Stress hormones are important in plaque formation and are symptomatic of our lifestyles which are inflicted on us by politicians.

Thank you so much for this, very interesting! What about vitamin K2 supplementation in order to reverse calcification of plaque?

Would vitamin K2 supplementation help with the calcified arteries? Or would that just help keep it from getting worse?

The k2 studies do show it going down for some people. Fasting will also do it if you do it long enough, but the people who need it most will have the most issue.

How’s bout complimentary arteries I grew some in my leg I’ve seen the angiogram pitcures the surgeon said “ you didn’t have these before” it took 2 years if I can do it you can do it also

Wonder if resevetrol and nad+ the anti aging molecules have any role in reversing plaque

Excellent questions and answers!

If below 80 is a target and below 60 is another target, what's the minimum level of LDL-C which is compatible with life? What are the corresponding ABO-B and Lp(a) levels for LDL-C at 80 & 60 and this other level?

D3 (10,000 u) with K 2, mk7( 300 mg) brought my ccs down from 5550 to 27💖💖💖

What about lowering insulin that causes damage/cracking to the a arteries, which the dense LDL fills? The fluffy LDL is good and should NOT be reduced and statins impact only the fluffy LDL, not the small dense LDL. Insulin is the culprit NOT LDL.

Thank you doctors for this important segment. Learned a lot

Very informative. Thanks!

I cannot tolerate statins or the newer injections after the insertion of a stent after a weird heart attack with no pain Massive stress precipitated the attack. We need more research on other factors causing calcification of arteries and it’s reversal. Drug companies are fixated on cholesterol. This has to change.

LDL doesn't equal plaque. Inflammation and a lack of LDL reuptake causes it. Why are you people still banging on about a thoroughly debunked theory?

VERY HELPFUL..EASY TO UNDERSTAND.

UPDATE; I lowered my bad cholesterol to 55 trough a better diet. I am on 20mg Pravastatin too. Thanks for the advice.

What about IV chelation?

MY LDL was 45 on my last test. I hope that helps.

I think the takeaway here is like the Dr said you cant make your skin look like you're 20 when you're 50 or 60 or your hair like it was when you were 20. Some new age people seem to think otherwise😂 The statement about stress is important not only for our own wellbeing but of those around us as well

You can remove all plaque through prolonged starvation, but having the willpower to do it is rare. This was discovered when people trapped in war zones during WW2 had to survive on little to no food.

Can we experience regression with the process of autophagy?

Not with me but my body has grown new arteries to the area that needed more blood specially in my foot and I believe in other places in my body too however I only have the ateriogram from my vascular surgeon of my legs leg as proof I am now trying the same thing in my heart . It took about 2 years of walking miles and miles and other exercise to accomplish the growth in my leg am exploring ways for others you can do it too when I first started walking my foot went numb but I went on then I took a job that required walking 7;000 steps a day or more that was forced on me as requirements for employment it worked I am happy to say

save you 8 minutes = yes

INFLAMMATION !!!!!! Stop yacking about LDL cholesterol !!!! .. eat foods and lifestyle that reduce inflammation

EDTA orally works

Supposedly kyolic aged garlic extract or aged black garlic helps with coronary artery disease.

Found 4 blockages 6 weeks ago including a moderate one in my LAD. My blood flow in that artery is .81 - they often stent under .8 (FFR) Started the esselstyn diet and 40mg atorvastatin. No fats - just an omega 3 every day and ground flaxseed and chia added to my 2 bowls of oats (raw) with soya milk every day. My cholesterol has gone from 6.6 to 4.1 - my LDL has gone from 3.2 to 1.6 - my triglycerides are still high but I need to lose another 6kg and I’m sure they’ll come down. only symptoms were occasional lightheadedness which have now disappeared. I am convinced that the raw oats have helped me drop my cholesterol this quickly.

All old Statin studies were paid by pharma. New studies show statins do very little. Diet is more important. Stress is important to reduce.

Excellent information. I just has stents placed in my LAD and Right Ventricle. I understand how important diet is. The Statin has lowered my LDL from 100 to 70, along with diet, in just 6 months.

Search Dr Essey.

i think INCLISIRAN (already avail) AND TRODUSQUIMINE (still at trial) along with blood pressure injections (still at trial) would revolutionize arterial disease soon

Please use MORINGA powder 1 tsp a day then after i week 2 tsp a day. MAY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WILL HELP YOU.

I must be a one off then. 50 year vegetarian, meditated for 45 years. In 2017 my CAC score was 107, cholesterol was 216, LDL 157. So I took atorvastatin for 2 years. 2019 new CAC score was 193, cholesterol was 117, LDL 71. Stopped the statin. Took K2, D3, magnesium for 2 years. 2021 CAC score was 164 (radiologist noted improvement), cholesterol 249, LDL 182. Nevertheless I'm taking one tablespoon of sunflower lecithin. It lowered cholesterol 30 points in a few months. Next CAC scan will be July 2023. (LAD artery scores, 30, 99, 75 in those three scans two years apart.) EDIT: LECITHIN LOWERED MY CHOLESTEROL TO 199 BUT MY CAC SCORE INCREASED TO 297. No more lecithin for me.

Dr. Kopecky seems to be discouraging people from believing that heart disease can be reversed by food, live style changes and seems focused on cholesterol and statins until pressed to talk about diet, stress, live style change by Dr. Lopez Jimenez.

I'm stressed knowing that stress causes heart disease

Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar…

Dear Doctor, I am from India. So far I have been free of any symptoms. I have a positive family history (mother had a stroke and died 30 years ago when I was a child), father was free of any cardiovascular symptoms and died in 2020. I am probably a carrier of the 9p21.3 region gene associated with CAD and premature CAD which is common in an Asian Indian population. Your advice will be greatly appreciated.

I had an angiography 2 weeks ago Coronary angiography: Left main stem unobstructed. Left coronary artery: 70% stenosis of prox. RIVA, 50% stenosis of prox. RIM. 70% stenosis of LCX - Proximal. 70% stenosis of Mid.LCX Right coronary artery: 80% stenosis of dist. RCA. 70% stenosis of med RCA. Diagnoses: 1. coronary triple barrel disease. - Coronary angiography elective with diagnosis of CHD on cardiac CT on 13.07.2023: - Sign. proximal RIVA stenosis. - RCX with long wall changes and sign. Stenoses proximal and in the middle section - RIM with intermediate stenosis proximally - RCA diffuse wall-angulated with sign. Stenoses proximal and distal - Lavographically normal LVEF. no reg. motility impulses - Cardiac CT in advance (Chur) with electrically path. Ergometry: diagnosis of CHD, Ca-score >1000 - CyRF: Art. Hypertension Assessment: The 47-year-old patient is found to have quite advanced coronary three-vessel disease for his age with significant stenoses in the proximal RIVA, RCX and RCA. Stenoses in the proximal RIVA, RCX and RCA. The vessels have diffuse wall changes, but the connecting segments for an ACBP would be relatively small. The LVEF is normal. I discussed the findings with the patient at length and told him that the findings were not suitable for percutaneous revascularization. With the patient completely symptom-free, we decided to perform a cardiac MRI with a question about the extent of ischaemia. Then we discussed ACBP vs. drug therapy. In addition to the established medication, I prescribed atorvastatin and bisoprolol. Thank you

I need to divorce cheese

We have to be reasonable, and listen to people who know nothing about nutrition and fitness.

Sugar and startches are to blame

Oatmeal, oat bran and high-fiber foods Oatmeal contains soluble fiber, which reduces your low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the "bad" cholesterol. Soluble fiber is also found in such foods as kidney beans, Brussels sprouts, apples and pears. Soluble fiber can reduce the absorption of cholesterol into your bloodstream. Five to 10 grams or more of soluble fiber a day decreases your LDL cholesterol. One serving of a breakfast cereal with oatmeal or oat bran provides 3 to 4 grams of fiber. If you add fruit, such as a banana or berries, you'll get even more fiber. Fish and omega-3 fatty acids Fatty fish has high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which can reduce your triglycerides - a type of fat found in blood - as well as reduce your blood pressure and risk of developing blood clots. In people who have already had heart attacks, omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of sudden death. Omega-3 fatty acids don't affect LDL cholesterol levels. But because of those acids' other heart benefits, the American Heart Association recommends eating at least two servings of fish a week. Baking or grilling the fish avoids adding unhealthy fats. The highest levels of omega-3 fatty acids are in: Mackerel Herring Tuna Salmon Trout Foods such as walnuts, flaxseed and canola oil also have small amounts of omega-3 fatty acids.

Outdated information. Some correct info but they are dancing around real therapies such as Keto diet, Vitamin K2; Tocotrienols; Omega 3; etc... to the point of being dangerous.

Many modern cardiologists are not using statins, because they almost do nothing.

Scurvy = No vitamin C in your diet. Symptom: Your blood vessels break and you bleed to death. Think of the sailor of the past. Scurvy of the heart = Just enough vitamin C from food. Symptom: Arteries around the heart are not strong enough to resist high blood pressure. Damage is repaired with cholesterol to prevent worse. After years of repair, your arteries become clogged. Enough vitamin C supplement of at least 3000 mg. per day gives strong and flexible arteries. Cholesterol is not needed as a repair agent. Cholesterol in your coronary arteries is broken down and burned in your liver. Source: Cardiovascular disease and vitamine C (Dr. Rath Foundation)

I believe stress is increasing for all of us and will continue to do so in this Fourth Industrial revolution as the World Economic Forum calls it! All by design? Perhaps 🤔 After all they do want to reduce the population!

cAN REGRESSION?

I'm loving it. The only way to lower LDL this much is through the use of drugs. I know plenty of people who took statins, and raised their cac score. Stay confused.

Yes with atherocare you can clear plaque from your arteries

Statins have tons of negative side effects! I say no way to statins.

thank you, for me its probably stress. i have low tryglicerides, low hdl, low blood pressure, no diabetes, however, ldl is on the rise to be more than in the frame of normal. i also pedal daily for 30 to 45 minutes. im on vegan diet 98%, i compensate for omega3 with capsules, chia seeds and nuts. and the damn ldl is not gping down. but i have stress and i think this is the problemo

statins suck. when you recommend them you lose creditability

Yes. Stop eating processed sugar...

Another Statin produced video. I am in medical school. We actually studied and looked over the trails of Statins. They don’t reduce cardiac events. The difference in the thousands during the trails were not significant to even say they work. They will lower cholesterol which you need. But the other side effects cause more conditions down the road that require additional medication. It comes down to the process foods and carbohydrates. They caused the problems today.

Chelation.

Statins aren't the answer, look more at quitting sugars, grains, and beans. Don't look at cholesterol. you have to have good HDL and good low triglycerides. we need more animal proteins.

Carnivore cured

dont support any channei where they dont respond to some questions

Quack.

talking about statins just killed the video....

Quit eating sugar

😂😂😂😂

they're both out of shape

Who is telling the truth? What are the conflict of interest of this doctor?

Stay away from Saturated fats and sugar, that's the key. Eat Oatmeal Whole grain bread Avocado Peanut butter w, the only ingredient of peanut and salt maybe, nothing else. Certain nuts, Google them. No cheese, only a little mozzarella and there are a few other options. Rice cakes, check sugar. Red delicious apples are the best ones, some of the other apple's aren't the better ones. sweet potatoes, just oven bake ,so good. No fat butter limit coffee intake🫤 broccoli and coli flower 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌S Baked chicken only, never fried. no red meat🧐 Almond milk there are so many ways to lower cholesterol and tryglicerides and numbers if we only advocate for ourselves, eat better, fast, good luck . Have fun 😊✌️

New plaque seems to be reversible, but old plaque that has been calcified, is not so easy. That said apparently nano tubes might be the wonder drug. They seem to clear out the plaque leaving a calcified shell. Just need something to remove that shell, and then one step closer to eternal life.
