Part 5: CVD Populations (BMA Leeds)

[MrWyKnot]

I watched the first video in this series in 2007, not realizing that there were 5 parts. I was blown away at the time. I am even more impressed by these follow on segments which I find very convincing in their indication of stress as the key factor in the development of heart disease. I will begin my own anti-stress therapy now. I think that as much research and money should be put into de-stressing techniques as are now given to drug creation and drug trials.

You've changed MY mind, Malcolm! I've read your book and am enormously grateful for all the work you put into it. You have a hilarious sense of humor AND all the irrefutable facts you present are backed up. I love your book, eggs, steak, butter, coconut oil, bacon... and you ain't too bad yourself. :)

Very, very interesting comments about social dislocation. Isolation has already been identified as a huge factor in heart disease (literally dying of a broken heart) so this idea would follow on.

In an ideal world what would those in power do with this information?

I don't know thise in power, but we are interested in documenting the causes and treatment of "heart diseases". 2 points -

Cholesterol is not a cause and may be beneficial!

Statins are probably very damaging and certainly not suitable for primary prevention.

As a mother of a young daughter and baby boy I treat saturated fats as nutrients and look on cholesterol as a good thing. Have you found you've been able to change many opinions of your colleagues in the medical world?
