This is a really important video! This Doctor is astonishingly clever! Thank you.

[@OneHumaneBeing]

A really clear metaphor: relating high cholesterol blocking blood vessels like construction wood blocking a walkway. Thank you doctor. I will look into your supplement.

[@Casey-rr7th]

Great content! Can you recommend a red yeast rice supplement please?

[@givingvoice1]

ALL my labs are beautiful and perfect, except triglycerides. They are always around 20points too high. I finally started on DURABLE, a really well structured red yeast rice supplement by a doctor, 1600mg a day, and the reviews are super.

[@kathleencampisano8079]

I had problems with statins so my cardiologist recommended that I try Red Yeast Rice and my cholesterol dropped 70 points!

Good content. What’s are some of the side effects of red yeast .

[@admcmahon2]

I cannot take statins as I get Rhabdomyolysis symptoms pronto...not good. Did not matter what statin I used...I even reacted to the red yeast rice, which then learned it was Lovastatin. Great video.

And yet physicians still recommend it to their patients! They don't bother to do a simple Google search and educate themselves.

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

My whole life I had low thyroid. Since I had it from childhood, I didn't recognize my symptoms as anything other than my normal. In my 50's my liver stopped making bile and my dr. ordered blood work. My TSA was "over 100". I also have high cholesterol, in spite of eating very little animal products. My liver is broken, so my cholesterol is high. Those things that lower cholesterol can further damage my already broken liver. Nutrition is hard.

[@johnnymac7261]

Love all your videos! Thanks for sharing.

[@Cinnamonrollseveryday]

Very informative and natural alternative Doc. Physicians here in America have scripts to fill for their own sake financially as well as the majority of people here do have time or the will to diet, exercise, and or eat right. Thank you for the video 😊

[@Healthyimmunedoc]

American physicians don’t make any financial money for writing scripts. That’s actually illegal.

[@Healthyimmunedoc]

We are also evaluated by outcome metrics and so it’s in a physicians best interest for ALL of our patients to do well.

Search Results AI Overview AI Overview    +2 Yes, physicians can receive payment for writing prescriptions in the United States, but there are restrictions:    Illegal remuneration It's illegal for a physician to receive payment for prescribing or recommending a drug that will be paid for in part or in whole by a federal health care program. This includes cash, kickbacks, rebates, discounts, and alcohol.  Gray area Pharmaceutical companies can give benefits to doctors in other ways, such as paying them to promote multiple products in their line. For example, doctors can receive payment for speaking at events, attending conferences, or providing consultancy services.    Transparency Payments should be transparent, and physicians should report the fee to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).  Open Payments The Open Payments reporting system, created by the “Sunshine Act”, has made public all financial transfers greater than $10 in value from drug and device manufacturers to US physicians.  Some evidence suggests that industry payments can influence how doctors treat their patients. For example, doctors who receive industry information, free drug samples, or direct contact with industry salespersons are more likely to prescribe the paying company's drugs.

Red yeast definately reduce cholestoral but got contain citrinin that got side effect orher organ. But red yeast with no or minimal citrinin

[@Battery-kf4vu]

There is also the issue of HDL functionality. It seems that when HDL is damaged its efflux capability is less effective. Some studies that have tried to raise HDL have failed, but maybe it's because the treatment decreased the functionality. Would there be some food that can improve HDL functionality?

[@mindmybusynassm1645]

Thank you for the vast info. Strangely it is so hard to find almost any practical information on how to prepare and how much daily of the red yeast rice to consume. Any help on it?

[@buckscountyjoe765]

It still has similar side effects of lovastatin!!!

I saw the same thing at blank sandwich places and when I randomly told my doctor what I saw and she told the real dangers of that and that was last I bought my mom a sandwich for lunch from that chain of stores.

It’s well documented that approximately 50% of people who have had heart attacks had low LDL. Seems like high LDL isn’t an accurate measure of cardiac risk.

[@Healthyimmunedoc]

It isn’t. There are lots of factors that contribute to a stressed heart. There is no perfect marker. Btw are 1.7 million people in the US who get sepsis every year…the majority of these people have poor blood flow. You don’t need to have a sick heart to have poor blood flow.

[@MPricci-xj2xj]

I was told by a doctor who did a blood test that I am allergic to yeast. I have had rashes from very fresh breads and pizzas. So, I assume that this red yeast rice is not something that I should not try. Please advise.

[@McKenzieRiverGirl]

If you have intolerance to statins (muscle pain, inflammation, etc...) then red yeast rice is perhaps not for you. As the presenter says, it produces the same substance as the active chemical in statin medications. At least for me, it produced the same painful side effects.

So, are you saying it's safe to add this to your diet

[@homomorphic]

Your fundamental assumption (which is incorrect) is that the presence of more serum cholesterol is correlated with increase in plaque formation *without* the presence of the *cause* of plaque formation. Cholesterol is *not causal* in plaque formation. It is merely contributory, when the cause is present. Tbe cause of plaque formation is blood vessel insult. There are multiple ways in which blood vessel insult can occur, but the most common reason is inflammation induced insult due to chronic fructose poisoning. If there is no vessel insult there can be no plaque formation, regardless of level of serum cholesterol.

[@Healthyimmunedoc]

The number one cause of blood vessel inflammation is blood pressure. The areas that I get the most trauma are arterial bifurcations.

[@homomorphic]

@@Healthyimmunedoc high blood pressure is mostly caused by high uric acid levels which is the result of chronic fructose poisoning. Ask me how I know. In any case, the point is that it is vessel insult that is causal in plaque formation, not the material that happens to be what plaque is made from. It's as ridiculous a concept as saying wood is the cause of houses.

[@nenem.5165]

So you’re saying cut out all sugar from your diet?

[@homomorphic]

@@nenem.5165 I am saying keep daily absorbed fructose within the livers ability to completely metabolize it in 24 hrs. That varies based on the individual and their state of health, but somewhere below 8g/day ( equivalent of 4 tsp of table sugar) is a good estimate. It is difficult to know how much fructose is actually absorbed, but I keep the amount that passes my lips at under 16g of fructose and all of that (with the exception of 8floz of tart homemade Kombucha) is from whole fruit (granny smith apple and berries) with the assumption of 50% absorbtion rate for the whole fruit and a 100% rate for the (low sugar) Kombucha. As Dr. Liu has mentioned in other videos, whole fruit packages fructose in such a way that a significant percentage ends up being metabolized by microbes and is not absorbed. Of course it is very hard to estimate what that level is, because it depends on many factors, but an estimateof 50% is probably a decent rule of thumb. Also, since you use the term sugar I need to make clear that I am referring specifically to fructose. Glucose is a nutrient, fructose is a toxin. While it is cetainly possible to consume excess glucose; fructose is a toxin, and there is no benign level of fructose (just a level that the liver can likely process without harm). There are metabolic pathways in a dysfunctional metabolism where fructose can be synthesized endogenously; but of course, all sorts of pathogenic pathways are enabled when the metabolism is broken.

[@staceydickinson8021]

I've had high cholesterol for many years.. tried red yeast rice because I refused to take statins.. had no results after 90-day blood test.. perhaps I needed to take it longer? I do take 2,400 mg a day of Kori brand krill oil. It has helped bring down the levels but not as much as I would have hoped. Perhaps taking the krill oil and red yeast rice together might be a good combo?

[@Peshur]

Curious why you don't want to take statins?

[@eugeniaherkamto6342]

Dr. Liu: I have been taking Red yeast rice to lower my cholesterol and it worked but because I have chronic hepatitis B my doctor said "I have to take a lower dose once a day" What do you think about that? Is it true that because I have chronic hepatitis B I will have bad side effects by taking Red yeast rice on a regular basis? I am looking forward to hearing from you.

back when the doctor was called a sawbones and the blacksmith pulled teeth, pringles were unavailable. there was bloodletting. there were lobotomies and electric shocks. food and medicine had yet to be industrialized. safety measures were developing as needed through hindsight. I'm now 76. If I knew then...

[@Calivanlivin]

If it contains the same "statins" as the pharmaceutical statins, then you can end up with the same bad side effects. That's what I've read and why I stopped taking red yeast rice.

Bravo! Thank you for pointing this hypocracy in our so called health system. Now go after the robberbarron insurance comapnies. Healthcare should not be for profit! We need Medicare for all!

[@Healthyimmunedoc]

Medicare is an insurance company.

[@jonap5740]

@@Healthyimmunedoc It is, but I think the point is that it would be a great start. It beats paying 2K per month on top of taxes.

[@admcmahon2]

@@jonap5740 it is not as great as you think. My coverage was better with the insurance I had when I worked vs now with Medicare. And that is after working with my Medicare advisor and changing plans more than once. Many procedures that I have to get done are paid out of pocket as a result.

[@honeybee12566]

@@Healthyimmunedoc That's not what Medicare for All is. Medicare for All was the name of a bill put forth by Bernie Sanders, to convert our medical insurance system to a single payer system. That would have given access to the same level ov medical care to all of us, not just the people who can afford the best insurance. It would also have included mental health, vision, teeth, and hearing.

This video is confusing. Not sure if you're recommending to try red yeast rice over statins or if you're saying be careful of it b/c of contaminants? Keto made my Cholesterol LDL climb through the roof. So I stopped Keto and started a supplement called Berberine. Waiting for my next round of blood tests to see If it lowers my LDL.

[@nenem.5165]

I have been taking berberine for a year now. Didn’t lower my ldl but it’s working great on keeping my glucose low so it’s a win win situation for me.

I have a legit question: if cholesterol helps your body make vitamin D, and I have too much of it, why am I deficient in vitamin D? Not trying to be a pain here, just trying to understand.
