thanks, Owen
So I have low Lp(a), recently got tested just because..
I was on Pauling THerapy for 5-6yrs before because high or low Lp(a), didnt matter, PT that is what you do when you have high Lp(a) and for general health.
now I am thinking about my CAC score....
it is much harder to get a MRI or CT scan to measure CAC, than a simple bloood test to measure Lp(a_
so how do I lower a CAC score?
Is it as simple as:
Pauling therapy+more lysine and more k2?
I mentioned Dr Dach has a site deditcated to lowering CAC
https://jeffreydachmd.com/how-to-revers ... ium-score/he says stuff like
a) Reduction of LDL to 60 mg/dl (LDL should be measured directly, not calculated)
b) Reduction of triglycerides to 60 mg/dl.
c) Raising HDL to 60 mg/dl.
-get normal BP
-get normal sugars< 100mg/dl
- crp <1ng
Niacin
wine
flaxseed
more protien(yeah, LYSINE)
more fiber
1-3g vitC
mg
arginine(no, citrilline is better)
Normalize thyroid/sex hormones
-Dr dach throws everything at you, like they do when they tell you how to prevent heart disease.. so I find his info rather cookie cutter/generalized and since heart disease is the #1 killer, this info isnt working
SO what does the Vitamin C foundation say on how to lower CAC?
id imagine there is a page that describes PT and/or how to reduce CAC score, but I cannot find it.
