THE DEATH OF A REFERENCE
ATKINS AND THE FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
(Ye cannae change the laws of physics, Cap'n)
STATINS FOR CHILDREN – THIS IS MADNESS
WHY THE ATKINS DIET IS HEALTHY
LIQUID DRANO-LIKE SYNTHETIC “GOOD CHOLESTEROL” PLAQUE BUSTER! IT’S SCIENCE, BUT NOT AS WE KNOW IT
TELEOANALYSIS — OR WHEN I FINALLY REALIZED THAT I HAD FALLEN DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE
ATKINS MUST BE DESTROYED!
SO, WHAT DOES CAUSE HEART DISEASE?
HOW RISKY IS A RISK?
BEWARE THE PLACEBO EFFECT
TYPE ll DIABETES ISN’T A DISEASE?
IS HEART DISEASE ALL DUE TO BLOOD CLOTS?
IS IT ALL A BIG FAT LIE?
OKAY, DO YOU KNOW WHAT A "FAT" IS?
WHAT ON EARTH IS A LIPOPROTEIN?
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE: IT’S A SYMPTOM, NOT A DISEASE, STUPID!
TREATING HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE: WHAT CAN YOU BELIEVE?
THE JOY OF HYPERTENSION TRIALS
THE NEW HYPERTENSION GUIDELINES
IDIOTIC THINKING IN MEDICINE - C-REACTIVE PROTEIN.
(How The Medical Profession Will Turn A Symptom Into A Disease )
VIAGRA MORE EFFECTIVE THAN STATINS IN CVD PREVENTION?
Saturated fat causes heart disease? Pure bollocks – Kendrick!
"In short, if you eat fat, the VLDL level falls. If you eat carbohydrates the VLDL level rises. Which is pretty much what you would expect to see.
Moving the discussion on, as VLDLs are the only source of LDL. you now have a conundrum to solve. How can you connect saturated fat intake to a rise in LDL levels, when saturated fat consumption reduces VLDL synthesis? What is the mechanism? The mechanism does not exist!"

Assessing cardiovascular disease: looking beyond cholesterol - Kendrick, Malcolm - August 18, 2022
"We now have a greater understanding of the endothelial/glycocalyx function and how endothelial damage links to thrombus formation and lysis, and these new findings strongly suggest that Rokitansky, Duguid, Ross and Elspeth Smith, and others, may well have been correct.
Thus, whilst this article is entitled “Assessing cardiovascular disease: looking beyond cholesterol”, it may have been more accurate to call it, ‘Assessing cardiovascular disease, looking before cholesterol’, because the thrombogenic hypothesis precedes the cholesterol hypothesis by many years. It is fascinating that recent research now provides an increasing evidence base."
