High Coronary Calcium Score: How do others feel emotionally?
I have a calcium score of 1,950 which is extremely high which means I am at a very high risk for a cardiac event,heart attack,stroke or sudden death.
I take a statin and baby aspirin. I have never been sick, have excellent cholesterol, low blood pressure and I am not overweight. I have no other health problems and I have never been sick. But I feel like a walking time bomb which has caused me a lot of stress. I am 70 yrs old.
I wonder how others with this condition feel emotionally?

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.

3 ReactionsThis, 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

2 ReactionsSo 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........
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.

1 ReactionI 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
rochelle,
Please link the trials/studies etc to show this.
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?
I think a high calcium score is a wake up call. Dr Dean Ornish and Dr Caldwell Esselstyn were able to show you can reverse heart disease. program dr Ornish showed randomized controlled trials to reverse the progression of even severe coronary heart disease by lifestyle changes, without drugs or surgery.

peggy,
Please provide links or citations to actual studies on reversing coronary calcium.
