Test result from medichecks inc high iron saturation
These were my recent results, and the gp report said high iron results and other raised markers not clinically significant but I was alarmed. I don't know enough about it and what markers need to be where to indicate what. And if raised levels be a symptom of autoimmune hypothyroidism. Would be very

Low lipid HDL and lymphoma /SLL
I recently had my lipids checked with my family doctor and she found my HDL on the abnormally low side. Also my absolute lymphocytes increased, they have been fairly stable. I found several 'older' articles ex https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17522388 that show a relationship between low HDL and

CHOLESTEROL IS GOOD. DO NOT PANIC.
*Cholesterol* is finally officially removed from Naughty List The US government has finally accepted that *cholesterol* is not a _nutrient of concern_. doing a U-turn on their warnings to us to stay away from high-cholesterol foods since the 1970s to avoid heart disease and clogged arteries. This means

He's retired and after having my annual blood test for an underactive thyroid my new doctor said my cholesterol has been high every year and is now 7.2 and I need statins! Also I've been over

New blood work: TSH up

Cholesterol and brains
Read an interesting article by 'doctor in the house' GP Rangan Chatterjee. The article was discussing migraines. Apparently CoQ10 is prescribed by more and more neurologists for migraine as it reduces the production of free radicals in the brain. It does make you think that research ought to be carried
