I'm a 65 year old woman. I put myself on the diet back in November of last year and I have lost 80 lb so far I have my cholesterol is normal my LDL is only a few points away from being normal all I did was stop eating all fast food, all junk food. I have eliminated my sugar 90%. And I have lowered my carbs to only eating 10% of carbohydrates. I eat a lot of fruits a lot of vegetables, and I limit my meat intake as well. I eat a lot of eggs cheese I take good care of myself I'm not very mobile so I don't exercise a lot but it can be done with diet and you don't have to do it with drugs. My doctor wanted to put me on a Statin and I said no I'll be glad to do it with diet she didn't think I could do it and I proved her wrong so all you fat people out there or even the thin ones stop eating junk food stop eating sweets and sugar lower the carbohydrates and you won't have a problem

Now 76 years old. I had a cardiologist that was adamant that I should go on Statins. He prescribed a high-dose statin. I had some troubling symptoms (leg pain, "brain fog", etc.) but he was unchanging. I went to another cardiologist who stated that a low dose statin might give less side-effect issues but provide some anti-inflammation benefits. I tried that one. The leg pain was resolved, but the brain fog - while reduced - remained (if I wanted to call the car dealer to set up a service appointment, I had to open the website, write the number down on a piece of paper, and then enter the number on my phone -- I couldn't remember a phone number for 20 seconds.) I discussed this with the second cardiologist and he agreed to take me off the statin, prescribed "ezitimibe" (spelling???), and agreed a series of monitoring visits. Within 6-8 weeks, all the statin side effects were gone. My triglycerides are approx. 70, and HDL and LDL numbers are OK -- not great, but OK. You can find a doc who is reasonable about statins, if one isn't willing to work with you, walk out.

It's not just approved by the FDA. It has shown amazing effectiveness AND safety for atherosclerosis by at least two large, long term studies and a number of smaller ones. It's NOT being pushed by Pharma because it is a old drug. It's just shown to be so effective, the FDA couldn't ignore it. Don't like meds? Don't take them. I wonder in a large scientific study, what the percentage would be in reducing heart attacks for heart patients would be on diet alone..... ot even with exercise added. 31% drop is a pretty high bar if you ask me.

If the risk-lowering benefits of colchicine as quoted by Dr. Cywes (from the study) are 31% and 23%, we would want to know whether those are "relative" risk values or "absolute" risk values. Many of us are familiar with the way statins were promoted because they lowered your risk of an event by 36%. But that was a calculated "relative" risk number. The actual "absolute" risk reduction was about 1% or 2%, as Dr. David Diamond has eloquently illustrated in his KZfaq videos.

@Malcolm-Achtman Ай бұрын

@@Xzyu2 Not sure what you mean by having an effect. Statins will certainly lower a person's total cholesterol and LDL-C values quite rapidly. If you are referring to side effects, such as muscle pain and weakness, that too can occur quite quickly with some people. If you are referring to memory loss, that could take years to show up (although sometimes it's sooner). If you are referring to increased arterial calcification from a statin, that effect would take more time. If you are referring to a person hitting himself or herself on the head and exclaiming, "You dummy, what were you thinking?" after going on a statin, that effect could take years for some people.

@@robertcywes2966 So you are saying the 31% and 23% reductions are "absolute" risk. I suppose I could verify that for myself by closely reading the study but in all honesty, I can't be bothered.

@billandpech Ай бұрын

BINGO!!! Also, I'm certain that treatment though a ketogenic diet like Carnivore has over a 20% absolute be risk and is 80% effective in eliminating soft plaque. Carnivore often increases cholesterol, but other videos explain why that's not a large concern while on the diet.

Me too. I am now 60 with a history of chronic severe gout and high uric acid first diagnosed at age 24. I was taking allopurinol at the maximum daily dose (800 mg/day) and gout had become refractory (no longer responding to treatment). At age 55 started a low carb diet for reasons I thought had no relationship to gout (pre-diabetes). 30 year history of chronic severe gout immediately went into remission when I started the low carb diet. Over the course of several months I weaned myself off allopurinol with no gout flares. I am now 5 years gout free and 4 years OMAD. I started a very low carb ketovore diet about 2 years ago. I had a CAC scan 6 months ago with a plaque score of 181. PCP freaked out and wanted to put me on high dose statin in response to 181 CAC score. Odd thing is, the PCP only prescribed the CAC test at my insistence. He claimed it was of no value and insurance would not pay for it. Prior to the CAC test results, he was 100% comfortable with my lipid blood work, which showed 121 LDL, 90 HDL, and 37 Triglycerides. NMR lipoprofile is very good with a LP-IR Insulin Resistance score

@@petertownsend252 It is recognized that endurance athletes (like you) sometimes build calcified arterial plaque. Probably a response to prolonged physical stress. A statin won't help you. Easing up on your exertion might be something to consider (in my opinion). Also, Dr. Al Sears talks a lot about the harm of prolonged cardio exertion in his excellent 2010 book entitled, "P.A.C.E. The 12-minute Fitness Revolution." He explains why short bursts of exercise are superior and safer for you. When I was your age my CAC score was 479. I remember when I went for the test I was told that a runner had just got his CAC score done the day before and it was very high. I remember thinking, wow if an athlete has a high score, I wonder what mine will be? Turns out endurance running may have been his problem (if you believe Dr. Al Sears and other sources that have described the cardiovascular risks associated with long, cardio activity).

With a CAC score of 0 and a reduction of small particle LDL from 2400 to 1400 after doing carnivore for a year, I told him I’d rather stay off the meds and he agreed.

I need to watch this series but the doc had put me on statins I refused but the ldl was slightly high (134 to 165). I agreed to take Ezetimibe and that is when my anxiety and ptsd kicked in. I am a veteran and it was a good thing. I went back to Simvatin crap. I don’t think I need it but until have cac, I feel stuck. I am afraid not to be on it.

Dr Cywes, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge regarding Colchicine as an alternative to statins. I had terrible leg pain and stop taking Crestor. Subsequently my cardiologist presented Lipitor instead. I decided not to take that either. My calcium score is 400 with 140 in the LAD. My cholesterol ratio is good. Tim

My primary doctor has taken me off Tactus because off the side-effects. I will be seeing a dietician on the 16 th July 2024. He did not argue he quietly said I am sending you a dietician. I have a raised Ldl colestrol and I am glucose intolerant. I think because of Tim Noakes some of the medical community here are aware of the abuse of statins. I live in Cape Town, South Africa.

you are the goat, seriously :))) very reliable information in all episodes. And this one is very exciting, not because of the CVD though. as a biologist interested in pharmaclogy of plants i know the compound well, of course. I am absolutely amazed that colchicin is appearing here. Even moer that it got approved by the FDA for CVD, or gout. The interesting thing is that colchicine is known for arresting the cell cycle in a late stage. This is not dose dependent. Such i would epect it to appear as an anti-cancer drug. Yet, the use as an inflammatory drug is interesting with its background. any idea how those properties could be reconciled? Is it addressing SASP??? And why was not it used for patients with covid crisis??? question over questions....

I am confused....if the calcification is the bodies fix for damages from smoking and a high carbohydrate diet. Why take a drug to keep the body from making the layers of cells that is considered as plaque. As if it was a bad thing. My way of thinking is to change your diet to a high fat meat based diet. Stay on it and have the doctor keep an eye on your CAC.( Apo a) I read is the marker for inflammation and damages.

@@donnabosserman6090 Cywes emphasized that nutrition is the first line of action. Colchicine is reducing inflammation, preventing overactivation of the immune system, such stabilizing existing plaques. Just to prevent a catastrophic failure/rupture. And, CAC score measures the calcified ones, which does NOT mean that you would without soft plaques and a lot or injuries. For that measure the LP(a)

I just saw a cardiologist today for a plaque they found in the winemaker vein. It’s very small but may require a stint. Talked to doc about this option, he likes the studies and said we may use it in the future but going to start with a statin. I have not heard much on KZfaq about what the good part of statins do. As he explained , it basically helps reduce soft plaques by stabilizing them into calcium. I did not know this part of the story. Also he agrees new studies show no difference in amount of ldl particles in people that get heart attacks but all groups lie to high ldl have 30% less in death rates. So if there are side effects on the statin he is open to this option. I’m on baby aspirin and BP meds now.

High LDL and ApoB have proven time and again that they causes heart disease. If Colchicine treats inflammation, you don't want to ignore your lipid levels by not taking a lipid lowering medication. Yes it's true inflammation is an issue that needs to be treated but you can develop heart disease or ASCVD just by high LDL and ApoB on their own. Maybe taking both is the way to go but to forgo statins may be a reckless move. By the way, statins are an anti-inflammatory and they also stabilize plaques. And yes $ is a driving factor for statins but if Colchicine gets popular then that too will make pharma their $ as well.
