The Importance of the Lipid Profile Test

Understanding your heart health is crucial, and a lipid profile test is a key part of that. This simple blood t est measures various types of fats in your blood, including cholesterol and triglycerides. Here’s why it's essential:

Assessing Cardiovascular Risk: High cholesterol, especially LDL cholesterol, can lead to plaque buildup in your arteries, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Early detection through a lipid profile test allows for preventive measures.

Monitoring Treatment Effectiveness: If you're on medications or making lifestyle changes to manage cholesterol, regular lipid profile tests help track progress and adjust treatments as needed.

Detecting Lipid Disorders: Lipid profile tests can identify disorders like hyperlipidemia and hypertriglyceridemia, which might not show symptoms but can impact your heart health over time.

Comprehensive Health Assessment: Abnormal lipid levels can signal underlying conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, or liver disease, prompting further investigation and treatment.

Personalized Health Planning: Your test results help healthcare providers create tailored health plans, including diet, exercise, and medications, to lower cholesterol and improve heart health.

Powrót do chudości.

Wracam, już nie jako h3llodvrling lecz eatiess. Ten rok był dla mnie pełen zmian ktore są totalnie nie do opisania. Nie będę tutaj wracać do przeszłości i mówić jak było mi ciężko i jak to zajadałam stres że przytyłam 11 kg. Teraz wyglądam jak spasła świnia i zaczeła mi to wytykać nawet własna matka dlatego wiem, że to nie może dłużej trwać.

Zdecydowałam się na powrót do tej społeczności ponieważ pamiętam, jakie wielkie wsparcie w dążeniu do celu otrzymałam tu codziennie.

Aktualnie jestem dużo bogatsza w bagaż życiowych doświadczeń, moja osobowość uległa wielkim zmianom i do większości spraw mam zupełnie inne podejście. Mimo wszystko, uważam że mentalne zmiany we mnie są na plus:)

Jeśli chodzi o tego bloga, będę wdrażać swoją aktywność z przytupem. Wiem, że żeby wrócić do czwórki z przodu wagi muszę dać z siebie bardzo dużo a prowadzenie konta w społeczności motylków, jedynie będzie mnie napędzać do działania.

Kolejny post wieczorem z dzisiejszym podsumowaniem dnia🦋🦋🦋

Fun fatphobia fact of the day:

CMS/HCC is a way for insurance companies to estimate how much money a patient will cost to insure, based on the major problems they have.

This is my list of diagnoses.

I blacked out one of them because it is my intersex condition and has to do with my assigned gender, which I don't want to be associated with my online presence. Also, there are a few repeats because doctors will put in their own phrasing, so sometimes when I switch doctors, I get re-diagnosed with the same thing, with slightly different wording. It's also missing a few diagnoses i got as a kid, namely my autism and a comprehensive list of the specific learning disorders I have, because I didn't think they were relevant to a general practitioner and i didn't want them on my record for safety reasons. Anyways, you'll notice that there are several of them that have the aforementioned CMS/HCC label. Those are schizoaffective disorder, major depression (which is part of my sza,) and two counts of "morbid obesity". My adhd, which I need to take two different medications daily to treat sufficiently enough to function, is not labeled as a major disorder, but my size is. Twice!

You'll notice that nowhere on this list is any diagnosis that is supposedly related to my fatness. That is because, metabolically speaking, my health is perfect. My lipids, a1c, blood pressure, pulse, and o2 are all in the excellent range. I am not on any kind of medications for any of these, either. The fact that I have more body tissue than their ideal, which has no bearing on my actual health, is considered more important to address than my neurodevelopmental disorder that requires two expensive medications to treat. They think that I am more of a risk for them because of an imagined bogeyman of a diagnosis ("morbid obesity", aka being fat) than something which actually has real life functional and financial consequences (my severe combined type adhd). Or, for that matter, my ocd, which I needed intensive outpatient therapy for; my transgender identity, which has cost them thousands of dollars in hormones and surgery; my asthma, which requires two medications to treat; and my gerd, which requires one.

I'm not advocating for medical insurance companies to make it harder for people with these diagnoses to get treatment. I'm just pointing out that the medical system sees me as a drain on their resources specifically because of my weight rather than the diagnoses that actually cost them money (albeit with one exception). They think my adipose tissue, which is not causing me any health problems, is more important to note than most of my legitimate health problems.

That is medical fatphobia.

This 👇 was sent to me from a friend. The chat text is my input. Think about it. 👀

White hats are telling their families to turn off cell phones for the Oct 4th EAS test.

From 2-3pm. (There was no indication if the test will be EDT, or will be by time zone.)

Could this be an indication of how the lipid nano particles are planned to be activated using three 1" bursts of 118hz. 5g may be employed for this activation.

This would release the pathogens inside and induce illness on a massive scale--

My thoughts are that this is how they'll begin the next pandemic and a fear based "vax" campaign because people will be so toxic and start dropping dead within weeks.

It has potential to look like ebola as the chimera making the nanobots (probably from graphene) is composed of ebola staphylococcus, brewers yeast and E. coli.

So it could be pretty gruesome if people develop sudden clotting disorders and start bleeding out all of their orifices. I saw this with the 2004(?) SARS patients who were in total organ failure when working in a long term subacute hospital. People will be so freaked out.

These are dots that I have been trying to connect. But the important thing is -- to get the devices shut off because the potential reality is just TOO REAL. 🤔

I've been using Epson salts for almost a year in a 30' hot soak

almost every other day.

Epson 2-3C

Baking soda 1/2-1 C

Borax 1/4-1/2 C

When I drain the tub the following day there was very fine gray "silt"

on the tub bottom even though I'd activated the jets prior to draining the tub.

Two months ago I decided to try magnesium chloride crystals/flakes 2 C instead of epson (MgSO4).

The silt was black! After about 5-6 soaks it began to clear.. so I think lots of graphene/bots (?) had been sucked out with the ionization of the water.

Simultaneously, we'd just started using the fenbendazole 222mg daily to kill the bot producing chimera.

Something is working as my skin no longer burns with the solar flares. Praise god! 🙏🏽

We gotta get this information out there. The potential that the EBS could trigger the next death round and jab campaign is just too real.

Yes... It's theory.

But it's a logical theory. 🤔

Lipid rafts are specialized microdomains within the plasma membrane, rich in cholesterol and sphingolipids, that play a critical role in organizing cellular processes. These dynamic structures act as platforms for signaling molecules, facilitating key functions such as immune responses, cell communication, and membrane trafficking. 

Recent research has revealed the importance of lipid rafts in various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and viral infections. Understanding how lipid rafts organize and modulate cellular activities opens up new possibilities for targeted therapies that could disrupt or harness these microdomains to treat diseases more effectively. As studies on lipid rafts advance, they are proving to be essential components of the plasma membrane's complex architecture and function.

BRONX, N.Y., Nov. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study led by researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine involving more than 200,000 adults found that the COVID-19 pandemic caused a 29% increase in risk for developing dyslipidemia, a condition involving abnormal lipid (fat) levels in the blood. Seniors and people with type 2 diabetes were even more strongly affected, experiencing an approximately two-fold increased risk for developing dyslipidemia, which is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. The research was published today in the print edition of The Journal of Clinical Investigation.

"Given the extent of the pandemic, this increase in dyslipidemia risk is a cause for concern around the world," said study leader Gaetano Santulli, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of medicine and of molecular pharmacology at Einstein. "Based on our findings, we would advise people to have their lipid levels monitored regularly and to consult with their healthcare providers about ways to treat dyslipidemia if detected, especially elderly individuals and patients with diabetes." He noted that this advice would apply to all adults, not just those formally diagnosed with COVID-19, considering that many people have been infected without realizing it.

To put these findings into context, it has been estimated that 53% of U.S. adults had dyslipidemia before the pandemic; a 29% increase in dyslipidemia incidence due to COVID-19 would mean that 68% of Americans may now be at risk for having lipid abnormalities.

In two previous studies, Dr. Santulli and his team found that COVID-19 raised the incidence of new cases of hypertension and type 2 diabetes. "In those analyses, we demonstrated that the risk of developing these disorders was still high three years after the pandemic; moreover, we noticed a suspicious increase in total cholesterol levels, which warranted a closer look," said Dr. Santulli. In the new study, the researchers first determined the incidence of dyslipidemia in a group of more than 200,000 adults living in Naples, Italy during the three years prior to start of the pandemic (2017-2019). They then assessed the incidence of dyslipidemia in the same group during the three-year COVID-19 period (2020-2022), excluding from the analysis those people earlier diagnosed with dyslipidemia or who had previously been taking lipid-lowering medications.

The investigators found that COVID-19 raised the risk for developing dyslipidemia in the entire study group by an average of 29%. The increase was even higher among people over age 65 and those with chronic conditions, particularly diabetes and obesity, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and hypertension. The findings are the most definitive to date because other studies—most of them linking COVID-19 with modestly increased risks for blood-lipid problems—used as control groups different populations or people thought to have gone through the pandemic without becoming infected. However, significant numbers of people classified as "COVID-free" actually developed the disease but were either never tested or didn't seek medical care.

"Our study did not attempt to determine whether participants had tested positive for COVID-19," Dr. Santulli said. "Instead, because we had been following this group for many years prior to the pandemic, we were able to measure COVID's overall impact on the population by simply comparing levels of dyslipidemia in the same group before and after the pandemic. Any increase in dyslipidemia incidence would almost certainly have to be the result of COVID-19."

How COVID-19 might have increased the incidence of dyslipidemia remains unclear. One possible explanation is a finding Dr. Santulli made in an earlier study: that SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID) disrupts the function of endothelial cells, which line the inside of blood vessels throughout the body and play a critical role in regulating blood lipids.

A separate study found that COVID-19 is a powerful risk factor for heart attacks and strokes for as long as nearly three years after an infection. "This investigation, published online a month after ours, essentially confirms our observations in this study, since dyslipidemia is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease," said Dr. Santulli. "It also suggests that tackling dyslipidemia should reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in those who have had COVID."

The researchers are now studying the effects of COVID-19 on cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome, a recently described condition involving four connected medical problems—heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, and obesity—all of which involve endothelial dysfunction.

The study is titled "A six-year study in a real-world population reveals an increased incidence of dyslipidemia during COVID-19". The other contributors include: Stanislovas S. Jankauskas, Ph.D., and Fahimeh Varzideh, Ph.D., both at Einstein, Pasquale Mone, M.D., Ph.D., at Einstein and Molise University, Campobasso, Italy, Valentina Trimarco, Raffaele Izzo, Maria Virginia Manzi, Maria Lembo, Paola Gallo, Giovanni Esposito, and Francesco Rozza, at the Federico II University of Naples, Italy, Roberto Piccinocchi, at the Vanvitelli Hospital, Naples, Italy, Carmine Morisco and Bruno Trimarco, at the International Translational Research and Medical Education (ITME) Consortium and Federico II University of Naples, Gaetano Piccinocchi, at the Italian Society of General Medicine, Mario Fordellone and Giuseppe Signoriello, at the Campania University, Naples, Italy.

She've trained for more than a year and given the seen results, she rapidly fell in love with the weights. Changes in her appearance are so good she couldn't stop thinking about having more and faster. Having studied some biology in the past, she decided to rely on anabolic steroids to maxime muscle growth in the shortest possible period of time.

She's now in front of the mirror, at the gym, looking at herself. She looks so strong and healthy. For some unknown reasons (maybe black magic) she was able to avoid the androgenic effects of anabolic steroids but some other effects can't be avoided at all. Inside of her other changes are occuring:

The heart is a muscle and during high effort training it will react like any other muscle to the use of steroids. Androgenic steroids alters both electrical and structural features of the myocardium. Supraphysiological doses of those steroids induces toxicity of the cardiovascular system, including changes in the lipid profile, elevations in blood pressure, myocyte [working heart cells] hypertrophy, disarray and apoptosis [controlled cell death] and a procoagulant state. Thereby, contributing to disorders such coronary artery disease, hypertension, cardiomyopathy and thromboembolic disorders. Hypertension is an important reported phenomenon in anabolic steroids users, described to be a consequence of increased sympathetic drive and endothelial [inner layer of blood vessels] dysfunction. Those steroids are involved in promoting the growth of cardiac tissue, resulting in significant adverse adaptations such as an increase in wall thickness, and left ventricular cavity size. Diastolic [heart relaxation after a beat] function appears to be affected, whereby a reduction in early and late diastolic filling velocity ratios is expected. Interestingly, immunohistochemical analyses revealed greater expression of proinflammatory mediators, showing ongoing silent myocardial injury in steroids users. Cardiomegaly [giant heart], myocardial fibrosis and necrosis have been also seen in post-mortem studies on people who used anabolic steroids. Other observed complications are: ventricular rigidity, increase in right ventricular strain, left atrial dysfunction, myocardial infarction and heart failure. Importantly, hypertrophy, fibrosis and necrosis are all substrates for arrhythmias that are further made worse by exercise. Testosterone, in particular, has been associated with rhythmic disturbances, possibly through the potentiation of potassium channels involved in ventricular repolarisation.

Anabolic androgenic steroids have the potential of increasing the risk of sudden cardiac death through four potential mechanisms: the thrombosis model, the atherogenic model, the direct myocardial injury model, and model of vasospasm.

In few words to her heart the simple act of keep beating has become a struggle, a struggle that can become unbearable any moment.

The Facade

Science: the backbone of our world. It is the tool we use to reason, study, explain, and determine everything about our world. Science isn't biased; it's not concerned with the outcome of new information. It doesn't care how long a practice has been trusted. It only focuses on the information we have now and what we can determine from it. Keep that in mind as you read the information presented in this blog.

Most U.S. citizens were raised to trust the CDC's guidelines, follow their doctor's advice, and adhere to the rules these institutions set for society. It’s no secret that our nation's health is in peril: Autism rates are skyrocketing, autoimmune disorders are increasing every year, and chronic illness is rampant. Most importantly, our life expectancy has started to decline. Why is this happening? Why do the institutions in charge of our health keep recommending practices that keep us sick and make them money? Why do most licensed doctors admit they never studied nutrition in their education nor consider it in their practice?

Nutrition is the foundation of health, yet doctors focus solely on prescribing medications to combat the side effects of our poor diets, as well as the side effects from all the other medications prescribed to Americans. The answer is simple: money. Keeping Americans sick is the overriding goal. There is no profit in a cure, and anyone who fails to see that is simply choosing to maintain their safe worldview out of fear. It takes courage to accept that you've been deceived, so I encourage you to have the strength to listen to the facts presented in this blog.

The COVID-19 vaccine represents a new type of "medicine" known as mRNA technology. It works by injecting a lipid nanoparticle that contains instructions for producing antibodies into the muscle tissue in your arm. The nanoparticle is coated in fat so that the cell walls can absorb it and follow its instructions to produce the appropriate antibodies. The immune system recognizes the cell producing something it didn't authorize and labels it as virally infected. It then sends white blood cells to destroy the infected cell. This isn't supposed to be a significant risk because the affected cells are localized in the injection site.

However, one major oversight by the CDC was the decision not to require aspiration for the COVID shots. Aspiration involves pulling back on the syringe before injecting to ensure the needle isn't in a vein or blood vessel. If it is, the doctor would see blood and adjust the needle to ensure the shot is injected into muscle, not intravenously. Without aspiration, many patients received the shot directly into their bloodstream, allowing the lipid nanoparticles direct access to the heart and affecting large numbers of cells there. The immune system destroyed these cells, leaving the heart weakened. Unlike other parts of the body, the heart cannot repair itself quickly. This weakened heart tissue has caused many people to collapse or die on sports fields. If you’ve noticed such cases in the months following mass vaccinations, it’s likely you’ve seen myocarditis, the condition caused by this process, unless censorship hid the videos before you could watch.

Looking back, it’s clear how this happened. The decision to forgo aspiration makes no sense, especially since the vaccine was meant to be intramuscular. The reasoning behind this policy was to prevent vaccine hesitancy—a dangerous and irresponsible choice. No government or authority should be allowed to make such decisions. The fact that this happened is a clear sign that safety was not their priority. Their primary motivation was money, and they developed a system to generate as much as possible.

First, they inflated the severity of COVID to make it seem more deadly than it was. The media, funded by big Pharma (as evidenced by all the drug commercials), instilled fear in the American public. They misrepresented information about alternative treatments like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine, both of which are proven to be effective for treating RNA viruses, including COVID. Even though these medications are cheap and readily available, the government and media suppressed information about them. Ivermectin, which is less toxic than Hydroxychloroquine, should have been the first line of defense against COVID. Personally, I used Ivermectin when I had COVID, and all of my symptoms disappeared after two doses within 24 hours. Thousands of cases of successful treatment with Ivermectin exist, and India even made it their primary treatment for the entire country.

Here’s where things get strange: The government cannot issue an "emergency use authorization" unless there are no alternative treatments. In order to push mass vaccination, they set out to discredit and censor any alternative treatment. All major news networks, Facebook, Instagram, Google, and Twitter (before it changed ownership) implemented censorship to prevent "vaccine hesitancy." CNN even mocked Joe Rogan for using Ivermectin, calling it "horse medication." In reality, the inventor of Ivermectin won a Nobel Prize for its use in humans. CNN's portrayal was evil and misleading. The goal was to convince people that vaccination was their only option. Unfortunately, they succeeded, with over 77% of the U.S. population receiving the vaccine. They didn’t just make it seem like the only option—they made it mandatory for those who wanted to attend school or keep their job.

Why are institutions that Americans have trusted for decades committing such heinous acts? Why is science being manipulated? Why is safety not a priority? Why are hundreds of scientists and doctors censored, silenced, and stripped of their medical licenses when they try to go public with this information? Money. In summary, the government struck fear into the public, said the only solution was vaccination, and made it mandatory if you wanted to stay in school, keep your job, or travel. It resulted in $90 billion in profits for big Pharma. No wonder they sought the emergency use authorization. These actions have led to the death or permanent injury of millions of Americans, and the people responsible deserve to be imprisoned for life.

The Significance of Blood Tests in Addressing Vertigo:

1. Evaluation of Metabolic and Hormonal Factors: Blood tests serve as valuable tools for assessing metabolic parameters like blood glucose and electrolyte balance, shedding light on hormonal imbalances, particularly related to thyroid dysfunction, which contribute significantly to vertigo. Incorporating cutting-edge technologies, such as continuous glucose monitoring, holds potential for real-time insights into metabolic influences on vertigo. Additionally, examining hormonal fluctuations in various life stages, such as menopause, offers a nuanced understanding of vertigo triggers.

2. Understanding Anemia and Blood Disorders: The role of blood in oxygen transport is crucial for preventing vertigo, and conditions like anemia disrupt this process. A comprehensive examination, including a complete blood count (CBC), proves essential in detecting anemia and various blood disorders, providing insights into potential contributors to vertigo. Combining advanced imaging techniques like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with blood tests offers a detailed understanding of physiological changes associated with anemia-induced vertigo. Exploring nutritional deficiencies, such as vitamin B12 and iron, enhances the comprehension and management of anemia-related vertigo.

3. Detection of Infections: Blood tests measuring parameters like white blood cell count and C-reactive protein (CRP) offer crucial insights into infections, guiding clinicians toward targeted treatment strategies addressing both the infection and associated vertigo. Advanced molecular diagnostics, including polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing, enhance precision in identifying infectious causes of vertigo. Investigating chronic infections and their potential link to persistent vertigo symptoms adds depth to our understanding.

4. Assessment of Lipid Profile: Abnormal lipid levels, particularly high cholesterol, may compromise blood flow to the inner ear, contributing to vertigo. Lipid profile tests are essential in evaluating the cardiovascular health of vertigo patients, emphasizing the interconnectedness of systemic health and vestibular function. Exploring the impact of lifestyle factors on lipid metabolism broadens intervention possibilities for lipid-related vertigo.

5. Unraveling Autoimmune Contributions: Blood tests detecting antibodies associated with autoimmune conditions play a pivotal role in understanding autoimmune-induced vertigo, particularly in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. Exploring immunomodulatory therapies and personalized treatment plans based on autoimmune markers provides insights into managing autoimmune-induced vertigo. Investigating the relationship between autoimmune vertigo and comorbidities adds complexity to our understanding.

6. Monitoring Drug Levels: Regular blood tests for drug levels ensure optimal therapeutic benefits without adverse effects, addressing the delicate balance between pharmaceutical management and vestibular health. Advances in pharmacogenomics hold promise in tailoring drug regimens based on individual genetic profiles to minimize medication-induced vertigo. Additionally, exploring the long-term effects of chronic medication use on vestibular function offers a comprehensive view of medication-related vertigo.

Doctors recommend undergoing full body health checkups, including blood tests and other essential tests, at regular intervals to detect and manage conditions such as vertigo early.

October 29th, 2024

I was going through my notes from my doctor that I switched to after the one I had been seeing all year said she wasn't going to run anymore test. Well... I saw that in the notes it said "possible ficiticious disorder" (similar to hypochondria). It also said that my breasts are normal, my stomach/abdomen is fine, and some other things that ARE NOT TRUE and it's a lie because he didn't even check. He never touched me and wrote that these things are normal. I have a lump in my left breast (that has grown a cup size so now I have a two cup size difference), discoloration, and neuropathy.

Later that day, I saw the oral surgeon. He said he didn't see anything even though I was looking in the mirror and could see the issues. I can feel the swelling in my face because it is tighter now and leaves a dimple if I press on my forehead.

So today, I saw a new Dr who was phenomenal and ordered some pretty intense labs (EDS markers, lupus, lipids, compressive thyroid and metabolic, T-cells, and stuff for my stomach), and she referred me to ENT with heavy suggestions of a biopsy in my throat/neck (finally!). It’s nice to have someone listen and take me seriously. She mainly works with people with autoimmune issues so she knows how to dig.

Yesterday, I also talked with the financial aid advisor from my university. He gave me the contact information for the registrar and said they can help me basically expunge this entire semester and wave my tuition so i don't have to pay anything back, and maybe get a partial refund too. For an awful situation, this is best case scenario.
