@wholemars But people still want to own cars. If tesla decides not to build new models I wish they would at least sell a sled for coach makers to build out new deigns (like the old days).






If Elon Musk designed a Cybertruck that looked similar to my Ram 1500, I’d consider going electric. I’m not too big on futuristic-looking things; they’re bland and lack character.


3 months ago my cardiologist told me that I needed to go on statins NO MATTER WHAT He was wrong. I’m living proof. I share my story in case it might help others who find themselves in a similar situation 👇 (And please note I’m not here to say all modern medicine is a scam, but doctors don’t always have your best interests or individual situation in mind) First the number: > 203 < Note I didn’t say numberS They literally diagnosed me based on my LDL “bad cholesterol” of 203 mg/dL alone Because if it is > 190mg/dL they automatically assume it’s genetics, and they call it Familial Hypercholesterolemia The problem is that they don’t actually run a test to confirm They don’t even ask about your diet (which you’ll soon see what the primary driver for my high cholesterol) So my doctor told me I needed to IMMEDIATELY go on a heavy dose of 80mg of Rosuvastatin combined with Ezetimibe and he made sure to tell me I’d be ON THESE PILLS FOR LIFE And he used scare tactics saying that there wasn’t a moment to lose But the worst part of it was that he even said my 5 kids should be tested and they may also need to be put on statins (my wife thought this part was aggressive) But the one good thing about healthcare is that you don’t have to always listen to your doctor Always be your own advocate And listen to your gut if something doesn’t seem right So I told them I’m going to take 3 months and then another lipid panel before I signed up for the big pharma for life track My daily regimen included: - 6g beta-glucans (1c. oats or bran) - 5g psyllium husk - Lots of plant sterols (e.g. moringa leaves from my yard) - 6oz. salmon - whole grains and legumes - 30 minutes of cardio - 30 minutes of strength training - Drastically reduced my saturated fat intake - ZERO ALCOHOL (duh) My wife can attest to my religious, borderline superstitious, adherence to the plan And now 3 months later I am proud to say that I successfully halved my LDL to 105 mg/dL from “Very High” to only a touch above “Desirable” My total cholesterol is down over 30% and both my HDL and Triglycerides improved favorably Now I’m no doctor, but all signs point to my cholesterol being a result of my sustained keto diet and me being a LMHR (“Lean Mass Hyper Responder”) phenotype. I hope that this reaches a few people in a similar boat. I’m happy to share specifics for anyone who would find this helpful.
