My husband has just returned from his GP with a prescription for statins. He's feeling confused about whether to take them.
My hubby is 62 and a type 2 diabetic 5.6 (on medication) His blood pressure is normal. His weight is perfect for his height. His total cholesterol is 3.2 (he doesn't know the broken down figures). He's never had any heart problems and is in decent health otherwise. The doctor prescribed 20mg of Atorvastatin

Hashimotos, long-term use of just Levo and chorlesterol.
I have recently read up (Stop the Thyroid Madness and Dr P book) and wondered what people thought about the issue with Cholesterol problems resulting from taking T4 only for many years? This seems to be a Hashi issue. My GP has never mentioned this, I have never had a cholesterol test. I am nearly 45

3 grains of NDT and my T4 is only 8.2???
Hi, I've been switching over from T3 only (60mcgs) to NDT. I feel very hypo even though I'm now on 4 grains and I suspect I'm not converting. However I had some bloods done last week when I was on 3 grains of NDT and my TSH had come up from 0.01 since the last time it was tested on T3 only (as one

cholesterol and statins
Just to add my word on this subject as it important to note that not only the carbo ans sugar guzzlers suffer from high bad cholesterol; it can also be due to hereditary reasons, which is my case, I tried all to reduce my HDL but to no avail, it has stayed stable at 6.5 and 7.74 mmol/total for many

Pomegranate Juice and PON-1
I have recently made an alteration to my morning smoothie. I now have beetroot and spinach blended with some natural pomegranate juice. Studies showed an 83% increase in human serum PON-1 when people used pomegranate juice for a year. So whats the big deal with PON-1 ?. PON-1 is a molecule attached to

Thalassemia b minor and hypothyroidism
I was born with the type of thalassemia b minor that is such that two hematologists in the US, where I had lived up to 15 years ago, both advised me to take folic acid 5mg a day supplement. I've taken this amount of folic acid all of my life since that point many years ago. I was also on 200 mcg

The cholesterol,a brief summary of its function and synthesis and how statins works to lower it.
There is a lot of controversy going on role of cholesterol as well as on a group of drugs known as STATINS.Many have dubbed this drug as useless while others have branded it potentially harmful.So, there is a lot of confusion as many research papers which support the use of statins are said to be sponsored

"We just treat ranges"
Yes, this is what I actually heard come out of a GP's mouth last time I spoke on the phone and requested a print out of all my thyroid and cholesterol tests. Since they lowered my dosage by 25 mcg of thyroxine 2.5 years ago, my cholesterol shot way up. I insisted on trying to get back to the level
