I read in another post that he/she lowered her LDL by 100 points in three months with 1 tablespoon psyllium husk in 8 oz water twice daily with meals I thought was quite impressive.

A great video. You explained this like no one else could. I went through this with my primary Dr.
and I will also show this to him. Thanks….looking forward to hearing more. All the other doctors just say…..take a statin.?….

Thank you! Yes, since Lp(a) isn't as highly studied, many doctors are unaware of it as a risk factor for CVD and how to treat it.

Love it when all of the pharmaceutical companies create a drug to lower a particular risk factor like LDL cholesterol - but the moment a non-patentable supplement like Niacin also lowers that very same marker they insist that it has no effect on mortality reduction! Lowered my Lp(a) 30% with Niacin.

That's a remarkable reduction. Wow! Does it make you flush?

"Remarkably, one-quarter of the centenarians had high Lp(a) serum levels even though they never suffered from atherosclerosis-related diseases." 1998 G. Baggio.
"Nonetheless, the apo(a) size distribution in centenarians did not entirely explain the high Lp(a) levels observed in this population. Factors other than apo(a) size, and which may be either genetic or environmental in nature, appear to contribute to the elevated plasma Lp(a) levels of our centenarian population. We conclude therefore that high plasma Lp(a) levels are compatible with longevity." 1998 article by J Thillet
