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.?….

The last thing you want to do is tamper or try to lower your Lp(a) levels which are in your genetics for a reason to live a long healthy life. 2012 article title: Low Lipoprotein(a) Concentration Is Associated with Cancer and All-Cause Deaths: A Population-Based Cohort Study (The JMS Cohort Study).

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.

Hey doc what were your lp(a) levels when you got them tested?

[carmenross]

Your thoughts about Repatha please, injectable

What is the relationship of Lipoprotein(A) and Apo-A? My Lipoprotein(A) is very low but LDL is high, how to read this? Thanks!

[MyChilepepper]

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.

There are several books written by PhD doctors about niacin therapy for Lp(a). Why have you not considered? Are there severe side effects?

[ddutton]

Elevated Lp(a) is usually caused by an allele on chromosome 6. CKD 4 & 5 can also elevate it 2-5x. Can niacin and PSK9i that lower the genetically driven elevation work on the CKD-driven elevation? Regards

"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

What berberine and niacin products you recommend?

[R.R.Brahma]

Doctor,
300mg of bernerine twice a day. Does it mean 600mg a day?

Apparently the human body has evolved to hurt itself. And certain unlucky folk lose the genetic lottery and have no way to avoid this condition. Or perhaps what you are describing is not the full story and not the root cause but rather the symptom caused by other factors. Hmmmm.
