I'm considering joining, but I'm curious:

Who has paid to become a member of Track Your Plaque?

Is it worth the cost verses just reading The Heart Scan Blog?

Have you personally experienced positive results? If so, what are they?

Any other relevant info?


Thanks-

Hmm, 81 views and no replies . Surely someone here uses 'Track Your Plaque'?

I think most of the people here are familiar with Dr. Davis' ideas and incorporate them, but have no need to pay for someone to implement these ideas for them. If you have a good scientific knowledge base and proper motivation to implement the ideas, it would be a waste of money IMO.

I've thought about it, but I've never gotten around to doing it.

PM wccaguy and ask him.

I am signed up. There are a lot of articles/reports and what not that help explain some of the concepts in more detail. I can't remember the membership price but I don't recall it being all that expensive.

The member forum is probably the best part and it is a pretty active community with several doctors and nurses in the cardiology profession adding input. Dr Davis is also pretty active so you can get direct dialogue going w/ him which if it's an interesting topic, which is pretty cool if you have one of those questions that you can't track down elsewhere.

My take is that most of the people on the forum have been diagnosed with some type of heart issue so it can get pretty specific to an individual's blood results etc. You will see many updates as far as what has worked for people in terms of supplementation etc and followup blood tests on various markers as proof, which is nice.

There are a few members who are very well read on heart topics and post studies. It is probably more data driven than you would imagine before going in. wccaguy posts some good stuff a lot of the time.

Here's a feel for some of the recent thread titles so you can kind of see the types of issues:
- Health implications of Tongkat Ali
- HDL3 Anti-atherogenic small, dense HDL (this is not Large HDL)
- Wherehouse of Links of people who achieved Plaque CAC Score regression or stability
- Why niacin can cause homocysteine to increase - a theory
- Arbarnea EV00 Oil
- Chokeberry(aronia berry) juice verse pomegranite and acai berry juice.
- Boswellia and 5-Lipoxygenase Pathway Inflammation
- The importance of downregulating of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1

Thank you for taking your time to reply.


Did you do Step 1?

Is the memebership still worthwhile (in your opinion) even if one chooses not to do "step 1?'

Detect and Measure Coronary Plaque

"In Step 1 of this proven approach, you'll be shown how to detect hidden coronary heart disease, even years before danger strikes. Direct measurement of hidden coronary plaque eliminates the murkiness of so-called "risk factors" like cholesterol testing and the unacceptable imprecision of stress testing. The most widely available method to detect silent heart disease is coronary calcium "scoring" obtained through the increasingly available EBT or multi-detector heart scanners. These new technologies make the identification and precise measurement of coronary plaque a safe, inexpensive, ten-minute process that just about anybody can obtain."

I did not do step one. Basically, I am 34 and while some people do get them that young I think people normally wait until about 40. I will probably do one, might do it before 40, but right now it's all really just preventative in the way I think about it. The discussion and supplementation protocol is worthwhile without necessarily having the scan.

Thanks to thevaughny and Shepard for their informative replies.

I created a new LongeCity login and haven't logged in under my wccaguy alias. Then I noticed this thread... I think TYP is worthwhile.

I'm going to be posting more under that new alias about Inflammation. I'll check in from time to time under this one.

I believe that managing inflammation in our lives is the key to getting across Kurzweil's Bridge One to Radical Life Extension...
