@akashsarker1748 , if I were you then I would consult a well qualified cardiologist to diagnose the problem and address it.

@@KnowledgeforQOL i consult best cardiologist of our country they all said all of your reports are normal they given me idea to consult Anxiety related doctors

@akashsarker1748 , I understand that all your reports are normal, but you mentioned earlier that the doctor said you have LVH, which means your left ventricle has a thickened wall. Did they say anything to address it? What is the root cause of that? I also have some questions which I think you should ask yourself as well. 1. Are you doing high intensive training in the gym? 2. Is your BP normal? 3. Do you have a lot of stress and anxiety? Read here some literature related to anxiety and related symptoms. It may help in understanding more. www.woodlandsheartinstitute.com/blog/anxiety-and-chest-pain-are-they-linked Remember, our body is very complicated, and sometimes there are minor things that we normally overlook and focus on major health issues. The same is true when we have major issues and treat it as a minor problem. Also, check for the nutrients and minerals if they are OK, such as potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron, selenium, copper, etc. These are crucial minerals that can play a vital role in anxiety, specifically magnesium. Eat a well-balanced diet. I hope and pray that you feel better soon.

@akashsarker1748 , consult a well qualified cardiologist and seek the medical advice.

@maheshsinghtube , get the iodine and selenium checked as well if both of them are adequate. Sometimes various foods deplete iodine as well.

Any D3 and k2 in gelcap form emulsified in oil is good. Just make sure that the oil is not any seed oil. I only prefer extra virgin olive oil or coconut based oil.

I was recommended to take the statin but never took and changed my lipid profile with an alternative lifestyle, and that's what I shared in my other vlog. My mom took statin for 10 years when I was in the dark as far as the proper understanding of our health. When I realized that it's hurting her health and her risk was minimal for CVD, then I stopped it for her. She lived 99 years and passed away this year in April.

I lowered my triglycerides to 47 from 90 by avoiding sugars, refined flours and simple carbs. No pills.

@bengeorge69 Yes, you can make it with garbanzo beans as well. Since the garbanzo beans are bigger in surface area as compared to kotsubu beans (smaller size soybeans), it will not produce a lot of slime ( Nattokianase). Are you concerned about eating soy due to estrogen or something else? I have made it with garbanzo as well, but I like my Natto with smaller size beans. If you decide to make it with garbanzo beans then make sure to steam the beans perfectly.

My issues is getting non gmo glyphosate free from local store.

@bengeorge69 , where are you located? If you are in USA then you can get it shipped from Laura soybeans. They are local farmer in Iowa. Amazing non gmo certified beans. I get it from them in 5 lbs bag.

⁠Texas will do saw it on Amazon. Thanks for the info!

@bengeorge69, you can also get it shipped from Laura soybeans. laurasoybeans.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorKfcmhjih3KIjUeaNqQk7PhqCH4wy0O8uoyt1S5FpfZsFHn-Lp

@bengeorge69 , you can ask your doctor, and he can give you a referral. If there is an issue with health insurance, then one can go directly to 23andme or walking labs or lab Corp or quest.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks! Welcome to the community of learners.

Any soybeans would work but Kotsubu beans produce the best Natto. Kotsubu beans are smaller in size that I use, since the surface area of beans are smaller and if property steamed, the bacterias attach better in consuming the natural sugar on the surface, producing lot of neba neba (polyglutamic acid ) which is the sticky enzyme and it's called Nattokianase.

@KnowledgeforQOL Understood, unfortunately I don't have a steamer, I will cook it using a pressure cooker with boiling water, I don't have enough money to buy one. The soybeans sold here are only the small ones, which they said they import from Egypt. I had tried making natto with mint, but it did not work, because I did not find natto starter powder in stores. Unfortunately, there is no Japanese food culture here in Algeria. I ordered it plus a yoghurt maker from China and it is waiting now. Thanks for this information, have a nice day!

Excellent, please let me know how it turns out!

@@KnowledgeforQOL In fact, that lamp is not sold here, I do not own a yoghurt maker, it is not sold here in Algeria, so I ordered one from China, and I also ordered the natto starter powder, I will try your recipe when I receive the tools, then I will tell you the result.

You can use any heating medium that provides temperature of 98 deg F to 108 F. It could be controlled heater or anything else. This is the temperature range for natto to ferment.

@@KnowledgeforQOL I have an electrical resistor, but I don't know if using it inside the oven is a good idea.

@khaledsmatte7379 , I wouldn't use the resistor inside the oven. If you have a gas range oven, then there may be an option for bread proof, which gives a temperature close to 95 to 96 F. I did it once when my bulb was fused, and it was during the fermentation process. Since that time I have been buying long life bulbs and keep a spare.

You're welcome! I'm glad to hear that you're learning. Please share with others as well for their benefit.

That's great!

@@akashsarker1748, please consult a well qualified cardiologist and see what he recommends and follow up with the necessary tests to get to the bottom of the issue.

@vijayamara817 I think I talked about it in a few other vlogs that are full version. This one is short for only 1 min. The clearance rate is slower in allele 2 and faster in allele 4, whereas the clearance in allele 3 is typical. Please see the other vlogs for clear understanding. Also, watch it completely so you dont miss anything. Thx

No, I don't use ghee for coffee. I use it for my bread or some specialty item when we cook. But if someone wants to make keto coffee, then it can be added.

You're welcome! Unfortunately, I can't add a pdf to my description. It doesn't allow unless I have an url. You can use the video to save the screenshot as a print screen of pdf for your reference. I added to the description of the video. Also, remember that Vitamin c is water soluble, and we don't store in our body. It gets excreted through urine. So, one needs to replenish frequently. Vitamin c is also a cofactor with D, and it's very good for interior lining for our arteries. It is good in immunity building against cold and allergies as well.

Sounds great! I eat a full plate of about 13 various stir fry mixed veges in dinner before the main course.

@@KnowledgeforQOL excellent

Sounds great!

Thank you, I will. It's in the pipeline. By the way, I am not a doctor. I am just an informed consumer who uses his education to its core in everything that I do. Try to watch other vlogs that are already uploaded based on my experiences and learning. If you subscribe, then you will get notifications automatically.

Thanks. I am familiar with those but try to avoid in the form of supplements. I prefer the food sources first and eat Natto daily through which I get my vitamin k2-mk7 and Nattokianase. I make my own Natto. I have uploaded Natto vlog as well.

Thanks, and I appreciate it. I am not a guru in any way. I am a learner and will keep learning as there is so much to learn. The moment I think that I know it all, it means I will stop my learning growth. I have a CAC as well. The first scan I did in 1998 and the score was 98. I was vividly looking for answers and reasons why? Read numerous papers, including Dr. William Davis and few others. I did the second scan in 2021, and the score jumped to 169. Meanwhile, I was trying hard to either stop the progression and eventually reverse it. This year, I did the scan in may 2024, and the score was 169. That was a major success for me to at least stop the progression. I have discussed few things in the vlog that worked for me but will mention again when I discuss the lifestyle protocol along with supplements. I also did the Carotid Doppler since the CIMT is not available close by. There is no stenosis, and the blood flow at each cross section is pretty uniform. I try to keep the CAC scan at three years to see how things are moving while following the lifestyle protocol. Read here about the radiation exposure for additional info. my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diagnostics/16824-calcium-score-screening-heart-scan

Slow clearance for Apoe2 and typical clearance for Apoe3, resulting in mixed clearance as per the literature.

I am sorry, I can't recommend anything to anyone. Please work with your doctor, particularly if you can find a functional doctor who would know about k2. There is no such thing as an established dose for vitamin k2 yet. Based on the literature, one would need more for allele 4 and less for allele 2, leading to mixed effects on vitamin k2 clearance.

Thanks! There is a lot to learn how the human body works and functions.

Yes, some folks can get these symptoms, particularly those whose clearance is slow. They do better with mk4. Do you know your ApoE genotype?

I will do it when I discuss the tests for osteoporosis and why I don't like dexa scan test.

Consult with Endocrinologist to see what could be the underlying cause of lower serum calcium? It's not always k2. Just curious, what is your vitamin D level?

@@KnowledgeforQOL my vitamin D is 38, where normal range 30-100. I never had low calcium in my blood. The symptoms like heart paltipatons and insomnia only get better of i supplement calcium and magnesium and potassium and especially calcium supplements only help. May be i need really low k2 mk4

See my other research based vlogs on vitamin D. The optimum is around 60 ng/ml. We keep ours around 80 to 85 ng/ml. D is very crucial in calcium absorption, and it increases the calcium absorption by 20 folds. Besides that, we try to be in normal range for all the other nutrients and verify via tests. Remember, the human body is very complex, and it thrives on each and every vitamin, nutrient, and mineral. I try to cover some key concepts in each and every vlog. My approach to health is very holistic.

Yes, geno metabolictype would help in deciding the type of diet for metabolic health. Also, remember that APOE Genotype is also a carrier of cholesterol. So, the carrier of allele 4 may metabolize dietary cholesterol more than allele 2 folks.

Based on my reading, people who don't clear k2 fast and store it for longer, they are better of with mk4 form since the half life of mk4 is shorter than mk7.

Very valid question. I think you haven't seen my other video where I discussed my calcium score, which is atherosclerosis. I have been monitoring this since 2018, and it was 98, then it increased to 169 in 2021. This year, I stopped it completely by increasing the k2 and doing few other interventions which I discussed in other video. In essence people generally try to fix things by addressing only one thing as a silver bullet. But when it comes to heathcare it is a very complex matrix and depends on numerous variables. I take only 500 mcg k2-mk7 and eat natto 2 tbsp, which gives me another 300 mcg of k2-mk7 with enzyme Nattokianase. It helped me very well.

@@KnowledgeforQOL I doubt the so-called optimum range is even known for K2, and I don't believe the testing differentiates between the different mk forms.

Yes, I agree there is no normal or optimal range established yet. We are still learning more and more about this vitamin k2. Yes, you are correct. The test doesn't differentiate the form.

@@KnowledgeforQOLThank you for the answer. Glad to hear you are able to get better results by taking more Vitamin K2-MK7

The paper link (its second link) is provided in the description. It's a long paper, but look at the para under the title, importance of Vitamin k for Alzheimer's disease. It reads as ....This inverse relationship results from the fact that vitamin K in plasma is bound to chylomicrons and chylomicron remnants, which carry apolipoprotein E. Clearance of chylomicrons and their remnants from the circulation depends on ApoE’s binding to a hepatic receptor, and the rate at which this binding takes place is greatly influenced by ApoE genotype, occurring rapidly in people carrying one or two alleles for E4 and slowly in those whose genes encode E2. Thus, ApoE genotype significantly impacts blood levels of vitamin K, which are highest in E2, intermediate in E3 and lowest in E4..... I hope it is clear to you now. Let me know.

@@KnowledgeforQOL Thank You, you are providing very useful information. That is important. There can be theory and hypothesis but what interests me is practical application and demonstrated results. Thank you again.

I just subscribed to your channel.

You're welcome! Please see the other vlogs also. Each and every vlog is very important and based on literature and application evidence. This is about my journey in improving the quality of life for me and my family. Now, I am sharing this knowledge to the wider community after validating it through application. Share and spread the knowledge with others for their better understanding and quality of lives.

That was my thinking in 2021 as well. But the scientific literature taught me something different. If someone is with one copy of allele 2, then mk7 will be enough with two days gap or mk4 daily is preferred. Since these folks clear very slowly. Remember, half life of mk4 is about 4 hours, and mk7 is 72 hours. It means mk7 remains in the system longer than mk4. For allele 3 and 4 folks, mk7 is not an issue, but I would be careful with allele 2 folks. That's why may be in Japan, they prescribe 45mg of k2-mk4 as a standard dose for osteoporosis treatment. This dose is spread in 15mg three times a day.

Thankyou for this,I am apoe4 and 2. I have anaemia which I've been taking k2 and D a few days a week as co factors to my iron. Should I be taking alot more than I am taking? Do I need less d? I'm feeling confused and you seem knowledgeable

Apoe 4 needs more and Apoe2 needs less. So, in 4/2 case it will be mixed demand as per the literature. There is no established dosage yet for k2. You may need to consult with your doctor for your case. Preferably a functional medicine doctor or naturopath doctor.

Thanks, and you're welcome! Through this channel, you will always get validated knowledge, which I have used to improve the quality of life. Please take time to watch other vlogs as they are based on years of research, learning, and experience. I am certain you will gain a lot.

Thanks, it was helpful. Few of years ago, when I shared my Natto with Natto Dad to get his feed back and his reply was as follows: "Woah! Great strings!! Out of hundreds of videos and pics people send me, there are only a handful of people that reach this level of natto making. I have nothing else to show you. Welcome to the elite stringy natto club.
