@777jeru Moreover, I said nothing about cell walls providing a ‘balanced oxidation’. Maintaining the electrical charge on the lumen is a totally different – it is electrophysiological. I can show you – give me your email – 4D MRI video of the flow of blood through the aorta. The blood SPIRALS in a vortex as it is ejected. Blood is a colloid – charged particles (ions, minerals, e.g. K+, Ca++, Mg++) move in an irrotational vortex to maintain a charge on the lumen. This repels unpaired electrons.
@777jeru We don’t reverse cholesterol by ‘balancing oxidation’ (which contributes to free radical damage) with anti-oxidants. You are confused. Cholesterol may lowered simply by controlling carb intake in two ways. One: don’t overload the liver’s (and the muscles’) glycogen capacity. Two: Slow down the absorption rate of glucose into the bloodstream (avoid insulin spikes and avoid inflammation) by combining carbohydrates with fat and protein. (Fat, fiber, and protein slow the absorption rate)
@777jeru – This is part 2 of my reply to you. …..chylomicrons, triglycerdides, and VLDL. The excess is produced in the liver, and usually people who overeat carbs and overfill the body’s glycogen stores usually spike the blood sugar and and insulin which produces inflammation. The two run together almost always. Practically nobody here explains the physiology. Don’t confuse Ignorance with stupidity – but most people are clueless about biochemistry and physiology.
777jeru. Why did the little Dutch boy stick his finger into the dike? To plug the leak of course. The lumen of the vessel must first be damaged – (like nicking the paint on a car and exposing the bare metal so the metal may then begin to oxidize) – in order to initiate the beginning assist plaque buildup. The actual increase of LDL occurs in the liver – mainly when the liver is overloaded with glycogen/carbohydrate. (Cup runneth over) The excess is converted into palmitic acid, chylomicrons
@EVWatson1 So your saying that by oxidizing the body, that cholesterol can be reversed? All because the cell walls in the body can’t produce enough balanced oxidation?……All due to free electron radicals lowering the bodys enzyme levels? “Am i correct?”
research: cholesterol myth (here on youtube).
he didnt even blink once when he explained everything
that Dr’s face doesnt change in the slightest….. wind changed….forget a heart attack..with a heart stopping….. this Dr has had a face attack… .all expression has stopped… someone give him recusitation and pump his face back alive..

Who here thinks meatloaf needs a smack in the mouth? Hopefully the mental slaps I’m gonna sens him back under the rock with his tail between his scrawny legs. You cur, get out of here.
Electrophysiological conditions (due to zeta potential of the blood) precede and run concomitant to inflammation and oxidation. This part I am sure is beyond the horizon for most people. I’m a physiologist, and I know more than you do and I’m probably smarter. I already know about the cells needing cholesterol to synthesize hormones and macrophages – that’s 101 stuff. Why do we see plaque attach in the ‘bend’ and arches of arterial walls?
Meatloaf, you don’t get it. Kinesiology is technically the study of movement. Strike one for you and there’s more fastballs coming so you better duck. Did you not see I said “rhetorical”? Dummies like you respond to a rhetorical device without knowing the meaning of the word; STRIKE TWO, swing you dummy, quit looking and get the bat off your shoulder. So who is a moron? Generatrix is closer to the physiological function than you are. He knows the cell wall must be oxidized, i.e. damaged.
Diet will make 1/3 difference if you only change your diet by 1/3. If you eat a 100% whole food plant based diet, heart disease is reversed 100%, take a look at Esselstyn’s study: In the 8 years before the study, 18 patients had a total of 49 cardiac events, in the 12 years of the study (on a 100% plant based diet) there were 0 cardiac incidences. How else do you define “cure”?
If doctors receive little to no nutrition training then they could not administer drug to you. Doctors studies all fields related to health. They all know the stuff.
Unlike a moron like you.
EVwatson you are a fucking moron.
LDL attaches to the wall because your body cells need cholesterol to synthesize certain hormones. LDL is too thick to get through aterial walls and cholesterol receptor hormones get blocked from the LDL. As more LDL gets clumped together and your macrophages comes in to clean up the mess, the macrophages becomes a fat cell itself since it cannot digest the LDL. More get stuck and plaque forms.
Fucking take a kinesiology class before talking bullshit.
LDL is not a patch, its just another carrier of cholesterol. LDL carries cholesterol to cells, HDL from the cells to liver to be recycled, not eliminated.
Healthy (not oxidized) cholesterol is recycled.
Cholesterol gets lodged in a cell wall b/c it too small. Normal cholesterol is too large to get stuck then oxidize into plaque.
Diet determines the size of the cholesterol particles.
Doctors are conditioned to sell drugs, not heal people.
Why does lipoprotein attach to the wall in the first place? Think people. The aterial wall must first be damaged. If LDL is low, does this mean lipoprotein will not attach to the wall? (rhetorical) Again, the wall MUST be damaged. Why does the wall breakdown… that’s the better question to ask…and a topic for people who think. Get with it people! Lipoprotein is a patch for a damaged wall. You must look into why this happens if you want to ever advance your already meager understanding.
It’s a great opportunity to watcht this video!!! You learn something great!!! Aha please watch my videos also!!!
cholesterol plays an important part in the formtation of my many many chins
As an osteopathic medical student, I would have to disagree with your comment. We receive nutritional information integrated into each system we cover rather than just one course on its own. Our first 8 hours of cardiology were spent learning about atherosclerosis and hyperlipidemia–and how to prevent those things from happening, not just treat them. Diet is, unfortunately, only 1/3 of what determines cholesterol levels; the others are exercise and genetics.
maybe he has health disease that you don’t know about. don’t assume that because he is a little overweight doesn’t mean he is lazy or doesn’t exercise.
Doctors get A LOT more than just a few hours of nutrition classes….as a soon to be nurse I have had many hours of nutrition training…I can promise you…doctors get a LOT more training than we do…plus..they delve much deaper into the physiology of it than even nurses…thats not to say that they are experts..but they do deserve a lot of respect…they earned it!
When it comes to lowering cholesterol, doctors are quite ignorant. They receive a couple of hours in nutrition training so they have no idea how effective a low fat vegan diet is at lowering cholesterol levels. Dr. Esselstyn will tell you his cholesterol level at the beginning of his presentations. Proof of his credibility. He used to do surgery, now he teaches nutrition.
