The Clot Thickens: The enduring mystery of heart disease

However in practice, cholesterol and lipids only play a small role, and instead there are many other different factors. Probably most of us here had the same experience, loosing friends and family members over Covid and the vaccines. I was quite surprised how ugly those who were against getting a vaccine turned on the unvaccinated after they decided to get the jab to be able to “participate in the economy”, as our Premier says (we live in Victoria, Australia). I think this is because in a sense they “sold themselves” and did not feel good about, and since people do not get angry at themselves for too long, they turned that anger on the unvaccinated. Up the point “they [the unvaccinated] should not be admitted to a hospital, they deserve to die if they’re refusing to get vaccinated”. Hint, it is not cholesterol, or LDL, or LDL/cholesterol, or the good cholesterol/bad cholesterol ratio – or whichever term is in favour today. Congratulations Dr K looks a very interesting read,I’ll be busy decoding the big words for a while lol. Many of them do eventually, within the span of the studies, become insulin dependent. Quelle surprise. Sulfonylureas put the beta cells under similar excessive free-radical stress as does carbohydrate chronically in excess of individual tolerance causing type 2 diabetes. They die off slowly by apoptosis. Another unpopular notion (with MDs). But this is simply a fact. I have studied enough of the clinical evidence to state this with confidence. And it should not be surprising to anyone who understands much about the working of the beta cells.

In this week's episode, Elly sits down with her good friends William Shaw, the acclaimed author of the DS Alexandra Cupidi series and Dead Rich (written as G W Shaw) and Lesley Thomson, author of the Detective’s Daughter series and the standalone novel The Companion. In this episode the three friends dig into characters – how they appear, how they change over time and how to know when it’s time to say goodbye. Elly also answers fan questions about the last instalment in her beloved series, The Last Remains (but no spoilers if you haven’t read it!) I love the bathos of ending the list of risks with “Postcode”. All I need to do is find a house that doesn’t have a postcode and I’ll be right as rain. So, since there clearly aren’t enough of the types of podcast that I want to listen to out there, I figured that I have to start one of my own. Well, voila!

I admit I had somehow not realised that the significance of lp(a), is that it is so similar to LDL that it can be mistaken for LDL in analyses of plaques, but it performs a totally different function – being part of the clotting process no less. A fantastic book, clearly outlining in a humorous (but spot on) way that causes (and more importantly, the non causes) of cardiovascular disease ( CVD) This is not just cutting edge science about the causes but also a nice, easy to follow solution to help improve your health.

In the first scenario, the majority needs to be convinced that what the governments are doing is wrong and the governments will stop the Covid nonsense to win elections. It seems to me that as in Blade Runner where Tyrell is explaining to Roy the facts of life “The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long” is no idle boast. the only way people can get immunity to a cold/other virus/bacteria is by exposure. The slight exposure from someone else’s aerosol triggers an immune response. Aside 4 – for anyone who know my Dad, please remind him to clean the grass and mud out of the boot of my albeit I think he is taking it again on Tuesday as my 80’s Mum is taking their car to go shopping.

I like to wear a mask when i go shopping because, grumpy old misanthrope that I am, i’ve come to enjoy the anonymity it gives me. I tried wearing goggles too but they kept steaming up and i kept walking into the produce in the supermarket. The first point I want to make, then emphasize, then re-emphasize, is that there is no ‘ the’ cause of cardiovascular disease. By which I mean that there is not, and never has been, any one single factor that can be considered to be ‘the’ cause. Instead, there are many. They can work by themselves or combine with others. BUT, I eat very low carb, so it’s the saturated fat on my lamb chops (and some wine) that’s making me a bit porky.

While the tissue-insulting diet is (usually) everpresent, so is the elevated “injury”, manifested as an excessive rate of apoptosis of endothelial cells requiring repair/regeneration that keeps pace. If, for any reason at all, this pace is not kept, then there is progressive pathology. It is ironic that you discussed chronic stress as being a CVD factor and that people should take steps to reduce it if their circumstances permit. Change job, location, maybe relationships & so on. Also the importance of social networks. I was amazed that for a man of age 60, a systolic BP of 160 only reduces his life expectancy by 1.5 years compared to his having a systolic pressure of 120! If I started getting readings like that, I would have been screaming for an emergency ‘meeting’ with my GP. That figure puts the BP risks into a very different perspective! Below, for example, is a list of factors that are closely associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. It comes from the latest UK cardiovascular risk factor calculator, called Qrisk3, which you can see here https://qrisk.org/three/Hi Jan. Yes, it’s just like that with many recipes isn’t it? I have often been unable to resist finding out what happens if you do something other than they say. I think that most of the useful things I’ve learned about cooking have resulted from pure experimentation – not always successful but certainly enlightening.
