The Tuesday Talk Show — Mon, 15 Feb 2021 17:24:22 +0000

Which is the best? It is confusing out there in the land of heart disease detection.

Dr. Bill Blanchet: How You Can Prevent the Top 3 Diseases Killing Americans

The Tuesday Talk Show — Thu, 03 Sep 2015 19:07:04 +0000

Unfortunately, you read that right. The top 3 diseases that account for the overwhelming majority of deaths in the United States are all preventable! The Number 1 disease has been the top killer since the 1900's!! This is beyond ridiculous. This is completely unacceptable and apparently it is up to us to change these statistics. Modern medicine obviously has not, and is not moving fast enough. In case you don't have time to listen to this 45 minute life-saving podcast with Dr. Bill Blanchet, here's the bottom line: Go get a heart scan. Forget your cholesterol numbers, learn what your heart score is. Go get a CT Lung scan. Get a colonoscopy, either conventional or the new virtual. Just do it, stop fussing.

Major Medical Misconception #4 - Conventional Colonoscopies Are Better Than Virtual Colonoscopies

The Tuesday Talk Show — Mon, 08 Sep 2014 20:26:46 +0000

This is a good one. Bottom line, gastroenterologists are against virtual colonoscopies because they think it takes business away from them. Primary care physicians don't routinely support virtuals because they don't know much about them and therefore defer to the gastroenterologists. This leaves 33% of us getting a conventional colonoscopy, and approximately 66% of us not getting any colon screening for bunches of reasons. And we wonder why colon cancer remains the 2nd leading cause of cancer related deaths in the U.S. And...it's a disease that is over 90% curable if found early with appropriate screening. Hear what Dr. Bill Blanchet has to say.

Dr. Blanchet: Extreme Diets and Heart Disease

The Tuesday Talk Show — Fri, 11 Oct 2013 19:05:07 +0000

QUESTION: " I have angina upon exertion. I have been on the Esselstyn diet with about 90-95% compliance. My numbers are better, but my symptoms have not improved. I have been told to wait 5 years. I don't want to put my life on hold any longer. What are your thoughts?"

BASIC ESSELSTYN DIET: Dr. Esselstyn's diet revolves around swearing off much of the typical Western diet. It means halting consumption of all meat, eggs, dairy products, nuts and processed foods. No meat. No organic chicken, no wild fish, no cold cuts. One more thing: You can't even consume oils -- not even olive oil.

Fruit, vegetables (except avocados, which are too fatty), whole grains and legumes. Those are the core of what one can eat. Dr. Esselstyn's argument is that living by the standards of this diet will prevent the onset of heart disease, among other health problems.

Dr. Bill Blanchet discusses Plant Sterols

The Tuesday Talk Show — Tue, 08 Oct 2013 17:41:51 +0000

QUESTION: If I am a hyper-absorber of plant sterols, am I sensitive to fats in general? Should I reduce my omega 3 intake?

GENERAL BACKGROUND: Plant sterols are naturally occurring substances found in plants. They are present in small quantities in many fruits, vegetables, vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, cereals and legumes.

Research has shown that plant sterols included with a heart healthy eating plan may reduce your risk for heart disease. The sterols work by blocking the absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine. This lowers the low density cholesterol known as the 'bad' cholesterol (LDL ) by 6-15%, without lowering the good cholesterol known as the high density cholesterol ( HDL).

Dr. Blanchet : A New Drug for At Risk Lp-PLa2 ?

The Tuesday Talk Show — Mon, 07 Oct 2013 23:12:16 +0000

QUESTION: "My Lp-PLA2 bloodwork shows me at risk for arterial inflammation. I understand there is a new drug being tested to reduce Lp-PLA2. Should I take it as soon as it is available?"

GENERAL BACKGROUND:

Advanced tests measure blood levels of an enzyme called lipoprotein phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2). The Lp-PLA2 enzyme unleashes a chain of harmful events culminating in endothelial dysfunction, which is a pathological abnormality in the blood vessel wall that sets the stage for atherosclerosis, plaque accumulation, and rupture.

An elevated level of Lp-PLA2 may signal that an arterial plaque is susceptible to rupture, which could cause a clot to break loose, precipitating a heart attack or stroke.
