Re: What causes heart disease?
Here's an article from Health Impact News featuring the work done by Dr. Kendrick and his fellows at THINCS.
I've been telling people for years that LDL and HDL and all that stuff doesn't really mean diddly but the information has been so engrained into people's conscious awareness since the 1970's that it is very hard to break the mold of their thinking.
As a side story, my DH goes in to see his doctor once a year for a flight physical (he flies small craft planes, etc) and about 2 years ago that doctor wanted to put him on a statin drug which I questioned at the time because his cholesterol numbers were good as far as I was concerned but high for what the doctor thought they should be, nevermind that my DH is one of the healthiest men I know. The doctor also knows he's healthy but I think was testing him. At any rate when DH was in for his flight physical this year the doctor proclaimed what a wonderful job the statins were doing at controlling his lipid levels, etc. We almost laughed in his face because DH has never filled the script for the statins. Don't these doctors realize or check records about refills?? He had no idea that DH wasn't taking those damn statins and we didn't tell him, either. That just goes to show you what a crock they are.

Re: What causes heart disease?
Here's part 58. I'm still not totally convinced that blood pressure is as big a factor as it's made out to be. Sure, it's dangerous, I know that, but I think more doctors need to look at the fact that as people age, their blood pressure is bound to go up and lowering it artificially (via drugs) is not always the best solution. But I think I'm fighting an uphill battle because no one thinks the way I do - - because the way I think doesn't put people on 3, sometimes 4, BP drugs at a time to "lower that blood pressure". I think it's actually kind of a farce.
I'll stay with the premise that as we age, our BP should be gauged by our age. So your age (after age 60) +100 for the systolic number and the diastolic should still be between 70 and 90. After all people lived to ripe old ages loooooooooong before "drugs" ever came on the scene and never did they suffer from the forms of heart "disease" trouble we have in the world today, which leads me to believe that stress is still the major culprit. Not the kind of stress people used to have just surviving. This is the useless stress we bring on ourselves by needing to "keep up with the Joneses". It's ridiculous, on top of being dangerous. Nobody cares if your neighbor has a boat and you don't and even if they did care, why should you care? You'll live longer if you don't care, and that's the truth. You live your life, let others live theirs and it'll all come out in the wash, as my gramma used to say.

Re: What causes heart disease?
Dr. Kendrick's latest post. This is not surprising to those of us who have long ago given up on anything truthful coming from wikipedia. I stopped using them as a source long ago and I NEVER click on any of their links if they're included in an article I'm reading or whatever.
He's better off without Wiki because you know he's getting on someone's nerves when they start "censoring" him. Hopefully enough people will keep passing the word (like I do here) to friends and relatives, etc.

Re: What causes heart disease?
A continuation of the wikipedia saga.
I only have one thing to say about Dr. K's article this time - - we have quite a few friends who are Seventh Dayer's and there is nothing in their church "rules" that requires them to be vegetarian much less vegan. They eat meat sometimes, if they want to. It is a choice each family makes, I guess. But by no stretch of the imagination do they "require" their members to be vegan. That's a myth that's been with the religion for decades that simply isn't true. When I was in high school (eons ago) I dated a boy who was a 7th Dayer and his family ate meat about twice weekly, but I got some great recipes from his Mom for things like walnut meatloaf, etc., and using peas, lentils and beans of all sorts for their protein.
Anyway, here's the article from Dr. K:

Re: What causes heart disease?
Dr. Kendrick unfolds a little more of the BS about statins being helpful against heart disease. I'll warn you ahead of time, this is loooong, but well worth the time to read.

Re: What causes heart disease?
Here's part 64 (I think!). It's hard to keep track of these because sometimes they're numbered and sometimes they're not.
I should have gotten this posted sooner because it's from April, just didn't get around to it because I haven't been on the computer all that much lately.

The latest from Dr. Kendrick.
Does ANYONE IN MEDICINE (besides those who seem aware of the risks involved) even understand vaccines????
I doubt it. Please read this informative newsletter I received today. I think the public is fighting a losing battle, sorry to say.

Re: What causes heart disease?
Many things cause heart disease, but taking statin drugs will not solve the problem, it will only make it worse.
Please read this information SLOWLY and absorb it all - every word.

Re: What causes heart disease?
Dr. Kendrick appears in a video on the Dr. Mercola web site and I'm posting it here because it's important for people to understand that statin drugs are virtually useless, and can (in my opinion) also be damaging to the body.
Please watch this vid. You will learn a lot in a short time.

Re: What causes heart disease?
Part 65 is at the link below, after my comment.
Dietary advice is fashionable, not factual, as shown in spades in this article.
The only thing I insist on where meat is concerned is that's it's as close to nature (organic) as possible. I like grass-fed meats because that's what I grew up with. Our chickens ate all kinds of things, food scraps mostly. My Dad was not a "farmer" he was a rancher - we raised beef cattle (hereford) not crops. The only "crop" we worried about was making bales out of the grasses that grew naturally in our 700 acres of fields where the cows didn't graze. They had their own 1400 acres to graze!

Re: What causes heart disease?
The link below is an article written by Dr. Kendrick and posted at NVIC today. I wanted people to see it so I've posted it in two place on this forum today - here where I post ALL the stuff written (online) by Dr. Kendrick, and also at the topic here called "General Health Information". It's a great read, if a bit confusing at times, because first he states he is a believer in vaccines but then goes on to dissect them to a point of obliteration!! This is an area where I somewhat disagree with Dr. Kendrick, in that I do not believe in ANY vaccinations. I just do not believe they're in the best interest of the public, just in the best interest of the pocketbooks of the medical industrial complex players. You know who they are - - they are your local doctors, that's who they are. Very few are willing to state their REAL feelings about vaccinations because they will be tossed out of the medical community (very unforgiving bunch) on their ears.
Please read this, it's not that long and it eventually makes a lot of sense!

Re: What causes heart disease?
GREAT reading here. Maybe it will FINALLY get through people's heads (if we can get enough of them to read this and other articles he's written) that up until now we've been listening to the wrong people about the entire cholesterol theory. There are several good books and articles "out there" concerning this subject, but people simply will not be convinced of what's right in front of their faces.
That's why America is going to end up being a socialist/communist country in just a short time. No one listens, no one reads anything worthwhile because they're too damned busy on their stupid phones. Can you imagine being an adult and sliding your finger around on a phone all day, talking with people you don't even know, showing photos of your family, and doing all sorts of other stupid things because no one lives in reality anymore. It's the most ridiculous thing to happen to our population EVER. Some day I hope people have the opportunity to look back on their lives and say to themselves "what the sam hell were we thinking"?? I won't live that long, I guarantee it. People aren't just a bit stupid, they are monstrously stupid.

Re: What causes heart disease?
Scaring people witless - - just about like scaring them into getting those "artery checks/scans", as if that's gonna help. So, let's say you get an "artery scan" (a misnomer if ever there was one) and the person giving it says you must see a doctor right away. What ELSE would you expect them to say???!!!! You didn't actually think they were going to tell you "you're fine" and let you go home unscathed, did you?
Well, that's how the "scare" works with CAC.
Read all about it from a guy who knows his stuff.
And let that be a lesson to you . . . .

Re: What causes heart disease?
GREAT STUFF FROM DR. KENDRICK, AS USUAL. HE'S ON TOP OF THINGS IN THE UK, WHICH ALSO AFFECTS ALL OTHER COUNTRIES, TOO.
"Lockdown has two main purposes. One, to limit the spread of the virus. Two, and most important, to protect the elderly and infirm from infection – as these are the people most likely to become very ill, end up in hospital, and often die. [In my view, if we had any sense, we would lockdown/protect the elderly, and let everyone else get on with their lives].
However, the hospitals themselves have another policy. Which is to discharge the elderly unwell patients with COVID directly back into the community, and care homes.
Where they can spread the virus widely amongst the most vulnerable.
This, believe it or not, is NHS policy.
Still.
Yes, you did just read that. COVID-19 patients, even those with symptoms, are still to be discharged back home, or into care homes – unless unwell enough to require hospital care e.g. oxygen, fluids and suchlike.
If this is not national policy, then the managers are telling me lies.
In fact, it does seem to be policy, although the guidance from the UK Government is virtually incomprehensible1.
I have read it a few times and I fail to fully understand it – or partially understand it.
I tried reading it upside down, and it made just about as much sense."
