Increase Energy and Lower Cholesterol (2/3)

[haywards11]

Love your info. Doc!!

Just wondering if you could give an average idea of how much Vit. B's are needed per day for a 40 yr old male in a little above average health. Eating about 70% organic, takes a few natural supplements, doesn't smoke, and no fast foods and so. Looking for the initiation dose per day, then the maintainence dose after how long of the initiation dose.

Sterolyn has brought my triglycerides down to 145 mg/dl and my LDL down to 95 mg/dl! My doctor calls me "the freak of nature," haha. I plan to keep taking this forever. And hey, I'm enjoying my free subscription to Fitness magazine, it's part of an overall lifestyle change.

How can one administer Niacin to patients who are so fatigued they have consistent low blood pressure?? Niacin has a vasodilating effect and will exacerbate already low blood pressure. NADH seems to work better since it is a donor of high energy hydrogen.

Excellent comment! Flush-free niacin (inositol hexanicotinate) generally does not have the vasodilating effect of regular niacin. NADH, while relatively expensive for a supplement ($.70 per 5 mg tablet), is also an excellent source of NAD; I split the capsules in half -- 2.5 mg per day is a sufficient dose and for most adults and minimizes an afternoon energy "crash".

carbohydrates --> converted to glucose (liver) --> to incomplete oxidation -->becomes---> triglyceride or cholesterol?

Im a little confuse because carbohydrates can ultimately becomes fat Dr. ??

[ODoctorRotcodO]

Carbohydrates are oxidized to acetyl Coa which enters the Kreb's cycle -- IF the mitochondria are chock-full of B2, B3 and minerals (mag) to keep on burning into hydrogen. If the mitochondria are deficient, acetyl coA can become: fat, triglycerides, cholesterol or other acids such as ketones - they are all acid waste products due to incomplete oxidation! It is all there in the biochemistry books to SEE, if one has eyes to see!

What about taking the NADH supplements available? Does the body actually utilize this?? Thanks Doc!

[tigros999]

thanks for the info! so if i'm going to the supermarket today, do you have a list of dos and donts? yeast, bran, garlic, B3 thats it? like all-bran or what? i need specifics so i can get outta there fast, thanks a bunch!

[cynthiaall]

Is B2 & B3 used to metabolize only carbs??? What if you are on a low carb diet? Can B vitamins help metabolize protein and fat also?

[karkha2]

what you are doing is so important! There is a huge disconnect in what doctors are taught and what is best for us. Until recent years they were not even taught one class about nutrition! It's all about the drugs with them, administered with incomplete knowledge of the body's systems.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Very interesting.

Doctors wanted to put my mom on cholesterol lowering drugs for a 235 count at 73. They wanted it down to 185. We both agreed for her age that she was fine. And I'm so glad now that she didn't take the drug. I never realized it lowered CoQ10. I haven't trusted the medical community for nearly a decade and my reservations to do so just become more reinforced as time goes on. Thanks for a great video.
