Dr. Davis says you can reduce Lp(a). I don't have Lp(a) so I haven't paid attention to all the details but one thing I recall is a LOT of fish oil. Thanks for the link. Once upon a time he recommended niacin. I tried that but couldn't tolerate much of it. Started dropping heartbeats. IIRC, he later backed off on his niacin rec. I took fish oil in the quantity he then recommended. Didn't make a dent. My LP(a) has been measured at more than ten times his maximum target. I quit testing it after it didn't budge and after I read that it almost never changes because it's pre-programmed. It is somewhat disconcerting to have all these risk factors. I also have very high homocysteine, fibrinogen, LDL, ApoB, and CRP on top of the MTHFR gene. So I keep getting heart scans and, regardless of all those measures, and despite turning 72 the other day, I have so far next to no calcium stuck in my arteries. Maybe it's my fat LDL particles or my very low carb diet that compensate if not reduce. Or maybe this is all just so much yada yada...
