Cholesterol Numbers Reconciliation

Among the 500 or more functions of the liver is cholesterol processing from bile.

Have you ever tried to find a Canadian write-up on acceptable levels of cholesterol? There is lots of American literature on Cholesterol out there for Canadians to read. I tried for years to find out how to reconcile those two sets of figures and if the Sickness Care people knew, they weren’t telling. It didn’t even seem to bother them that they didn’t know. I began to wonder if they were stonewalling me.

Even the Wellness people didn’t seem excited about not knowing how to reconcile those two sets of numbers.

I finally found the way to reconcile the numbers. Here it is!
To convert American cholesterol numbers to Canadian numbers, divide by 38.7
If you have the Canadian numbers to change them to American numbers, multiply by 38.7.

When I learn more about cholesterol, I’ll tell you about it. Right now I’m just working on that saying that goes…’if you want to really learn something, teach it, or at least share it’.

Oh, something else, Statins deplete your CoQ10 which your heart needs to keep beating.

Back in the 90’s, one of the Statin makers got a patent on a combo of their Statin and CoQ10. You’re not granted a patent for no reason at all.

But, the reason they were granted the patent was not the reason they got it, apparently. It seemed like they were making their product helpful to the user, but they never put that combo product on the market and neither could anyone else.

So, if I were taking Statins, according to the drug company that got that patent, it seems to me that it would be a super good idea to supplement with CoQ10 as well.

Fancy that! I’m agreeing with a drug company and the patent office...mostly the patent office. Statins need CoQ10. So why doesn’t your M.D. tell you about that?
