If your Doctor doesn't ask about your diet, your sleep, and exercise, you don't have a Doctor, you have a drug dealer!

A patient cured is a customer lost.

Ty! As an RN working alongside MD’s over 30 yrs. I don’t blame docs for their initial ignorance but refusing or not being interested in updating your knowledge and evolving your care to what we understand now is negligent and harmful. Diabetes and heart disease treatments have not kept up with current knowledge.

It's refreshing to find a person with a purpose in life beyond power-grabs and self-enrichment

I'm a chemical engineer and this topic has a lot in common with piping system design.

I was in my 30's when a blood test showed high LDL cholesterol was and warned of a sudden death risk because of it. I'm 73 now still have high LDL and have NEVER used the statins they tried to push on me. I'd have to say that all this LDL scare is just wrong in many cases.

May More Physicians and healthcare workers follow in this man's footsteps🙏❤️

From a fellow physician and carnivore from across the pond, Bravo sir! This is the most complete, non-snarky, video explainer of the atherosclerotic process that I have seen to date. I only recently learned that the missing mechanistic piece to the whole explanation of atherosclerosis was turbulence caused by high blood pressure. I can understand that you didn't want to make the video too long so you left out some details but I would recommend in future videos you try to squeeze in a bit more info on the the vital importance of sdLDL (small dense LDL) and it's contribution to myocardial infarctions (heart attacks). To the uninitiated, in short: The simple hard plaque created by healthy LDL (lbLDL: large buoyant LDL) to repair the inflamed artery wall is NOT what causes the heart attack. It is caused by the accumulation of diseased LDL, the sdLDL, which forms a soft plaque (I describe it as a pimple) that buries itself in the artery wall, then eventually ruptures and causes mass clotting, thus blocking the blood flow and causing a heart attack. So it is, therefore, important to not get diseased LDL (sdLDL). The sdLDL occurs from glycosylated LDL (LDL damaged from carbs) and/or oxidized LDL (LDL damaged by the oxygenated blood but ALSO from seed oils such as corn oil, soybean oil, Canola, grapeseed oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil, margarine BUT NOT olive oil, coconut oil or avocado oil). You can reduce your sdLDL with saturated fats (ie. animal fats, coconut oil, palm oil, dairy fat, eggs) and Omega-3 fatty acids (which is commonly found in fish). THIS is why Dr Abs is safe on his carnivore diet. It should be noted that the majority of studies show that statin drugs INCREASE sdLDL! Also, sdLDL is not measured on the standard lipid panel, that's why the standard lipid panel is useless. Be careful when you research saturated fat because there are A LOT of unreferenced articles online that falsely claim that saturated fats are unhealthy and that they need to be reduced to decrease sdLDL levels.

My goodness, how many years did it take to finally hear this? About time we stop the nonsense.

What haven't they lied about. Keep you sick and make money.

Eating cholesterol doesn't cause high cholesterol any more than eating broccoli doesn't cause you to turn green

I am so glad someone finally brought this up because I always wondered how you could get artery plaque and not vein plaque makes no sense to me. The veins and capillaries are much smaller than arteries so it would make more sense for crap to get stuck there like blood clots. I have searched for this. I have asked so many people why we don’t get plaque in the veins why nobody talked about vein plaque only artery plaque. Nobody has any answers.

It’s in doctor’s best interest to lie and keep patients sick so they have a long term customer.

Absolutely first rate. If only there were a few more like this guy...

You deserve a wide following.🙏👏

What a genius ! Someone who explains in depth the actual mechanism. We have been wrongly prescribed and mislead for decades.

Finally a doctor who sees some sense.

Unstable calcification And inflammation is the real danger

Well put doctor. I've been looking into keto and carnivore... and practicing enough that my LDL is elevated. The medical "industry" here in the States got all excited, gave me profitable scans and tests... results, everything normal, no buildup, blood pressure normal... still, statins were encouraged from every source. I refused. I wish I could find a doctor like you...

To credit Cholesterol with arterial blockage is like blaming oxygen for the fire

Thank you for another informative, well-produced video Dr. Abs! You explain everything in terms that are easily understandable to those without a medical degree. I appreciate your logical, layman’s terms approach to otherwise complicated matters.

The best find was this Dr Abs . In you we trust your knowledge and honesty about subjects we know little about. That we should know enough to understand. Thank you so much. Everyone who also has found you have a blessed and safe day

In his book " The Clot Thickens" GP Malcom Kendrick makes the same point in depth. He notes that a vein used as a graft to replace an artery can in time develop plaques. It's an interesting read/listen - with an ironic sense of humour. It made me aware of other possible causes of atherosclerosis.

I'm not a doctor but I work in a place that has to do with flows and making sure you can maintain pipes and equipment with many different processes. Your explanation makes total sense and I don't see how doctors don't see it. If my system is creating excess pressure in some set of pipes and let's say out water treatment isn't up to snuff for the last few months, well there's more organic materials. The high pressure from the malfunction or operator error can stress your pipes, seals, etc then on top of it the organic material gets into the little damage parts and cause obstructions and more damage down the line. My field has nothing to do with medicine but physics and flows don't change.

Wow! A doctor who understands fluid dynamics. Only last week, really, i was trying to explain to my wife what i thought was causing arterial blockage. The example i used was snow fences. Those fences that are put several metres on the windward side of a road. This causes a low pressure area between the fence and the road where the snow is deposited before it gets to the road. Why was i explaining this? Because two years ago, i had a stent inserted in my circonflex artery in the left ventrical. The doctor showed me the before and after videos because he had already found out that i was a graduate engineer, and figured i would be interested. I was explaining to my wife that i believed i had had a constriction in the circonflex artery since birth and the mRNA COVID vaccine had produced inflamation in my heart muscle, myocarditis, that resulted in increased constriction of the circonflex artery, that then caused deposits due to the "snow fence effect" Between the 2nd COVID vaccine and me having the stent inserted was June to November 2021, during which i had at least seven heart attacks (myocardial infarction). I survived through my knowledge as an engineer of fluid dynamics and knowing what action to immediately take. The cardiologist was flummoxed by my explanation and my knowledge of the astable multivibrators that exist in the heart, or as cardiologists call them sinoatrial and ventricular nodes. As you say in the video The cardiologists must preach according to the medical gospel and are not permitted to consider alternative explanations from fear of being fired. Footnote. It's been many decades since i felt as good as i do today. I firmly believe that the stent not only fixed a COVID vaccine incident but also a birth defect that gave me pain in my heart when coping with heavy physical exertion from as early as i can remember. I have never had a cholesterol problem. I'm 77 years old. Thanks for publishing this video. It's good to know I am not alone in thinking that cholesterol is a victim, not a culprit. Edited Note to tallgrass9366. KZfaq doesn't support relies to replies, so please look for a new comment from me.

I’ve been following David Feldman and his cholesterol code and showing it to people who are taking meds. This is one more resource to show people !! Your channel is fire 🔥

This is a great watch. Explains the heart system in an easy to comprehend way & allows people to help themselves

Thanks for breaking it down in detail. I heard the same stuff before and no one tells you why or how it happens. I need to know why. Great job.

This is great stuff. About 10 years ago, I started to suspect that high carb intake might be a problem. Glad to begin to hear some docs have put this together.

Superb explanation. Love the darkened surroundings, which assists focus. Well done.

Linus Pauling noted that humans and a few mammals including guinea pigs do not produce ascorbic acid. Instead of ascorbic acid the human body substitutes very small dense LDL molecules to repair stress fractures. This causes inflammation and plaque buildup in these areas of repair. The " Pauling Protocol" includes daily ingestion of 4000+mg. ascorbic acid every three hours. Pauling also promoted use of the amino acids proline and lysine to remove existing arterial plaques.

Dr. Abs.....I just love you!❤

They pull licenses..from these Doctors if they do not follow prtocol of meds....from a Dr.'s answering service girl, hearing them going off about not wanting to give meds they did not believe in, for patients......🤔 One said; "Then pull it. I'll see them in court" yaaay. Was very happy one knew the whole situation, enough to go. I prayed for him a lot. Prayed for all of them.

Thanks for questioning the narrative of your education and showing a very simple question can completely change everything you were taught! Great content for and older man !! Thanks 🙏 👍👍

Dr. Abs.... thank you for sharing that you explained all of this to other doctors and that THEY JUST STARED AT YOU BLANKLY!!!!!! This happens to me ALL THE TIME, when I've figured out something I've thought about for a long time and share it with someone else: BLANK STARES. And when I probe, people want to CHANGE THE SUBJECT. No one, it would seem, WANTS TO THINK or discuss anything. It is very very very lonely.

I stopped eating processed foods, canned foods and sugar and switch to animal products and I avoid all vegetable,canola oil and seed oils, my inflammation and high blood pressure magically disappeared,I told my cardiologist and he told me I was going to get cholesterol and all of these health problems and non of the issues he told me I’d have occurred actually the opposite happened! My peri menopause belly magically disappeared and my fine lines and wrinkles look smoother and I have a lot more energy too! We’re being lied to by Drs

Absolutely BRILLIANT! Subscribed straight away.

I love your honesty ❤

Great information, I have been following you for a week and love your videos. Thank you

I can’t say enough, good things about this video and the guy in it. I am so happy to have stumbled upon this video with such an intelligent professional.. It is so hard to find real people like this guys I’m telling you this guy is the truth ! The way he explains and breaks things down and that everything he is telling you is 100% accurate!!! thank you for everything you are doing is fantastic

I love asking people who say dietary cholesterol is bad, how does dietary cause the problems claimed, what parts of the body need cholesterol, and what is the risks that come with lower cholesterol.

Pressure on the artery walls is called static pressure!!! When the blood is flowing properly, it’s called velocity

The best talk on the web about CVD.

This is fantastic! Subscribed and going to share it as much as could God willing.

I just came across your channel through the video about moisturiser and HA. I have never heard it explained like that before. I'm going to try going without it! Your content looks really interesting I'm glad I came across it 😄

I don’t like meat, just don’t like the taste. I love salmon and fish though! I follow a mostly vegetable and fish diet, yogurt, no sugar no processed junk.

Wow, I have been looking for this explanation. Thanks

He is so good in explaining it all!! Thank you!

Cholesterol is good for the brain and joints in fact our whole body, big Phama tells us it’s bad for us when in fact quite the opposite, and tell people to take statins which is bad for you as it eats away muscle, we are just a commodity where big Phama is concerned, a patient cured is a patient lost and not producing fat profits for Phama. You are a light being doing good work for the benefit of mankind pity there’s not more of you.

I had to tell my doctor I would not take statins until after a CAS. She had no idea that was a next step. Took me weeks to get it done… and sure enough I do not need statins. I’m amazed at how doctors really think the nutritional advice they give - works. Their own health is in the toilet most of the time. I’m on my 8th year of eating properly - I changed the course of my middle age by going against my doctor’s advice on how and what to eat. In sum. We’re not supposed to get fat, sick and exhausted as we age and carbs are killing us.

You are right. But having suffered to heart attacks myself, I can tell you that LDL cholesterol plus arterial inflammatory disease plus high blood pressure does the trick. Controlling for each of these is really important and it kept me alive and kicking for 12 years since my second MI. But to do that, you have to have a strict regimen of what I call MED. Medication, exercise, and diet.

Hands down the best explanation .

Well that was actually very clear and helpful…. I sort of got it from others…. But this is the best explanation Ive seen.

Thanks for the info Dr. Abs

Oh hi! This is my episode. I’m the one with high cholesterol and no plaque in my heart. Healthy looking heart.. terrible lab number. Weird.

Wonderful and informative, thank you!

Very informative and clearly presented!

So Nicely explained. Thank you.

Dr abs, even I love your knowledge ❤

I TRUST this doctor!!

Your channel is simply fabulous 👌 👏 👍

Again !!!! Diet is everything!! Please watch your carbs, exercise, plenty of sleep. This Doctor explains it so well, I have friends on Statin, all it does is gives them the OK to continue to eat the way they choose reasons why they are on statin 😔

This logic seems to be complete and correct and there should be international recognition of this explanation .

Hello Dr Abs, please do a Detailed video on Damaged skin barrier repairing🙏🙈❤️

Thank you Dr. Your breath of knowledge is incredible ! Please consider addressing LPa. I’ve had 4 CVE, 9 blockages and no damage to my heart. On PCNK9, trying to address naturally also. Not much hope for us.

Very impressive thank you Must show this to my cardiologist

Great explanation!!! Thanks.

Excellent logic. Stress both biotic and abiotic contribute to the plaque formation. Abiotic stress like pressure on the vessel truly initiates the process.

Thank you for explaining this!

I saw an explanation very similar to this a few years ago and it made perfect sense to me.

Finally. You are absolutely correct. I was diagnosed with heart disease and had a triple bi-pass done. All my doctors continually pushed was statin statin statin. My initial resistance was the negativity around side affects which are certainly valid. I felt helpless but decided to take on the challenge myself. Without going through the entire process I came to a place where things are stable. I learned your stated fact that the plague only resided in the arteries. My conclusion was blood pressure and damage from the pumping action. I was pumping up my bicycle tire one day with a hand pump. After a couple of minute I could feel the body of the pump cylinder getting hot. This was my aha moment. Even with this theory I was still having episodes of some chest discomfort and I watch a video talking about the bodies over reaction the the inflammation from this stress. The person in the video stated a possible case for small dose statin and to my surprise a 10 milligram dose has got me stable with no symptoms. I'm not advocating this, it just a cause and effect to which works for me but I'm still learning with myself as the genie pig. Other drugs that were prescribed along with the statin were blood thinners (Elequis) and a blood pressure med (Metoprolol). At one point I had AFIB and that was under control with that drug. I was feelin dizzy and went to the hospital one day and told the doctor about the AFIB and he looked at the scanner and said I see perfect sinus rhythm and said to stop the metro. With my hypothesise of the air pump I decided to take half to maintain a lower pressure score. This is where I am at this point. I don't like taking the blood thinners though and have been experimenting with some natural anti thrombotic products. Nattokinase and Serrapeptase. I would love to hear your opinion on those as they may or may not be helping. Love to hear from you. You have a follower.

Thank you for this "heads up".

My new favorite channel.

Very nice explanation, thanks :)

Very informative; thank you.

WOW! Great video. Informative and quite beautiful to watch. This is such a hot topic right now. I get that LDL isn't the "kiss of death" we were led to believe, but the one thing nobody that I've come across, talks about is what if you have high sdLDL. Like 1930 nmol/L? Triglycerides down, HDL up. That's a topic I'd like to see.

Very succinct explanation.

Very interesting and logical explanation how artheroslerosis is formed.

Excellent video! Extremely informative. My LDL just came back “high” and my coronary artery CT scan was 0. The doctor started talking about statins because of my LDL. I asked her how is it that my LDL is high and my coronary arteries are perfectly clear and my bp is 110/70 and you think there is a problem that requires medication? No answer.

Bart Kay has also commented on exactly this sequence of events leading to atherosclerosis. It beggars belief that so many doctors choose to ignore the bleeding obvious.

We need more doctors like you sir.

So this is why my doctor tells me that she isn’t worried about my higher “bad” cholesterol (245). She knows what I eat. I don’t have high blood pressure, I have good levels of “good” cholesterol and I get plenty of exercise. I just wish more physicians would explain this to their patients. Thank you for your in depth explanation.

Thanks for the much needed information ❤. Can u please make a video on treatment of stretch marks plzzz

Great explanation! So this goes right in line with insulin resistance actually causing atherosclerosis and not LDL. Been taking a deep dive into the literature after my husband had a heart attack at 52 with 99% blockage. He won't listen to me to eliminate carbohydrates and alcohol to stop any further damage. Thank you

He who tells the truth needs a fast horse.... Nevertheless on the long run the truth will set us free. Thank you for the interesting information and your profound knowledge. I appreciate you thinking out of the box. It is time for change. Greetings from Germany

I am a retired architect but confused by your explanation of the mechanics of particle invasion. "HIGH pressure causes gaps in the endothelial lining, but the turbulence in the areas at or near vectors of larger arteries have LOW pressure turbulence allowing the particles to enter into the gaps"?. What am I missing or misunderstanding? I completely agree with your main ideas about cholesterol and that the damage is in the arteries. It's just the mechanics of pressure that don't make sense to me. Also I'm of the opinion that blood viscosity is a huge player in the endothelial damage process. And yes, Its all about pushing statins.

Your spot on Fluid flow disruption with contact is called Skin friction Insulin Resistance also changes LDL to HDL causing more damage sights increase the risk ?

Dr please talk about oxylates, in my pharmacy the amount of people with UTIs which I've narrowed down to eating alot of raw spinach smoothies is nuts, would love to know your take on this

I wish I live in England to see you in person! ❤

Great video Dr. Abs. Been telling patients this for years. Cholesterol is only a small proportion for atherosclerosis risk, despite what the drug companies would tell us.

Dang! Thank you! I’m an LMHR with high ldl, high HDl and low triglycerides…I will not eat carbs to fix this…I’m healthy..

As a plumber this makes a lot of sense this is how a heating system

Great video, I agree with everything you stated, diet included

Dr.,thank you. I wanted to add these low pressure areas are precisely where gold falls out during flood season..one practice is to study a high water mark line..and judge/test where the torroidal flow would 'drop' the desired mineral..sorry this just amazed me...the similarities of the physics at all scale

Congratulations- a thoroughly sound and informative video of someone who has high LDL. I eat lots of natural fats so I expect that. As we get older it seems we need the benefits of the repair capacity of LDL to Maintain overall good health. I’m 67 btw with a metabolic age of 52 and people regularly think I’m 10% younger. Tried statins - didn’t get on with the muscle cramps thanks.. I tend to do my own research and follow the science in this. I save these videos to a Playlist. One which my GP would not be interested in 🤷🏻

In the '80s when my dad was recovering from bypass surgery I asked his doctor if the arteries in the heart plug up then why don't the arteries in his ankle plug? He wasn't sure but he guessed it's because the heart exerts itself so often. I replied by asking so exercise causes plaque buildup? He changed the subject. If I was at a fireman's ball and I asked how can I prevent fires I would think that the fireman would be willing to hold a conversation but in this case no. It didn't bode well for those who devote their life to educating themselves on wellness and their understanding of cholesterol doesn't look good now

My doctor wanted to refer me to a statin clinic I kindly declined, looking for alternative therapies. Thank you for this information.

I’m speechless 😮… mind blowing truth expose. Salute to @dr. Abs

Well presented, easy to understand logic when it's presented in a simple way, and you didn't even mention Ansell Keys, the Dr who was paid by big pharma in the 50's to do the 7 country study (which was actually 20 countries but he cherry picked the worse for his study) Thank you.
