German trying to use PT to lower Lp(a) without success

[johnjackson]

I'm taking about 3000mcg daily, but i'd love to see the study???
You mean 3mg?
I put 1gram into a drip.

doctors choice NAC has something else , molybdenum, in MCG, I read it wrong, yes, mg
I dont use needles, aside from donating bloood(which isnt me doing it)

NAC also helps increase nitric oxide production, which helps veins dilate and improves blood flow and might improve insulin sensitivity


another reason to be on a plant based diet..more NO than a meat/high fat diet

I would be interested to know if and with what results other forum members have reduced their lp(a) with Pauling therapy.

Many moons ago, from memory, I had my Lp(a) tested by two labs (blood drawn the same day) and it was 3 mg/dl, Johnwen was around 2 mg/dl. Unfortunately, we didn't have baseline values to know what the starting values were. My father's side of the family (including him) all died young of massive heart attacks (50s and 60s).

A New York medical school professor once called me, and I added this story to my book, that he had performed an experiment on himself. He had taken vitamin C and lysine and measured his Lp(a) every six months, 2 or 3 times, and the Lp(a) dropped about 30%. Then he added proline, forgot to test on the 6 month, but when he did finally test, his Lp(a) was zero. (That's when he called me.)

At one time, we tried to study this, but found out that a) labs are different, so you must use the same lab for each study subject measurement, e.g. comparing one lab to another is like apples and oranges), and b) this is when we learned the FDA allows big labs to compute (rather than measure) Lp(a). Unless the values are measured, the results are bogus and senseless.

And as Pauling/Rath mention in their first patent, Lp(a) is not uniform and can range 1000 fold. Large molecules are not as "atherogenic" (dangerous) as small particles, so absolute mass may not indicate risk.. Why they went to "particles" (e.g. mnol/l).

One thing we do know - zero (measured) is good, so long as you take regular vitamin C to keep your arteries lesion free

Or has anyone had a similar lp(a) increase?

I already posted my lp(a) results for many years in this thread. Therefore you know already that also for me fluctuations between 34 and 66 mg/dl - almost doubling - are normally occurring

[Frodo]

Thanks Pamojja!
Was it always the same lab?
Did you have any surgeries in the years?

[pamojja]

Not always the same lab. But between the highest and lowest value it was the same.
No surgeries.
