labs summer 2014


My chronic dislike for table salt is showing up in low Na and Cl ! (lol)
And look at the iron..... no wonder I am tired all the time! (Gotta boost that up a bit)

 But the HDL is over the top.....
The LDL is in line (I'll take it)
And if anyone wants to do the ratios I will take that, too!

 Triglycerides - yep! Who needs fancy meds when the real offender is Fructose!
Yes - Fructose. They say now that Fructose makes Triglycerides!

 And you know I eat red meat like all day, every day....
And all the bacon, eggs and cheese I can!

    The total cholesterol is higher because the HDL is so high!

    My Total Cholesterol/HDL ratio is: 1.96 - (preferably under 5.0, ideally under 3.5) IDEAL!

    My HDL/LDL ratio is: 1.189 - (preferably over 0.3, ideally over 0.4) IDEAL!

    My triglycerides/HDL ratio is: 0.619 - (preferably under 4, ideally under 2) IDEAL!

    Congrats, nice numbers. Do they have a number to differentiate between LDL particles size? Small dense vs big, fluffy & harmless? Always nice to get the blood markers to verify that we know what we're doing. On salt, have you tried sea salt? I use Himalayan Pink sea salt. Also a lot of people use kosher salt but I don't have experience with that.
    Keep fighting the good fight Anne!

    I did not do the VAP this time, but my VL DL is 14 – so I'll take it

    To be honest, although I am on statins as I have a stent, I would not be keen to take statins just because my Cholesterol was high i.e. >5.0.

    I read a book by a Dr called 'The Great Cholesterol Con' by a Malcom Kendrick.

    I would recommend it to get an alternative view of the danger of cholesterol
