Hello there,
I wanted to update you and hopefully figure things out. I have been on 1 scoop of cardio C for 8 months now. I had labs done last June or July? and then started on your recommended therapy. I was alarmed to see almost all my numbers worsened. My good cholesterol is still really good but it came down. I am so dissapointed and a bit nervous to say the least. I take 1 scoop everyday along with Vit K, Vit. D3, Selenium, Magnesium, Iodine drops (3) I also take progesterone and Armor thyroid. After my new labs came back I added niacin and good quality fish oil. I have been taking that for about 4 days.
Here is a break down how things changed6/14 4/15
Diabetes test were all good
Total Cholesterol 285 292
LDL-C 160 181
HDL-C 123 101
Triglycerides 93 63
NON-HDL-C 162 190
ApoB 124 149
Lp(a) 145 158
ApoA-1 279.9 180
hs-CRP 2.2 4.2
MPO 202 334
Lipid ratios are all optimal even with high cholesterol
Liver, etc test all optimal
Thyroid in range
Based on these numbers what do you think. I'm sure you are going to say I need to up dosage of Cardio C but how can even one dose not help somewhat? I didn't add this to the message boards as I didn't want to discourage any readers but I would love some feedback. I am almost out of my order and need to reorder but waiting to hear from you.
Thank you in advance for your help
First, no one should ever hesitate to post "bad numbers" or experience. This forum is virtually the only way we learn (together) about what happens on Pauling's therapy Second, I would give up quite a bit right now to have your cholesterol numbers! (But that is another topic.)
First, I doubt these are all measured values - look for "Calc" on the report and let us know which of these are calculated (rather than actually measured.)
I suspect the Lp(a) is Calculated, and please provide the Lp(a) units and range on the report. Thanks!
And yes, from Pauling/Ginter, your total numbers (if mesaured) indicate that you require more vitamin C, but if no evidence of heart disease, then it could be regular vitamin C in addition to your "preventive" dosage of Cardio-C.
If that Lp(a), on the other hand, is measured and the units are ml/dl - then you need to be taking at least one more serving of Cardio-C (Lp(a) Binding Inhibitors.)
I look forward to your post with the Lp(a) answers.
