This is what trillion dollar industries are based on. Did anyone mention a house of cards???

Our doctor explained that the AMOUNT he gets paid is affected by the compliance level to the rules (standard of care)

That’s interesting, I didn’t know that… I am unsure whether it is the same in Australia where I am, but it could be. If it is, no wonder I get a deep sigh when I say no.

Meanwhile, my brother had his heart attack with LOW Cholesterol numbers, High HDL… And his doctor actually said “But you have the bad kind of Cholesterol”, without running the NMR… Just because he had a heart-attack. (never mind the smoking, and alcohol… It was his special “bad” cholesterol).

For some people, alcohol consumption causes higher HDL (not for me, though). That’s where the trigs come in: he’d likely have high to very high trigs. Trigs + HDL are really just markers of metabolism.

I got same concern as you have. I got my blood results last Sunday, and my LDL sharply goes up from 2.18 mmol/L to 4.82 mmol/L while triges goes down and HDL not changed. My triges to HDL ratio is 0.89. Like you, I am trying to find a way (if possible) to lower my LDL, I have started doing exercise, I want to try if that could help. According to Dave Feldman, you and I should be the type of hyper-responder.

Exercise should raise your LDL, as you need more fat for fuel, and LDL is a fuel delivery vehicle in part.
