What are the cholesterol numbers that you believe to be most correct for most people.
HDL? LDL? Ratio? Thanks, TY
Also I have NASH. What do you recommend as far as a liver cleanse? etc. Thanks again
Currently, no specific therapies for NASH exist, although research on the disease continues. Adhering to the following recommendations may be helpful in managing NASH:
- losing weight (in persons who are obese or overweight);
- achieving control of hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia;
- following a balanced and healthy diet;
- increasing physical activity;
- avoiding alcohol; and
- avoiding unnecessary medications.
The cholesterol guidelines are very clear. Tremendous research and quality information. Forget about HDL and ratios, it won't help you manage the situation.
Focus on LDL. Keep your LDL WAY below 130, preferably as close to 100 as you can. Diet can do it, but it takes work. Pills do it for sure and are safe and effective and have been one of the leading causes in the dramatic reduction in strokes and heart attacks! A good (not insane) diet plan along with a tiny dose of lipid lowering medicine and you'll live a long and healthy life.

MSS,
I'm not sure I understand your question or the case. Are you saying that this otherwise healthy young woman complained to her doctor that she was tired and had headaches and there was no work up and she was sent home?

Because no risk factors were present, based on great AMA studies, standard test (by AMA studies) did not reveal anything-- therefore she was just too involved with 3 kids and other activities. This was the reason for the headaches and tiredness. This by two good different Dr.s -- AND AFTER THE FACT BOTH said
over and over she HAD NO RISK FACTORS.
My point is way too much attention is applied to AMA and other studies and not enough to looking for causes.
I guess my real question to you is are you putting way too much faith in these studies ??
By the way, thru the grace of GOD, she is so far surviving non-small cell lung cancer.

You just made my point...IF THEY FIT A CERTAIN PROFILE.................. if they were in the appropriate age range.
You and I both know that in many cases medical history is not worth a s%^t.

btw: Standard treatment for bladder cancer is to remove it.
Five years ago I told them to shove it, a good DR. said, well lets try something else.
You DR.s have got to start thinking "outside the box"--
Go save a life, best to you.
