Low dose naltrexone for Sjogren's?
Just wondering if anybody here has taken or knows anything about low-dose naltrexone in treating Sjogren's sydrome? I read an interesting case report recently and have also heard anecdotal success stories in it's use - https://ldnresearchtrust.org/sites/default/files/sjogrens%20publication.pdf I am currently

Lipid panel says I reduced cholesterol from 320 to 171 in 6 weeks. Is that even possible?
, and got a new lipid panel yesterday, which (amazingly) showed: Total: 171 HDL: 71
LDL
: 85 Needless to say, I'm very happy, though somewhat suspicious since what little I've read online suggests that a 47% reduction in < 6 weeks is...atypical bordering on impossible.

LDL paradox
- TC: 232 HDL: 56 TG: 77
LDL
: 158 I'm 64 yo, very active, non-smoker, BMI 23, not on any supplements, nor have been. I read one study that said higher carbs raise VLDL and thus
LDL
. So could it be that by eating legumes (higher carbs) actually raised my
LDL
?

Would Should I Do
I have been a member of this forum for about 2 years and have learned a lot from others as to how they are coping with their symptoms and the treatments they are using. I have the rigid type of Parkinsons disease which started originally on my left body side, but now has progressed to the right side

Waste of time with GP
Yeah right considering my
LDL
is slightly above the 2.0 it should be at...so no doctorits not normal to a heart patient. I asked him about my HbA1c level and
LDL
particle number and he's response was a blank stare!

Endocrinologist visit
Dear all, Comments are very welcome, direction guidance also. I had my 2nd endo visit, the first one I noted on the forum as was observed as a crappy letter which it was. I was ready to take forward the advice I received last time from #fightfor your thyroid# 🤸♀️ I didn’t take my normal medication

Can a plant-based diet reverse heart disease?
In addition, the study showed
a reduction in low-density lipoprotein (
) (37.2%) that is similar to results achieved with lipid-lowering medications.

Low carb and Keto diets
The relationships between sugar, insulin and cholesterol (
ldl
/hdl) are identified, explored and clarified, with lots of recent fascinating research findings clearly identifying the destructive chain of events that absorbing hidden sugar sets off. Is anyone else reading/has read this book?

Eat healthily, normal BP, swim twice a week & walk approx 10 miles per week High cholesterol ( 8.2.. 2.26 HDL & 5.52
LDL
) I’m assuming it’s familial but not sure. No knowledge of heart attacks or strokes in the family.
