Loading ...Thanks for that info! I have long followed the research of the Life Extension Foundation that funds research with their supplement sales. It has long been known that ‘Inflammation’ is a key basic function that expands into various disease functions later, so controlling inflammation is the focus of staying alive longer and pain free.
Cholesterol numbers are a red herring promulgated by statin-funded research. The problem is NOT “how high your cholesterol numbers are”… the problem IS “What makes cholesterol stick to your arteries??” The answer to THAT question is… ‘inflammation and the stress hormone Homocysteine ‘
If an artery is injured or showing stress oxidation and cracking, it releases homocysteine which attracts cholesterol to the site to act as a patch, or band-aid to the injured area. So first keep your arteries healthy and flexible with vitamin C antiOxidant, and vitamine K for healthy, flexible arteries.
Everyday stress of all kinds releases homocysteine into the bloodstream, so stress also causes arterial plaques all over the place. Homocysteine levels can be lowered with intelligent supplementation, like TriMethyl Glycine (TMG).
Cholesterol is produced in the liver, and is mainly used by the body as an energy carrier. Muscles burn cholesterol. So chemically warping your liver with Statins is not the best thing for your body. Sore joints and lack of energy are the major effects of statins, and they do not significantly lower heart attack risks.. despite the pharma-funded ‘research’ that is bought and paid for.
Lowering inflammation in the body is a goal of much supplemental research, and probably the best thing one can do to extend one’s life.
I am not a doctor, and this is not medical advice. Just the research I have read.
