Comment on My Doctor told me I should be on statins even though my cholesterol is normal, what do you think? by starrychloe

1.8% – .9% / 1.8% = 50%. If you have 80% at risk, then go to 40% at risk, there is a nominal percentage drop of .40, but in percentage terms the risk is halved, so the drop is 50%. (.8 – .4 / .8) = .5. If you have 1000 people, then 1000 x .80 = 800, 1000 x .40 = 400, and so (800 – 400) / 800 = 50%.

I do agree that 120 people for this study did not seem large enough for 0.9% to be significant, because just one extra heart attack could throw the results off significantly.

Chris
Taking Melatonin in low doses, 1/2mg -2mg for short periods can help regulate sleep rhythms and should not shut down your body's own production of melatonin

Great post! People don't realize the connection to a healthy gut and their own health…especially the brain.

Great suggestions but the problem with taking melatonin, you shut down your body's own natural production of melatonin by causing atrophy of the pineal gland.

Jared

I agree with most of what your saying
I think your article is great

I would say people need to eat 'more' vegetables, not mostly
Saying 'mostly' is advocating a vegetarian or semi veg diet
which doesn't work for everyone and is not congruent with 'individualized'

Grass fed animal foods work wonders for many human beings

I think sleep (and individualized nutrition) are under appreciated in this culture
People are spent, they need more rest

I appreciate you stating your intent
Again, we agree on most and I support your work
I love your book, use it often and influenced many people to get it

peace
antonio
