Re: new cholesterol

[Guest guest]

, I'm interested in your lipid profile notes but I can't understand either

of your e-mails.

Would you flesh out your story in detail with a longer post?

For example: What do you mean by a " cholesterol fast " ? In today's post, were you

listing two

different readings for each lipid? What do you mean by " the numbers are lower " ?

Please tell us your whole story....

okay first step to this story , I had a physical for some reason. He wanted to

do the basic cholesterol test I had both my kids with me and I wasn't about to

bring them in the lab. They would go CRAZY touching everything. So my son had

to have a physical for preschool and I was in there and said " hey my husbands

here today why don't you do that blood test " so that is where is started...

first test is the second set of numbers I think??

the first set is the fast numbers. the fast was you don't eat for 12 hours

then they test you again.

Now something else in your story has jumped out for me. After 25 years of

running a public

clinic I CAN'T BELIEVE how many children (or parents?) are like this today....

" I had both my kids with me and I wasn't about to bring them in the lab. They

would go

CRAZY touching everything. "

Even my commune-raised, hippy kids (albeit born in the '60's) had manners and

could sit still

for hours, in a church, guest's home or any public space. Just like kids were

expected to do

when I was a child.

What gives? Is it food? Spock-trained parents? Sugar? The times? Aliens?

Genetic mutation?

Since most of my medical equipment is either dangerous, fragile, or both, I'd

usually

eventually be forced to be the " bad cop " and park the little monsters into

chairs. Most of the

parents would express gratitude but a certain percentage would go CRAZY on me

(!) for

bossing their precious little darlings around. The kids would be WAILING, the

parents heading

for the door on their way to report me to the authorities, and the appointment

shot to hell.

Go figure.

Wow, is right, I spend the majority of some of those child-in-tow appointments

keeping little

Jr from stabbing himself with syringe needles or scalpel blades, or worse,

getting bitten or

scratched by a sick or wounded animal -- with nary an injured child--and this is

all the

thanks I get. My, my, my.

Oh, well,

it's all just part of the Great Comedy of Life. The ONLY people who REALLY know

what's up

with raising children are those that never raised any! That's the best laugh of

all.

And just think, we were talking about CHOLESTEROL! Obviously, a far SAFER topic

and one to

which I'M STICKING, like plaque to an artery!

The " new " cholesterol is still the " old " genetics...i know plenty folks who are

healthy as proverbial horses who have levels high as K2 and some who keep the

level low who still have to have surgical intervention...it's all in the genes

kids...you can try and control it, but it might not be what is controlling

you...

Best to just eat well and enjoy life on earth. All in moderation. Life's a

comedy; it's up to us to keep it from being a tragedy.

That's a good philosophy, H. Alan. )

I'm reading " The Cholesterol Myths " by Dr. Uffe Ravnskov these days.

It's dry and academic in some places, but maddening in others when you

think about how we've been stampeded into hysteria, and duped and

scammed into letting them prescribe those statin drugs. All because

of some piss-poor scientific " research " by that fool Ancel Keys, whose

shoddy work would never have seen the light of day if somebody hadn't

spotted the chance to make mega-bucks off of it.

Oh COME ON, such a jaded attitude...but hey, who's gonna deny that the person

who coined the term:

" better living through chemistry " ...was likely an accountant?
