That’s bloody brilliant!
I react badly with leg pain with the statins, so take plant sterols everyday instead. Another injection along with the monthly depot doesn’t entice me very much.
in science there seems to always be a touch of grey in every silver lining.
Heart disease is already very curable and treatable if you read literature (e.g. women don’t get heart disease normally but men do). It’s not cholesterol, it never was.
That’s utter rubbish.
Gender matters: Heart disease risk in women. Heart disease is the leading cause of death among women — and one of the most preventable. … Every year, coronary heart disease, the single biggest cause of death in the United States, claims women and men in nearly equal numbers, totaling about 500,000 lives.
I bet mental illness kills almost as many people as heart disease.
Every 40 seconds someone takes their own life
You misunderstood it. Hormone levels rapidly decline in aging women. I am talking about women with healthy hormonal levels, not menopausal women. It turns out lipoprotein(a) is what causes “cholesterol” plaque deposits in the arteries, not anything else. And estrogen reduces lipoprotein(a) release from the liver. This is the mechanism from which estrogen is cardioprotective, it protects against atheroschlerosis and may even potentially reverse it if the conditions are right (i.e. no vascular calcification, plaque deposits are not excessive, etc.).
Not only does estrogen reduce plaque deposits and potentially reverse it, it may also have potential protective effects against vascular calcification.
This has been studied extensively but due to the many conflicting explanations for what causes heart disease like atherosclerosis, it is not widely recognized.
However, since estrogen receptors cause an increased release of coagulative proteins from the liver, estrogen can increase the risk of having a stroke, although this is very easy to prevent using simple dietary supplements.
I know a great deal of people who’ve had success with reversing atheroschlerosis (permanently lowering blood pressure) using supplements that reduce lipoprotein(a) accumulation.
@NoEmotions it is difficult for me to have a discussion with you since you are cognitively doing great while
I have severe cognitive symptoms.
Then again, you don’t have schizophrenia( according to you you have schizotypal personality disorder) and I do have.
I see very little actual links to sources to the “proof” presented …so @everhopeful is the winner because he has the only link to anything in the whole thread… anyone can say anything about anything and make it seem like fact…this was a joke… so if you do present any further evidence I will not be looking into it…lol
I’ve recently got conscious that I probably have bigger chances of dying from a heart or circular system disease than from cancer. Thanks to vaping I’ve limited the number of smoked cigarettes to about 5 on a regular day. Unfortunately, I now weigh about 220 lbs, while being 1.90 m tall. I’ve gained over 20 lbs since December and for the first time in my life I have the first degree of being overweight. This month, Ive already started to eat healthy but I have a lack of movement and that’s why I want to buy a punching bag next week. I used to train muay thai when I was in my early 20s so I know what to do with it, but back then I never weighed more than 180 lbs. What have I become… I used to be really thin for most of my life 
I weigh slightly over 290 lbs and I am over 2 meters. Am doing fine, blood pressure and pulse, except I have reduced capacity for certain exercises like all tall people. Lots of tall people are doing absolutely fine. No need to worry about your weight unless it gets extremely large like 400lbs, it’s all exaggerated. As for losing weight, once you know the biology it’s simple, food goes in and food goes out.
This is also utter rubbish. If you are at increased risk for a stroke, do NOT try taking extra estrogen. There are no dietary supplements that can counteract that risk. And, like always, please don’t get your medical advice from strangers on the internet.
The article says it costs about 2,000 pounds per year in the UK… That means it’ll cost about $20,000 in the US because our companies are so greedy.
I wish I were old…
Shorter wait until death.
I want to rest in peace.
I learned in my biology of women class that women are at higher risk for cardiovascular disease and stroke than men.
This new cholesterol shot should save many lives preventing heart disease and stroke.
Bad cholesterol numbers kill people.
You probably didn’t understand what was meant. Stroke risk was increased by estrogen but all other cases of heart disease was significantly decreased. Women are not at risk of heart disease.
Tell me, what is the chance of getting a stroke if you don’t have arterial calcification or atherosclerosis? It’s almost zero unless you have a genetic disease with hypercoagulation. That’s why teenage girls don’t stroke out. So the extra clotting caused by estrogen receptor activation and their effects on liver excretion of clotting factors is meaningless when you don’t have any of the other issues.
What you are forgetting is that at menopause women stop producing estrogen. Nowadays people live longer, especially women so heart disease become much more likely later in life.
I think women and men are not completely equal when it comes to how often they develop cardiovascular diseases. But women tend to die more and develop more complications.
I don’t have a lot of big studies but this:
Being a woman, I wish your statement was true but it’s just not.
