Cardiologists want me on 80 mg statins!

Dear Owen,

Thank you for your detailed response. I suspected that the Cardio-C manufacturer might have changed. Also, I should have figured out the difference in the scoop size: Having noted that the texture had changed, I should have realized that the density would also be different thus the need for a different sized scoop to obtain the same weight per scoop full.

I changed cardiologists 4 times during the past 4 years. They all wanted to increase my statin dosage to 80 mg. The last one tried Crestor on me which was the last straw for me. I quit statins completely and started taking Niacin ER 1000 mg twice a day and
Fenofibrate 54 mg also twice a day. Both of these are supposed to convert the bad small, dense LBL (pattern B) to the benign large, fluffy LDL (pattern A) and also to decrease Lp(a), another risk factor. I had a VAP (Vertical Auto Profile) blood test done by Atherotech Lab in Birmingham, AL, which measures the LDL sizes. I have succeeded in removing all Coronary Risk Factors by a large margin.

I do not know how much Cardio-C helped in my regimen. At my age of 75, I could not afford to follow the scientific method of introducing one item at a time to find cause and effect. I used the buckshot approach which was successful therefore I will be continued with it.

Most cardiologists appear to be brainwashed by the pharmaceuticals. Their assumption that patients will be saved by reducing their total LDL to 70 is not supported by facts. In the meta-analysis referenced below the records of 136,000 patients admitted to hospitals for CAD were examined. Half had total LDL values below 100 and half above 100. The normal scientific conclusion should have been that high total LDL might
not be causative to CAD. Instead these analysts started with the assumption based on faith that LDL is the cause and concluded that the target of 70 LDL might need to be lowered even more!

An interesting research sponsored by Texas Heart Institute concluded that statins*increase* the relative concentration of the bad small, dense LDL (aka pattern B) and *decrease* the relative concentration of the benign large, fluffy LDL (aka pattern A). The inconsistency is hereby resolved that statins are wonderful medicines...except that they do not decrease overall mortality.

Thank you again for your response.

Congratulations on your improvement. If Linus Pauling was right (as I believe he was) then the vitamin C (and lysine) contributed to that improvement. Glad you are off statins! Thanks for the links.

In the one study abstract it shows that half the people admitted for a heart attack had low levels of cholesterol. Isn’t it amazing that none of these studies measure cortisol or aldosterone levels. This would give a good hint as to where it might be going, during this time of stress. But their conclusion is that maybe they should set their targets lower because what they got now isn’t working and when people turn into babbling idiots unable to move or respond to stimulus and still have heart attacks what are they going to do then? So far I haven’t seen any study that has been able to identify or see the ever elusive LDL receptor that is alleged to lurk in the canals of the heart and sometimes sneaks into the legs of people causing these blockages of LDL cholesterol plaque. This is similar to my theory that high blood pressure in the coronary arterioles is the contributing factor in weaken coronary arterioles. This is what causes the plaque to form there. If you lower the blood pressure, the weaken arterioles can handle it and won’t crack and need repair. Keep lowering the pressure and you get a condition called death. Keep lowering your LDL first the brain goes then the endocrine system goes then you get the same results as lowering the blood pressure in the heart too much. Yes!! you get dead. The real solution has been given us by Doctor Pauling keep your pipes healthy and able to take the pressure then they won’t need to be patched and all that cholesterol can go to where it’s needed to fuel the body and brain. Rather then patching up hole’s in your pipes.
The body is a wonderful machine give it what it needs and it will heal and protect itself and keep on going. Don’t give it what it needs or take away something it needs to maintain itself and it will break without any help from the outside.
Have you ever discussed these studies with your doc? I’m sure their response was “Don’t believe everything you read on the internet!” I would respond, “Yea especially reading about the benefits of statins!” Then watch his face turn red!
Skip the statins, stick with Pauling therapy!!!
