High Coronary Calcium Score: How do others feel emotionally?

peggy,

This is simply a video by one person claiming something that has not be proven to be true - no peer review, not study, no analysis of study findings.

Is this your proof of reversal of coronary calcium?

rochelle,

Please link the trials/studies etc to show this.

I suggest you dig deeper with associated links. All I’m saying is there is more out there than what our FDA and western medicine gets paid for. Whatever you believe is your answer

And, again, Peggy, please post links to studies and peer reviewed analysis. That you continue to support singular YouTube videos, without analysis and study, is disturbing.

Then telling us to dig deeper into the same lack of studies and analysis makes no sense.

And, finally, this is not about what we "believe" - it is about science and what is provable and true.

I am sorry to be so harsh, but believing incredible sellers in videos is not wise, nor reasonable.

So one video of a guy (no idea who he is or his credentials) making unsubstantiated claims with no data (claims of reduced calcium score but no numbers?) is enough to sway you? I have a nice bridge........

This, I understand, is a forum to express POV - not to be rude.
I would be inclined to take something of interest and do my own research. I would not expect (your) POV to be truth - even if you posted a piece of internet sourced study material of unknown origin with unknown motivation as support.
No one is defending their PhD in 300 pages here.
I have a healthy distrust, from personal experience, of the FDA and western medicine and the big Pharma machine. We are all (I’m assuming) people here with concerns and questions and a POV trying to be our own best advocate. There is plenty of info when one takes the time to dig. Good luck crossing your bridge

Sorry, my intent is not to be rude. People on here are looking for help. It is disingenuous to promote POV's based on singular anecdotal "evidence" versus numerous peer reviewed studies of double blind studies with large cohorts. You can have your own POV but when you promote it to others you can actually do harm if it is not fact based. If the man in the video can support his outlandish claims he should provide data to back them. I suspect that he can't. He doesn't provide one quantifiable measurement of success.

The problem with your approach is that many people on here are desperately trying to find answers regarding their health and are vulnerable to these sham magic bullet theories and may adapt them opposed to sound medical science and actually be worse off.

peggystephenson,

keithl56 has accurately expressed my position, as well.

I had my first CT angiogram about 11 years ago and my score was 320. Decided to go strict vegan and after two years had another CT angiogram and my score was 420.
I have been very active my entire life with exercise, running, weight lifting, cycling, yoga and racquet sports. I am 68 years old.

I remained about 95% vegan after my second CT scan. And continued my active lifestyle.

I had another CT scan last week and now my score is 1080

Disheartening to say the least.

I had an echo stress which was inconclusive and a nuclear which shows no blockages.

I am extremely discouraged . I thought I was doing everything right and nothing seems to stop the progression

Discouraged in NY

don't be discouraged. Calcium scores are becoming less and less relevant. I'm assuming you are on a Statin drug.
My score was 2,854. I'm 56 and at the gym every day for the past 30 years. Lots and lots of tests show blood flow is perfect. So living life as though I have another 40 years.
