I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Dr. M... Excellent list and post. Have been pitching this for years. A couple of notes to consider with these items: Statins ("cholesterol" meds) are one of the most over-prescribed meds on the planet (and, most lucrative) and many here are probably taking these things. These meds block K2 uptake and block Coenzyme Q-10 production (an energy molecule in muscle) - both vital for heart health. I would argue that it is malpractice to put people on these things without CoQ-10 supplementation. Thei…
My doc prescribed B12 supplement to treat insulin resistance. I take Methylguard, a methylated form that improves absorbtion. I have an ApoE4 mutation that disrupts processing so we're keeping my blood levels of B12 very high. My insulin resistance has pretty much resolved, along with improved diet, and my homocystene decreased, but remains a little higher than I want, so I'm increasing weightlifting exercise to work on that. So many variables. I was on two statins and had worsening cardiovasc…
I take PQQ (PyrroloQuinoline Quinone) with Coq10 because this encourages mitochodrial regrowth inside the cells. My dentist told me about this. After my open heart surgery (2009), my eject fraction was 45%. Normal is 55% - 60%. A month ago it measured 53%, so I think the PQQ - Coq10 works. I am also diabetic. Recently I stopped eating grains, but still eat fruit and resistant starch vegetables like peas and beans. It helps my blood sugar. You may want to check into this.
Looks interesting. Thanks. I'll study that some more. Like most supplements, apparently it's available with fruits and vegetables, so a good diet should provide whatever we need. But sometimes, more is better, so it's always worth a look. I assume you've read Esselstyn. He has successfully treated heart patients, even reversing fairly serious conditions, with very low fat diet. No oils, nothing with a mother. If the muscle itself is damaged, apparently that won't heal, but function can be improved with diet and lifestyle, as you have seen. I followed his guidance, monitored by a live cardiologist, for 2 years. Lost a lot of weight (BMI 30 to 20), heart condition improved a lot, still had some problems, but much less. The biggest change for me was ditching carbs. That maintained my prior gains and cleaned up the other labs. The theory that seemed to work for me was described by Saladino in Carnivore Code.
