Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 The " average " results we get at our center are well documented and published. And, they are averages. Some do better, some not as well. Today, I saw one that was nothing short of a " miracle " . A 39 yr old male came to the center on 10/5 because his physical revealed a fasting blood sugar of 244, cholesterol of 820, Triglycerides of 6095, and a HDL of 16. He was slightly overweight. Today I saw his final results before he left. Its been about 5 weeks. His fasting blood sugar was 150, his cholesterol was 145, his triglycerides was 172 and his HDL was 39. His blood sugar and his TGs will continue to go down, but to see this improvement in 5 weeks is nothing short of a miracle. Dont discount the impact a change in lifestyle can have.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Hi Jeff: In my opinion the single most important thing you could possibly do with the data from this example is to document, in detail, exactly what he had been doing before coming to the clinic. Truly, this could give some gigantic hints to everyone about what surely must be the worst combination of behaviours imaginable, that need to be avoided like the plague!

He was slightly overweight. 820!? Blood still flows at that level? That's the highest I've ever heard. Is there an upper limit to cholesterol numbers? I wonder if the Guiness Book Of World Records has one for LDL. - > Today I saw his final results before he left.

On the initial draw, his blood was actually like a milk shake. Very thick and white/yellow looking. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
