Sleep Apnea: An immune disorder

The conventional wisdom is that sleep apnea (SA), a condition that more than 5% of the American population and is associated with markedly increased risk of heart attacks and strokes, is a mechanical disease. Those with it are frequently overweight with short and thick necks. However, there is increasing evidence that SA is another immune disorder associated with inflammation. Inflammation and sleep apnea I strongly believe that PURSOR would remit SA. Do look at this review: serotonin rx of same

LDL lowered to level compatible with CAD regression

Cholesterol levels markedly improved. Three months ago, LDL was 102. Today, 72. This is a highly significant drop.

Since stent for LAD lesion in May '07, intensive lipid lowering pharmacologic therapy (statin and niacin) had been successful. However, LDL had stabilized at ~100. Last evaluation had been 5/08 (102). While improved from pre-stent levels still not sufficiently decreased to expect regression of CAD lesions or even stabilization.

I expected an improvement in LDL levels. I did not expect results would take place in less than a month. To my surprise, LDL drawn 8/2 was 72. This is a statistically highly significant decrease with a p < 0.01.

An increase in 5-HTP, glutamate supplements and Canola oil are the only changes in Rx. Dr. Kashi may be finally impressed.
