My uncle had a heart attack the other week and still has shortness of breath and pains. I know you cant stop nature and the inevitable but is there anything that can help? I read k2 and taurine can help. Hes on drugs to try and decalcify so im not sure if they will interact. I think taurine cant be taken with blood pressure meds

You should be talking to a pharmacist about this instead of asking an anime forum
He hes been to hospital, seen a few doctors and also has a cardiologist too. Just wanted some esoteric opinions
Wow so insightful i wish i thought of that
lifestyle changes should be a priority. theyre the most effective way to prevent and treat diseases, but also the hardest to get a patient to do
exercise (cardio + weightlifting)
stop drinking and smoking
sleep proper hours and manage stress
manage your weight properly and shave alot of pounds (probably the most important)
manage your sodium and fluid intake
Thats all I can think off in the back of my head. chronic Hypertension isnt a joke, and your uncle should change his lifestyle soon if he wants to enjoy his life.
Only thing I've heard worked are prolonged fasting. I've heard they have disected blood vessels from russian soldiers in the 2nd world war and because of the prolonged hunger they had practically no signs of atherosclerosis. Medication barely works.
Multi day fasting? Thats interesting ill tey and find the study i dont suppose you have the name?
nah sorry. I even asked my pathology professor if this is true. he reccommended veganism as an alternative.
NTA but i just looked up "fasting and atherosclerosis" on google. Read the abstract for a quick summary of results.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8517704/#:~:text=Intermittent%20Fasting%20Lowers%20Cholesterol%20Levels,not%20affected%20(Figure%204).
They had no arherosclerosis because they were all around 20 years old. Furthermore, there was no famine amongst soviet soldiers, it was the Wehrmacht that suffered.
>They had no arherosclerosis because they were all around 20 years old.
atherosclerosis starts at birth.
> it was the Wehrmacht that suffered
might have been the germans that disected. I'm literally remembering info from years ago.
very interesting anon
are you a doctor
no im studying to be a physio.
Milk, raw eggs, marijuana
Thank me later
Also oatmeal
Also I spit on all uncles I hope he dies
I would put a knife into all of my trash uncles
Fasting. K2 can reduce the rate at which plaques calcify, but really fasting is the only thing that makes a dent in those frickers. The lower you can get your lipids the better. A couple of month long fasts and you'll unironically just flat out reverse a decade of plaques.
We talking multi day or omad type fasting
>a couple of month long fasts
Means, not eating anything for a month. Eating for a week or two just to replenish minerals and stuff, and then not eating again for a month.
Surprisingly not as hard as you think.
>Surprisingly not as hard as you think.
Hardest part for me is that after like 3 days I can barely sleep. Fasting jacks up all sorts of stress hormones that keep you alert.
Just remembered he has to take meds with food morning and night not sure how he can get around that
Hmmm maybe you can take the meds without eating? ask his doctor about that
your uncle needs finasteride, minoxidil, and a dermastamp
Magnesium bisycinate
Heart disease is caused by two things:
1- shear stress on artery walls. The more shear stress the more-
2- inflammation of the endothelium. But inflammation can also be caused by a hundred other factors other than no 1.
Minimise those two, and the damage will slowly start healing with time. The only way to minimise shear stress is to control blood pressure, there are also genetic factors in how a persons arteries are structured that you can't control. As to inflammation, you could write not one book, but a library about it. Start with reading about the Randle Cycle, its a good start.
Protip, cholesterol has frick all to do with the aetiology heart disease, other than as a secondary marker of inflammation, in some cases.
Thanks for indepth reply, would keto dirt be good to follow to reduce inflammation?
What I personally do is strict carnivore. Not everybody has to do it, but I have other issues, mostly mental in nature. I just did bloodwork, in fact, and my hsCRP is at 1 exactly. Which is low by common standards, but you really wanna get it to below 0.5, 2 signifies heightened risk of heart disease. My triglicerides are below 70, which is great.
The thing is, its about the Randle Cycle. I'm not gonna explain all of it, but the gist is simple- don't mix fats and carbs. It really is that simple. Eat either a high fat, moderate protein, zero carb diet, OR a high carb, low fat, moderate protein diet. No inbetweens. The vast majority of people living today eat a "balanced" diet in terms of macros, close to equal carbs and fats. That's metabolic suicide. That's exactly the reason people get sick and die. Don't do that. Choose one path, and follow it.
How much of a gap do you need between the fat/protein and carbs/protein? Like if you want to switch it up. Is day by day sufficient? Or week by week?
There are no studies about it, so if you wanna carb cycle, you'll have to take your chances. I have no idea, tbh. I wouldn't do it, because human metabolism is not a light switch, it takes time to ramp up to one or the other mode of operation. It takes months to fully adapt to carnivore, months to adapt to full high carb diet. Really, you're better off choosing one or the other.
Tell him to eat toxic industrial seed oils and sugar. Then get him to eat healthy saturated fat and lots of meat. Saturated fat is the lubricant of veins.
>Saturated fat is the lubricant of veins.
really? ermm source
That's calcified information
eat meat, have sex and sleep
Lots and lots of garlic and garlic extract pills
why garlic? that wouldnt reverse calcification that was already there
Aspirin + K2, also tell him to eat lots of calcium from dairies or leafy greens
I'm gonna start eating a teaspoon of coconut oil every morning. The type of fats in it bond with the cholesterol and remove it from your body. Or something along those lines.
Gonna get flamed for this one but unironically a whole food vegan diet if your main concern is reversal of arterial plaque progression.
It's about deactivating the Randle Cycle. Its literally all that the vegan diet does correctly. The exact same benefit can be derived from a zero-carb diet. At least be honest and thorough with your shilling.
You should have a blood test done to find out if it's genetic. Have your lipoprotein a, (lpa) and apolipopritein B, (apoB) levels checked. lpa will show if it's genetic, its a test that should be done once. apoB will give you the amount of lipoproteins that cause atherosclerosis. If your lpa is high, you should keep your apoB under 80 mg/dl.
Try the vegan diet, friend. Proven to reverse atherosclerosis
Plant based diet, getting all the necessary aminos through supplements, saunas. I take pic related and it helped me while being plant based. Taking pic rel helped me as well.
Flushing the liver/gallbladder and colon and kidneys will help as well. Focus more on cardio and going to the sauna, but don't get weak. It can be reversed over time especially if you catch it early.
