Is FH as dangerous as we're lead to believe ?
I've posted about this study before, but as there are a fair number of new people on the board, it's worth repeating because it's one of the few studies that attempts to look at what happens in familial hypercholesterolemia without selection for early cardiovascular disease. To explain this simply

Dr Shirine Boardman
I understand that Dr Boardman is happy for her name to appear in postings. Has anyone been referred to her via their NHS GP rather than privately? I'm seeing my GP next week and am hoping the opportunity will arise for me to ask for a referral. I'll be discussing: 1) results of MRI head scan to determine

What do you make of my recent blood work?
Hi Folks! I am self-medicating with NDT (from Thailand) purchased on-line, as where I live they only prescribe T4. I had been on Armour for a number of years and then on T3 alone and then nothing for a year and had weight gain and other symptoms. These are my recent labs: FT4 23.3 FT3 10.8 TSH <

I am still all for my coconut oil, ghee, and olive oil, only cold on salads, but this article is very interesting.
The article goes back to my thoughts, that no matter what your hdl and ldl levels are, it just depends on how good the hdls work at clearing up the garbage, of the ldls. So your total lipid profile, is certainly not the best marker of your arterial health, they should be checking the elasticity, and
