Hi everyone. I’ve been on here for a while and want to say I very much appreciate how open, sincere and caring all of the posters are. I am like most 59 year old male when with just high bp, cholesterol levels all over the place but healthy, CAC score was 693 my cardio put me on 80 mg stat amd baby aspirin. A year later I got another test ( Doc told me not too) my score was 1100. Doctors won’t do anything say it’s too risky to get into my arteries and get the plaque . So we just wait for something to happen seems to me that’s unacceptable. Is there anything we can take maybe from a health food store to slow progression of this plaque? I hear of vitamin k frequently. Good luck to everyone

@bigbern I'm also a part of our illustrious group with my 2316 score and was put on 20 mg of Lipitor and a baby aspirin. After reading research on the aspiring I opted to eliminate that. But I must say the Lipitor has done some remarkable things to my lipid profile blood tests. My wife has been on supplements for her ovarian cancer while at the same time doing the medical care things she should be doing. And she is now cancer free - in remission. So is her success from what the medical doctors are doing or what she's getting from the holistic doc? Impossible to say but as long as she's doing well no reason to stop. anyway - I started with him as well and here's what I'm taking: CoQ10 (Jarrow brand) he recommends 100 mg of it for every 10 mg of statin, K2 (Ultra K). magnesium buffered chelate, anthocyanins, something he calls Cardio 5 which he says works on multiple levels for vascular health, resting heart rate, etc..., and fish oil. I do not expect calcium scores to change one way or the other with these formulations but I do have some belief that they're helping in other ways.
