Amazing answers, Dr. Paul. Wish you were my doctor, many are not so up-to-date as you. Fascinating about B12. 👏🇦🇺

I take my statins when I fly and have the flu or covid for their anti clotting effects – because viruses raise your risk of clots and so does flying. but I don’t take them all the time. I have zero CAC score, no inflammation and no neck artery atherescleoris that can be seen however my LDL is slightly high. So my doctor keeps prescribing them and I get them but I don’t use them all the time. – re vegan diets they do suit some people and yes I think our gut bacteria is to do with that, but not everyone does well. I’m one of those people who don’t do well on a vegan diet, extremely fatigued. I do a lot better on high animal diet – but also enjoy legumes, veggies, nuts etc – I do not apparently absorb non haem iron very well, but I need more choline than others I think. I did a DNA test and I have more need choline – something to do with methylation but I didn’t understand it, I just know I feel great eating a lot of eggs, dairy, meat, chicken etc. I also was at my best on a lower carb diet (not fat). I have no political affiliation with any diet, have tried all diets and this high animal omnivorous diet is best for me. I was fattest and tiredest, on a vegan diet, needed so many iron treatments my haematologist told me to stop. I was slimmest when when low carb, four dress sizes smaller than when on a vegan diet, and I have more energetic now than ever. But I love plants as well. I have vegan friends who do really well and don’t get anemic. Important to eat how you feel great not how the influencers tell you to eat. I’m very high protein 150g a day (over 60 grandma who lifts). K2 is in fermented cheeses like gouda.

Fascinating. So, as a person shifts from mainly running on carbs for energy to using mainly fats and ketones, there will be a transition period wherein ketone production rises, but the body can’t yet use all of them for energy and so passes the excess ketones out in urine.

As this is happening, the uric acid level in the blood temporarily increases because excess ketones displace uric acid for excretion in the kidneys.

As the body becomes more fat-adapted, ketones are utilized more efficiently and completely for energy. Thus, ketones are no longer excreted in the urine. And so to, uric acid levels return to baseline as it can then be excreted normally without competition from ketones in the kidneys.

Soil Mineralisation: I don’t recall whose video it was but I remember a video in which it was claimed that 2 separate & independent scientists had travelled the world testing soil and found that there was an absolute abundance of minerals in virtually ALL soils tested but the problem was the widespread use of Fungicides wiping out the Fungi which are necessary to break the minerals down into Bioavailable form which the plants could readily take up and utilise !

Statins are also a major cause of GLAUCOMA
