I was horrified to find out from reading papers after giving up statins after multiple life impacting side effcts that lipophillic statins can cross the blood brain barrier and lower ldl in the brain. There does not appear to be any reliable long term studies on this but have seen comments that says this may have an adverse effect on cognition. So glad I have come off this drug. Keep this good work up it needs much more publicity.

Having been diagnosed with familial hypercholesterolmia I appreciate the information on statins and FH, particularly for my age, 69. Sounds like FH is on my side at my age.

[@robyn3349]

Thank you! I had side effects, mental and physical, from a statin. My cardiologist does not believe in statin side effects except for Nocebo. I know what I experienced. I had side effects.

[@cathiemcginnis3997]

Of course you did! I know people who have lost their quality of life due to statins. I refused them and my Dr decided to end our relationship. I am so done with drs. There are none that I can find here in So Cal who care enough to keep up with the latest research.

[@gazels11]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@Corolla97ww]

Some surprising information from Dr Diamond - excellent video.

[@vadimesharak726]

BTW all statin related bulletins have the information that the patient should change the diet, though there is no details about to change to what diet. Another thing is that there are plenty human readable table with the percentage of lowering LDL-C etc but usually very convoluted chapter about medical drug studies.

[@CashMoneyMoore]

I believe in Framingham as well if you had high hdl low triglyceride your risk plummeted as well

[@petercat926]

Excellent video - thanks!

[@carols4013]

Do people with FH tend to have more allergies than those with low cholesterol?

[@urpils]

if it's only available on Spotify, it's no podcast. Could you make the RSS feed available for all the people, who use real Podcast-Apps?

[@lowcarbconferences]

We'll look at the RSS feed

[@carlacaliri5385]

Excellent video! Thank you. Could someone please share a link to any or some or all of the studies mentioned & referenced here. Many of us would truly like to have access to these studies so we can feel well prepared & equipped when meeting with our health care providers. I'm desperate. I need help. About a month ago, I've actually sent an email reaching out to Dr. David Diamond, as well as to Ben Bikman (I tried reaching out to Dr. Paul Mason too but my email wasn't getting through somehow perhaps because he's in Australia, I'm not sure why). But me email was regarding one specific study about statins not proving helpful for both primary as well as secondary CVD. My emails were just simply asking what exactly constituted a VLCD (Very Low Carbohydrate Diet) in their published research paper, but I've received no answer. My husband has been eating low carb but what in reality is "Low Carb" in order to prevent another heart attack? His ratios referred to in Dr Paul Mason's amazing presentation are stellar, he's not overweightat all, he doesn't smoke, noob diabetic etc. He doesn't want to take statins & the literature from Dr. Diamond, Ben Bikman & Dr. Paul Mason, that I've come across DOES in fact show NO VALUE in taking statins in this population in both primary & secondary CVD when on a VLCD but the question still remains in my husband's mind... ultimately... How much of carb restriction are we talking about here? We would just like to know how many TOTAL GRAMS OF CARBS per day were these subjects in these studies eating in order to notice these favorable results & outcomes without a STATIN? Nobody has responded to my emails asking this particular question. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP! Thank you for this video and many more but it would be nice to have access to these findings so we can share with our medical teams. And it would be super helpful if we knew specifically how much of a LOW CARBOHYDRATE was this? Anyone out there know the answer? Please

[@colinthomson5358]

A rough guide is low carb is about 100grams of carbs a day Keto is under 50grams of carbs Carnivore is basically 0 carbs (not really zero but close enough) So all of those things can be described as low carb. Another way or looking at it is carbs making up 0-10%of your diet. But I don't know the specifics from the papers that should be a good rough guide.

[@carlacaliri5385]

@@colinthomson5358 Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. I know my content was sooo long so I do appreciate your guidance. I really wish there was a way to get the actual information on the grams of daily carbs from these particular papers & findings that Dr. David Diamond, Ben Bikman & Dr. Paul Mason researched & published. I wish there was a way to get a reply from either one of these researchers/publishers. If you or you know anyone that knows how one could possibly get ahold of them, that would be incredibly wonderful. I'm at this very moment at the cardiac fitness clinic watching my dear husband work on strengthening his heart. I did email both Diamond as well as Ben Bikman but I've not heard from them. I've tried to get ahold of Mason but him being in Australia, any contact email I find just isn't being through. Anyone... please HELP! THANK YOU @colinthomson5358 again for replying.

[@sunwm2003]

@@carlacaliri5385its 20 grams of carbs can be called keto. 20 grams are the carbs in an small apple. If your husband really cares about his health, then don’t take any direct carbs, meaning no fruits, no grains or any other forms of direct carb. Good luck!

[@overcomer4226]

Carla there is an article called Defining low carb in the scientific literature: a scoping review of clinical studies In the article there is a table you can download which will outline all the carb counts . Carnivore is not in there. I know my opinion doesn't count, but for me.A low carbohydrate diet is less than fifty grams per day. If you have difficulty finding this, If you feel comfortable I can send you the link to an email address

[@overcomer4226]

I read the article by bikman, Mason, and the third author. I feel terrible.I can't remember who it is anyway. I looked at all of his references. That led me to a gary Taubes article. And the article I quoted you was the end of the line. I hope you find it and that it helps

[@Gray-Today]

Transcript, please.

[@pauldimaio8534]

It’s sort of a shame that the host doesn’t even understand the difference between absolute and relative risk. His notion that one involves an individual and one involves a population is complete nonsense. You need to understand both so you can assess the effectiveness of an intervention at a statistical level.

[@JeffryGerberMD]

Thanks for this. Honestly, if my comments are nonsense please explain. I've given this much thought. Statistics are there to quantify the real world and it's often difficult to explain statistics to the lay person. What I said: Absolute Risk - Provides risk data more applicable to the individual Relative risk - Provides risk data more applicable to the group I agree both are important. How would you suggest I explain this so people understand?

[@wocket42]

@@JeffryGerberMD I guess some things should not be oversimplified. one is taking the incident rate into account, the other is not. Low incident rates blow up perception of relative risk change. Use examples: If you buy two lottery tickets, you have increased your relative chance of winning millions by 100%, but your absolute chance remains very small. I think Dr. Seheult has a video where he uses airplanes and parachutes as examples.
