I have plaque build up in my carotids. Its big question for me as to how that happened — plus whether or not the plaque is the dangerous soft plaque or the less dangerous hard plaque.

I’m thinking of going to a cardiovascular specialist. Its no cost since I’m on medicare plus supplemental insurance.

Then ask the guy to run some tests for me. I think if he prescribes the tests—then my insurance will cover it.

I’m reading a book by daniel trevor called the “unholy trinity” that refers to sugars carbs and the bad oils. In the back he has a group of tests inserted by a famous doctor—I’ve forgotten the guy’s name—maybe ford brewer—that will give a better definition of your cardio vascular health than what you get for your annual check ups.

My last numbers were kind of wierd. 47 ldl 48 hdl and about 9 for vldl. triglicerides were 43. I would think with those kind of numbers —I would not have a problem with plaque build up.

So I’m going to need more better testing.

Lowered LDL helps prevent buildup, but high HDL helps remove buildup.

Look into Arterosil, NanobacTX, or Endocalyx Pro.

Newer research seems to point to hard plaques being the more problematic concern:
