How about a person like myself who's vertebrae degenerated from the radiation and chemotherapy used to defeat cancer? Despite careful application destroying the disease I still ended up "extra crispy" instead of "traditional recipe", finding the bone structure no longer able to support weight.

The VA and Vanderbilt Medical installed an amazing titanium skeletal support structure that's surpassed expectations so much I'm OFF disability and working full time again. Which makes me an idiot - but the work pays better than disability and I can't stand uselessness.

So my laymen question is 'How does this new insight about cellular oxygen usage actually help people?' or is this yet another paper from people trying to publish over perish?

And why DO you post so many medical articles that are obviously geared to those far more specialized in your field than most people here can comprehend? Is it some sort of ego validation thing for your personal benefit or what?

I strive for the opposite, trying to make the complicated understandable to most people in a way that garners their further interest rather than make them feel stupid.

Is this common surgery now?

I post write ups that describe something just found that can be useful to people. Your doctors don’t even have this information, unless they also read the breaking news sites, like I do. I only post items people can quickly utilize, as opposed to things yet to come in the future, for the lists I ping.

As I already digested for you, LDL, specifically oxidized LDL, is implicated in back degeneration. As I also stated, reducing LDL or oxidized LDL should be helpful.

The rest is there for support. I already gave you what mattered, so why are you bothered that I posted something immediately useful, from the write up on the study? You don’t have to read a thing but my comments and follow them, to get the “good stuff.”
