If you ever have doubts...
If you ever have doubts about being vegan remember this: I had 4 CABGs before stents were in wide use, 1997. After years of medication for high blood pressure, I have been on a Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB) diet since March and the evidence of my blood pressure (117/70), cholesterol (2.7) and pulse (

Taking Folic Acid and Vitamin D3 with Oatmeal ?
I have oatmeal (Porridge) in the morning for breakfast. I do this because I have high cholesterol and GP put me on statins but I don’t take statins because adjusting my diet and especially having Oatmeal works very well and lowers the cholesterol so I never take statins. So my question is Oatmeal absorbs

Rehabilitation
Hi I’m on my second week of rehab and it’s great! I was told 2 weeks ago I had unstable angina, so that was the reason I got a stent fitted as I had a nstemi. I am pleased to say my nurse told me today I no longer have unstable angina as I’m on medicine. I also got echocardiogram results and it showed

Butter nonsense: the rise of the cholesterol deniers
This is a fairly long article in the Guardian about the disagreement between those who believe the cholesterol hypothesis and those who do not. Not one single word about thyroid in any guise - so far as I could see. We have had a lot of discussion about cholesterol here over the years.
Please

UnderActive Thyroid & Heart Problems.
Hi All, Can anyone please give me advice on what "Heart Meds" to take with Thyroxin. I take 100mcg Thyroxin daily. I had an ECG in June because of recurring Chest Pain & The Cardio Nurse at my local Hospital says that I most likely had a Mild Heart Attack in Feb when I first had the symptoms.. She

Thrush
The other day hubby noticed something on my lower lip. I thought maybe it was just chapped (always dry since gamma knife several yrs ago) or maybe irritated at dentist a few days before. Then I noticed 3-4 more small white patches my lower lip last evening. No other lesion mouth or tongue. I think it

Statins anti inflammatory effect on arthritis?
My docs say no, I say “ what say you?”. I reluctantly agreed to take Lipitor 80 mg daily( Atorvastatin) as my cholesterol continues to rise in spite of my exercise, healthier eating and 45 lb wt loss😢. I was skeptical as all I’ve heard were negatives re side effects. After 3 mo, no side effects yet

Could this be Angina related?
Currently suffering from what I can only describe as severe at times...pain radiating at the back of neck both below the earlobe and travelling down into shoulders Very hard to tilt head or move side to side And often is in tandem with chest pain I'm still experiencing often these days. I really don't

Is Atorvastatin causing my anxiety?
Hi, I was happily on Simvastatin for years, then my GP changed me to Atorvastatin because a blood test showed that my cholesterol was high. A few weeks after starting the Atorvastatin I developed horrible anxiety, bad dreams and my husband says I spend all night jumping around and twitching (no wonder

Hemochromatisis with a Ferritin of 394.0 ug/L - range for women is - 13.0 - 150.0 yg/L -
For a very long time I have been looking around to help myself to move forward in understanding my thyroid disorder so I hope that this makes sense (especially to my two tutors)! I think there might or could be a link between my raised Ferritin and some family members including my mother who died in

Reducing cholesterol
I have lived with high cholesterol otherwise healthy. I am overweight with BMI of 31. I referred to lipid clinic and am advised to use statins. I do not want to go on statins. Any advice on best way to change diet and lifestyle would be great.

A footnote on Sjogren's Syndrome. While researching it yesterday, I came across another auto immune syndroms called Sicca's Syndrome. This syndrome actually causes the dry mouth, dry eyes behind Sjogren's. Listen carefully as I try hard to explain this. Those who have Sjogren's have Sicca too. It is

To take or not take Statins?
LDL-C 161, CT Calcium score 979, passed a stress test, no symptoms. My Cardiologist wants me to take 40mg Lipitor. From my research it seems the benefits of a statin are over stated and the potential problems understated. How can one find out if high choleterol is causing ones athrosclorosis. Many people

Lowering cholesterol
I am intolerant to statins, having tried 4 without success! My levels are creeping back up. I have a good diet, don’t drink or smoke. Has anyone had any success with plant sterols/stanols? Or anything else.

Statins and Alzheimers
After my bypass surgery in March 2015, I was given a statin drug specifically, Rosuvastatin, 10 mg per day. After several follow up meetings with my cardiologist he gradually increased this to 30 mg per day. Initially I didn't experience any side-effects but by the 6 month I began to experience severe
