ATP lV effect on your medical insurance


New NCEP ATP lV guidelines will be coming out soon.

Medical nihilists may be skeptical that it is all built on a house of cards,  but it will affect everyone in the USA as to what their medical insurance pays for.

How often to get lipid panel while on treatment.
How to dose statins, whether to target number goals such as LDL-C > 70 or doses according to the best random controlled trials with primary positive outcomes.
Will advanced lipid testing be paid for such Lp (a)?
Will CIMT or CAC be paid for?
Will statin therapy start earlier for lower risk category, 1-5% Framingham risk score?

Read  article below  for my opinions.
Go to site:

 Response to Tom Naughton about Big Pharma influence on drug trials 

and how ATP lV is trying to distance themselves from that influence.  I bet Niasapan and Zetia will not be in the main guidelines as there are no RCT with positive primary outcomes for them.

Latest lab 2-23-13

 I continue to document the success of LCHF diet with 3 different advanced lipid testing labs.  After going on 60% fat in Jan 2011 without changing my medicine and decreasing exercise, I am amazed at my particle results.

Berkley Lab apo B 60
Vap Lab apo B 53
Liposcience  LDL particle number 345

I don't know any other study that has done this.

I have been on a diet similar to this since Jan. 2011.  My LDL-P has been excellent. 

Carbs do creep in during the day.  I have salad with Blue Cheese dressing.  I have coffee with cream.
I eat olives.  I drink approx. 12 oz wine/d often.  I eat munster cheese, swiss cheese.  I will have a bagel once or twice a week.  I use a lot of mayo in my tuna and cook my eggs with butter and put it on my steak sometimes.

I have stayed on this diet because I have not gained weight on it and I am not hungry. 

I have followed my advanced lipid profile, CAC and CIMT frequently and the results are excellent.

Since my return from my Southeast driving tour,  I have gone from 263 pounds back to 256 pounds.  That is the weight I started this diet on in Jan 2011.  On the car tour I was sedentary and I had more carbs than usual.  Mostly 3 pizzas.

Post Hawaii Trip weigh-in

After 35 days in Hawaii and back on Testosterone in gel form,  I weighed 255 pounds.

Again I stayed on a low carb, high fat diet.  On Oct. 27 I weighed 254. 

I started the low carb, high protein, high fat diet in Jan. 2011.  I weighed 256 pounds at that time. 

It is now 23 months later.  I haven't lost weight but I have not gained weight despite approximately 250 days on cruise ships.  I usually just eat three times a day.  I don't get hungry.  I actually exercise less than my routine before 2011.  I do try to walk at least 20-40 minutes a day. I usually drink alcohol every day- avg 4 oz a day.

I continue to take my usual medications.
Lipitor 10 mg
OTC niacin 1,000 mg
Fish oil 4,000 mg
ASA 81 mg
Metformin 2,000 mg
Actos 45 mg
ACE inhibitor
Victoza injection

 The best part of the day is when I have a bowel movement.   Recently started Miralax. I found MOM too harsh. Pacing helps but I get exhaust...
