That's where it's at: <fish oil, vitamin D, niacin> Plus a diet with a drastic reduction in sugary carbs and you have a nice prescription for a healthy cardiovascular system. Plus control your bp and diabetes, don't smoke and do some exercise. Actually it's not rocket science. Hopefully the word is spreading in the medical profession-It certainly is in the CME articles. Takes time. Incidentally the other stuff that Dr.Davis recommends I consider as kind of wannabe or who knows. Maybe it's good probably it's not toxic so you might as well take it. But I don't think there's a lot of good evidence for a lot of it. but fish oil, Vitamin D and niacin-go for it.

There's a TV show I stumbled on one night that tells the stories of weird illnesses gone wrong. The one lady had what her PCP diagnosed as pneumonia on X-ray but she developed chronic weakness, shortness of breath, fatigue and weight loss. Her PCP and other doctors she went to called her crazy and accused her of anorexia. She finally got an internalist that bothered to take an X-ray of her chest. She had Hodgkin's that had engulfed the entire side of her chest cavity. I'd be crying malpractice all the way to my lawyer's office.
