Foods/Supplements-Vitamins: Ketogenic Diet
A. Summary. A ketogenic diet is a very low carbohydrate diet. It is not a high protein diet, so is necessarily a high fat diet. The metabolic syndrome [Mets] increases the risk for cardiovascular disease [CVD], diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [NAFLD] & prostate cancer (PCa). A lower carbohydrate

Days are good but night sweats and restless, poor sleep.
Hi everyone, I started swapping over to ndt some weeks ago. I have struggled to raise my dosage (first 2 days fantastic then went into terrible palpitations and anxiety and had to begin again at 1/4 grain) as I did when I first started taking t4 so after reading about the importance of iron I started

Recent blood test results?
Just checking if SLE can be the cause of low HDL cholesterol and RDW? I've never had a problem with cholesterol and noticed my HDL should be 1.3 mmol/L and it's 0.99. And my RDW is 12.1 (12.2-15.4). I'm usually low on ferritin but all other tests are fine and I do supplement and have for the last

Erectile dysfunction and the risk of prostate cancer.
New study below [1]. I usually post in the Advanced Prostate Cancer group, but this new study might be more helpful here. Over the past 13 years, I have become convinced that PCa is a metabolic disease. Men with PCa have a greater risk of cardiovascular disease & are likely to have some of the symptoms

Hi just got home from seeing my consultant had my first appointment last October as my cholesterol levels where very high 9.5 good cholesterol was a high reading and bad cholesterol was low so she said it was in the family, high heart attack rate in my family and all below the age of 50. My daughter

both hyper and hypo symptoms on T4+T3 combo? Could that be?!?
Long story short. 1. Graves - thyroidectomy - T4 only only worked for a while than crashed into mental and physical meltdown with hypo symptoms 2. Switched to T4/T3 combo, went quite well for more than a year and now feels a crash is around the corner. Funny thing is now the symptoms are from both worlds

Aggressive PCa - Cholesterol - Statins
New German study below. I often feel, in talking about statins, that I need to explain that I am horrified by the number of Americans using them. (& no, I haven't been overdosing on Dr. Mercola.) Coming up to age 70, I am not on any prescriptions except those I have chosen to be on for PCa - & that

Pravastatin Effective Dosage
Hello - I've been on 40mg Pravastatin for about 4 months now. I had a follow up lipid panel, and my cholesterol's effectively been cut by over 40% (from 251 to 153). Given this reduction, I'd like to get on a smaller dose (20mg) but so far the Doctor has resisted and wants to see how my levels are in

Cholesterol level
Hi. My cholesterol is at 5.5. I am a 27 year old male. Is this very bad considering my age? I don't exercise and was told exercising could make a huge difference and bring it down quickly.

Little improvements!
So I've been taking rosuvastatin g for 3 months now despite the muscle pain/crazy dreams/aching arms shoulders and respected cramps and have just had my bloods tested again. Total chol gone down from 6.7 to 5.3, hdl gone up from 1.68 to 1.89 (highest it's ever been) and lol reduced from4.68 to 3.07.

High total cholesterol after a statin break
Oh well it was worth a shot. I decided to stop my statins and see what happened.. And my total cholesterol has shot up to 8.6 with my HDL 1.1 and LDL 6 Triglycerides 3.4.. So I have to go back on statins.. I guess it's in my genes as I am really really fit. I cycles 50 - 60 miles a week, swim 70 80
