LP-LDL - cholesterol killer?3 Mar 2018 12:46
Being sound -ish, in both mind and body, I went against the grain and bought some 'internet drugs' to test on myself without medical supervision (idiot); LP-LDL to be precise (OptiBiotix inside).
I thought you might like to know the results of my test starting with the fact that I didn't die or suffer in any way (grand !). I tracked my blood pressure during the test but as these measurements 'were all over the place' I couldn't really read anything into that. On the other hand, I can confirm that I started and ended my test with blood tests, the first of which was taken on a morning, the final test on an evening (having recently eaten). My combined cholesterol started out at :-
210, of which 57 hdl
153 non-hdl
3.68 ratio tot. chol./HDL-chol
and 134 calculated LDL.
After 90 days (capsules), combined cholesterol was :-
185, of which 40 HDL
145 non hdl
4.63 ratio tot. chol./HDL-chol
AND 109 calculated LDL !!! (All Units mg/dL)
Please feel free to take these results whichever way you wish. I am not a qualified medic. I am however, interested to hear any of your opinions/conclusions which will probably be more meaningful than my own. (e.g. have I added another 10 years to my lifespan???).
I look forward to hearing from you all.
Many thanks, and good luck all Opti-holders.
