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.

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.
