I never heard of this before, but it seems to fit to me pretty well. I have high IQ, I'm a physicist, don't drink enough water and would be fairly athletic if it wasn't for my crohn disease. The impact of giving up grains was huge on my health! A quick search and I've found this link between high Lipoprotein(a) and crohn disease: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11742189 It would be interesting to ask my doctor about it!

My doctor checks lpa once a month. Says thou I have minimal body fat I have to take cholesterol meds. Because my lpa is 14 times higher than what is considered high risk. This putting me at risk of blood clots. I under go quarterly ulta sounds of vascular system as well as annual Hart caths. A high price for being smarter than the average bear. Don't ya think?

]]> Comment on What tests are MORE important than cholesterol? by Stephen in Jacksonville http://blog.trackyourplaque.com/2013/05/what-tests-are-more-important-than-cholesterol.html/comment-page-1#comment-15328 Stephen in Jacksonville Fri, 14 Jun 2013 21:20:30 +0000 http://blog.trackyourplaque.com/?p=4715#comment-15328 Tests are important, and I think that there are more people today who are interested in keeping track of their cholesterol levels. This is why I think we live in such a special time. We have access to more information than ever before, and now people can learn about high cholesterol risks without having to go to the doctor. In fact, I have found a number of sites that allow people to track their cholesterol levels online. Obviously, there are some people who may go overboard with access to this information, but I do think that there are plenty of benefits to be had.

My total chol is 177, HDL is 83, LDL is 88, Triglycerides are 30 and risk factor 2.7, but a 64-slice heart scan done in May 08 showed plaque to two coronary arteries. I had a stroke in my 40's and lost the sight of one eye. My dad died of a stroke at age 35. My grandfather died at 68 of a heart attack. I'm 70+. On my insulin sensitivity score ranging from 0-100, I scored 1. Dr Douglas Brown, Brookfield said, "I've never seen such a low score for insulin sensitivity or triglycerides. My BP fluctuates wildly. Some days I don't require any Lisinopril and other days I require 20+ mg. He thinks I should have a heart cath, but with such great labs, I highly doubt that Medicare would approve. I wish I knew what to do about the BP. I do go to Pulmonary Rehab classes for bronchiectasis, but I'm chronically fatigued. We've had both radon and mold remediation done at our home and a Naturopathic dr told me I have an extreme amt of lead toxicity. I need advice. I have your book and your CD's. Listening to the CD's is what made my husband decide to go off grains, other than a little rice occasionally. He dropped 20lbs fairly quickly.

Are triglyceride and phospholipid two different forms or are they the same? Do you happen to know anything about the Swanson brand which has an EcoMarine trademark? Thank you, Susie Dr. Davis,
