Ellie proves to be a very natural interviewer and teases out fascinating details from her interviewees. Plus she drops done great teasers - the Ruth books have just been optioned for the 5th (?) time for tv. Surely they’ll go to the final stage this time and get filmed. There’s an avid audience gif them out here. Sixteen years later he wrote a book in which he did exactly that. He was summoned again and found guilty; in a gesture of mercy, the Inquisition only sentenced him to house arrest for life. Aside 3 – at church, the (elderly) priest and myself are the only ones who don’t wear a mask all the way through (my Mum and Aunt didn’t wear one going in but put them on insides – apparently this is to help the others feel comfortable).

deaths in vaccine arm, one of which was covid-related…this gives us the baseline in the covid era of 16 deaths, leaving 5 excess deaths I guess this is where lifestyle factors really matter : reducing unmanageable stress? Diet modification? What’s the role of exercise, and should people do who can’t? Nice to know my BMI is right in the sweet spot. I shall have lamb chops with a glass of red this evening and try to be happy. So what you are saying is the very nature of blood, and the balance in its interactions between tissue in our body both keeps us alive but also sends us on our path to eventual destruction?

It is also widely accepted that thrombus formation, on top of an already existing plaque, can make plaques suddenly jump in size. Here, for example, is a passage from a paper in the journal Atherosclerosis. This is about as mainstream a publication as you can get in cardiovascular disease research. The paper was called: ‘ The role of plaque rupture and thrombosis in coronary artery disease.’

I’m in the middle of the book and it’s very well done, as expected. One question that has come to mind is at one point you say that they haven’t found a way to lower LP(a), but I’ve read at least one study saying evolocumab lowers LP(a). Interestingly, that study also says that the quartile with the highest LP(a) was at the highest risk for CVD events, irrespective of LDL levels. But that doesn’t seem to get any comment. In fact, I am being slightly disingenuous here. I had been thinking about blood clots for many years, but in a rather uninformed and directionless way. Many moons ago, when I was a medical student at Aberdeen, I was briefly taught cardiology by Dr Elspeth Smith. In a small group tutorial, she mentioned to us fresh faced students that LDL cannot penetrate the endothelium. Bing!

This book has appeared at a very opportune time, from the medical point of view. Too late for many I fear, but it may help to save some. Ebola patients experience a breakdown in endothelial barrier integrity that leads to massive fluid losses and vascular collapse.’ 3 Let’s ask Dr. Bernstein in american units (which I find better than “mules”). Glucose content 83mg/dl equals with 50 dl of blood to 4,15g of glucose and with 4kcal/g (not 5) we have 16,6 kcal. Of course this is like “risk factor promilles”; how close to 5L is the human blood content, considering size differences.

The Clot Thickens: The enduring mystery of heart disease

so much of this nonsense happening in this world today when boiled down by the likes of Dr Zalenko and Dr Malone and many, many others (including our Doc) reveals the obvious truth. I’d like to know more about Body Mass Index and longevity as studies conclude that overweight people fare best. Paywalls make enquiry difficult. I’m beginning to wonder about the entire voting process. It’s the people who count the votes who matter. I’ve been thinking about starting a podcast of my own for a while now, where I talk to the most interesting and original thinkers in health and medicine. I listen to a lot of medical and health science podcasts, and there are some that are truly excellent, such as The Drive with Peter Attia, Ivor Cummins’ Fat Emperor podcast, and the Diet Doctor podcast with Bret Scher, but they’re still far too few to keep me satisfied. There are of course many more, often organized by the big medical journals themselves, which are also ok, but they shy away from interviewing the people with really groundbreaking things to say, because those things often fall outside of the current dominant dogmas. And as we know, the big medical journals are all about maintaining the status quo.

This was a paradigm: a comprehensive way of explaining things that was very hard to challenge. Galileo challenged it when he got his first telescope and saw that Jupiter had moons of its own (so everything did not revolve around the Earth); Venus had phases, with the same implication; and the Moon had mountains, showing it wasn’t just an ornamental bauble bu a planet like Earth. What about the suggestion that Cytomegalovirus maybe implicated in the development of cardiovascular disease ? It also clarifies the reason why we are seeing heart disease and blood clots in COVID virus and vaccination – the spike protein is directly toxic to the endothelium. I don’t think I’m alone in being permanently stressed by the insanity of responses to the covid ‘threat’ all over the world. The global obsession with jabbing entire populations has fractured our social networks and families. My wife’s brother refuses to speak to us & has decided that we are ‘anti-vaxxers’. He doesn’t ‘do’ science, so proper conversation was impossible in any event.

Thanks Malcolm, for a wonderful book that pulls the contents of your many blogs on CVD together. A few points stood out for me: A couple of weeks age I asked you a couple of questions about Lp(a), and you, very reasonable suggested my questions revealed that I had not read your latest book. I am now at Chapter 2, and I realise my questions were not that bright, and what I learned is very interesting. A regular Vit C taker for at least forty years, I am hoping it has protected me up til now. As a GP in Australia, working in a practice with about 20 others, the general belief is that cholesterol is still the cause of cardiovascular disease. They all use the local cardiovascular risk calculator and put their patients on statins. But… having said this I have read in Dr Aseem Malhutra’s book the Pioppi diet (which doesn’t get into the science too much) that olive oil has properties that help endothelial cells repair. So obviously there is much more to avoiding CVD than 4 tablespoons of the all mighty olive oil, but in the context of Dr K’s process approach, I definitely would be curious if its recommended as something inthe diet. Dr K has so far said a few things explicity – such a proteins and vitamin C are highly recommended as they too help rebuild damaged tissue. A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it”.So, if you reduce blood lipids (lipoproteins?), you reduce MIs by a lot? But not death?? What’s with that??? I like to wear a mask when i go shopping because, grumpy old misanthrope that I am, i’ve come to enjoy the anonymity it gives me. I tried wearing goggles too but they kept steaming up and i kept walking into the produce in the supermarket. Regarding arteries and veins, this is going to be a kind of a question. Your question in your book was, why not plague in veins. The first episode is coming on October 20th, just in time to celebrate the re-publication of Elly's first Ruth Galloway mystery, THE CROSSING PLACES. I think that I have done the same for diabetes (in all of its forms), by the way. Would like to publish a book at some point, by digesting all of the research literature in all of the separate and disparate underlying fields of study (of the biology), but am not sure if I will be able to muster the effort while I still concentrate upon making a living as a career-long self-employed professional. The problem with all of these “conditions” and their underlying biology is that the most important researchers (with precious few exceptions) know nothing, or next to nothing, of the work of their counterparts in others of the underpinning seminal fields. They do not read the literature from their counterparts. They are not curious, nor evidently capable, to develop a full systemic understanding of the biological “systems” involved. As Tom Seyfried and you have.
