Johnwen posted this and you probably know this since you stopped taking statins , but I thought I'd post it anyway in case you haven't read it. https://people.csail.mit.edu/seneff/sta ... ilure.html These things are slow and sure death!

I agree, thanks.

Update, my LPa is now only known as less than 10, down from 13 is April.
My non calculated LDL is 68 from 75 calculated in Dec '16.

I bought some DMSO on ebay & it caused my creatine to jump to 1.33! I may post in the general forum but it seems real pharmaceutical grade DSMO would be the best treatment for the polluted fake.

This months blood test results:
CREATININE 1.35 mg/dL
I wonder if this is from the cheap DMSO, too much protein or what. Getting a retest in a month. Am on dandelion root, horsetail, michael's water balance & 500mg reduced glutathione for now.

CHOLESTEROL 134 mg/dL
TRIGLYCERIDE 189 mg/dL
HDL 61 mg/dL
LDL CALCULATED 35 mg/dL
CHOLESTEROL/HIGH DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN 2.2
CHOLESTEROL, NON-HDL 73 mg/dL
Everything is down but for the TRIGLYCERIDE which I anticipated in the non fasting test. Seems 200 is the point when a fasting test is a check on this. I was 65 in April, fasting.
Oh yea, LPa is less than 10! That is the best Quest Diagnostics can provide.

Off of the fish oil and on cod livers + Seasons water pack sardines. Also swithched to Jarrow K mk7 @ 270 to 360 / day, from LE super k.

I see your creatinine was elavated do you know what your GFR number is.

Yes. 1.33 a month ago & 1.35 now. That is technically stage 3 failure.

Also If you are a bit dehydrated before the test it can change the GFR rate so when you repeat the test make sure you drink lots of water the day before.

I drink 16 oz with each VC hit 6 times a day plus maybe half again more of other non soda drinks.

To note, when I told him what I had learned here but not disclosing the source, that BP is related to dehydration (Johnwen) he said that was news to him!
My BP at this "excited" visit was 100/59. From 120 to 130 over 65 to 75 previously.
I pee all day long & wake 3 to 4 times night also.

I think it may be too much protein...

I started taking Saw Palmetto, Pumpkin seed oil, and Pygeum. I don't know which is helping but the force of my urine stream has markedly improved and I went from waking 3-4 times a night to once or not at all. I'm really happy so I'm just going to keep taking all three.

Thank you.
I got pumpkin seeds, Jarrow Saw Palmetto but did not see a lot of change, yet some improvement.

I am in the ER presently with a bout of intense abdominal pain. Echo shows no irregularities. They think I may have passed a GB stone or liver problems- bilirubin is 1.6 from 1.3 a month ago. Holding me overnight & a liver panel...
No LP for a day.

I feel your pain - having to go in the hospital. Let us know what they find.

Reviewing this topic, your total cholesterol is very low, like mine - only 134 mg/dl.

Where on the abdomen is the pain?

Now off PT for 16 hrs.
My blood sugar spiked to 160 after 10 hrs.
Nothing by mouth from midnight.
They cannot offer insulin while not eating.

Liver stats pending...
