is here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51091083 The photo is a bit dramatic - it looks as if the guy has taken a bullet from a .44 Magnum

Saturated Fat
In the early 1800s, people believed that organic compounds (chemicals associated with living processes) were fundamentally different to inorganic ones. They thought that such compounds were imbued with a sort of life-force, and that man would never be able to replicate them. Friedrich Wohler upset everybody

LCHF Dilatory Pattern disturbed briefly -SUGAR LEVEL NOT COMING DOWN .....Afterward!
As an adherent of LCHF diets since 2015 I have been managing my Type 2 condition very satisfactorily. My readings have been around 120 until June 2019. I was trapped into a situation where I was forced to do away with my controlled diets for about a months’ time leaving me with readings around 160

Statins and lethal prostate cancer
I'm just putting this out there in hopes somebody can translate it for those of us with PCa and heart disease who need statins to control cholesterol and triglycerides. I have no clue how well-done the study is or how conclusive or how it fits in with all the other studies. The evidence for and against
