Hi, In August `21 I had a severe heart attack, it started +- 2 years before as angina which I misinterpreted as heart burn until the near fatal day. I am not going to go into my life story but just to give you some insight what I learned afterward. Any person developing a disease after two years old got the disease from what we did to our bodies, in most cases it is what we eat. As a child my parents would promise you a good hiding if you don`t it all your vegetables. And I grew up loving vegetables. After the heart attack I did some research and realized not every one s body can handle the same vegetables, but everyone can eat meat. During my you-tube searches I stubbled on what is called a carnivore diet, initially i dismissed all these carnivore you-tube clips and oneday curiosity overwhelmed me and I wanted to listen what these "stupid" people I thought can come up with. Today I am greatfull for curiosities sake. I advice you to visit the following you tube channels "Dr Ken Berry, no carb life". Here you will find shocking wonderful life chats regarding the carnivore diet telling you how this diet cured people with various diseases. It helped me with the truths and I am on no medication. Hope it helps. Greetings.

Hi @gerhardus. I see this is your first post on Mayo Clinic Connect. Welcome! I am so glad you are around after your severe heart attack, able to join this discussion about elevated LP(a). You have found a good place to share experiences.

If you haven’t already, you may want to check out discussions related to your carnivore eating style. I am so glad it is working for you. I typed “carnivore diet” into the search box on the home screen and found several conversations.

Also, Mayo Clinic promotes long-term evidence based eating and provides good related information. Their perspective comes from what is proven to lower risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol and high blood pressure. These are all positives for folks dealing with the additional risk associated with elevated lipoprotein (a).
