Anyone else out there with extremely high lipoprotein (a)?

Statins have been shown to increase LP(a). Things that reduce it are: keto or very low carb eating and eating only 8 hours a day and fasting 16 hours a day, high dose niacin, high dose vitamin c and absolutely no seed oils.

I have read that fasting has no effect on Lp(a). I know that it doesn't help mine which was 125 mg/dl. I am 52, and the doctors who have checked my neck and heart seem to think that they sound OK. In any event, I have been taking 2000 mg of C for at least 26 years. A dentist who later committed suicide put me on it. I have also read about the Linus Pauling Protocol of taking 3000 mg of Vitamin C and 3000 mg of L-lysine which I am taking spaced out. Sadly, I didn't even know about the Lp(a) until this year. I have also taken Vitamin D at 5000 iu for several years and high dose fish oil. I have tried to stay fit. I was able to reverse pre-diabetes for several years although it has been creeping up slightly with Statin use.
No seed oils? Does that include chia seeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds ground or whole? My lipoprotein a is 156 and everything else well in normal range

Yes, I am having the most trouble finding a good salad dressing that is made with olive or avocado oil, and I will use it sparingly. You are correct about statins.
