It is time for Americans and their physicians to learn that there is more to do to prevent heart attacks and strokes. Everyone must learn the difference between LDL-C and LDL-P and non-HDL cholesterol (The Tubby Factor). Everyone must learn what a calcium score and a carotid intima thickness ultrasound does to detect subclinical atherosclerosis. My book, The Tubby Theory from Topeka teaches the above and demonstrates how I used the above tests to prevent heart disease and stroke and to also regress plaque in the arteries in my medical practice in Topeka for the last two years. My goal is to change the Paradigm of preventive medicine in America. The new paradigm is to find subclinical atherosclerosis early with a calcium score and a CIMT to then treat it to stabilize the vulnerable plaque from inflammation and rupture. Rupture of the plaque causes sudden death. In 1 of 3 patients, SUDDEN DEATH is the first sign of heart disease. Reference: Lipoprotein Management in Patients with Cardiometabolic Risk, Brunzell et al, JACC. 2008; 51: 1513 Tim Russert died one year ago of sudden death. The media reported nothing more could have been done for him. Non-HDL cholesterol goal of 40 inches for men and >35 inches for men or if you are diabetic.

Dr. Brian Edwards is a lipidologist. He has completed a year long case study on himself. He has eaten 60% of fat while on a very low carbohydrate diet. During this year long period he has been on cruise ships for 90 days. These are the end points of his study: 1- LDL particle number 2- Weight 3- CAC (calcium score of coronary arteries 4- CIMT (ultrasound of carotid intimal wall) 5- Hemoglobin A1c (for diabetes) While this is only a case study of one, Dr. Edwards proposes these end points to be used in future studies to answer the question as to which diet is healthy. During the course of the year Dr. Edwards learned an extremely important concept: The Reduced Obese State Based on this concept, Dr. Edwards is introducing a new term to describe why diet fail in maintenance phase: The Sponge Syndrome. Finally, Dr. Edwards discovered the greatest hindrance to low carbohydrate diets: cross country driving which causes prolonged sitting while driving for eight hours. The prolonged sedentary state is one of the key opportunities for weight gain in someone who has lost weight. This is one component of many compensatory mechanisms of the Sponge syndrome which cause people in the reduced state to gain weight.

This is my third book in a series of diary type entries about the progress of my Alzheimer’s disease since December 2017 when it was first diagnosed. I have changed my opinions about doing better with nostrums and vitamins. There is no cure. One reason I changed my mind is that I have done so well during the third year. I do believe Namzaric, getting cholesterol and blood pressure low with medicine is key to preventing stroke and a sudden decline in mentation. I published my lab results which I usually get every three months. My next book will be titled: Alzheimer’s is Inexorable. Year Four. Let’s see if my title is premature.

This is a different type of book on Alzheimer’s. There are no claims on how to prevent this dementia. There are no claims on how to cure Alzheimer’s. In a cancer diagnosis, the patient can fight and win. In Alzheimer’s, no one has fought and won. Don’t fight, have fun. The patient’s time is limited, so instead of looking for false nostrums, look on how you can improve your relationships with people and socialize. This book is not about the futility of treating Alzheimer’s. I will leave that to the many trials that have been done. This book is about how I adjusted to the shock of the diagnosis and then went on to live the best life I possibly could.

A #1 bestseller from coast to coast, Den of Thieves tells the full story of the insider-trading scandal that nearly destroyed Wall Street, the men who pulled it off, and the chase that finally brought them to justice. Pulitzer Prize–winner James B. Stewart shows for the first time how four of the eighties’ biggest names on Wall Street—Michael Milken, Ivan Boesky, Martin Siegel, and Dennis Levine—created the greatest insider-trading ring in financial history and almost walked away with billions, until a team of downtrodden detectives triumphed over some of America’s most expensive lawyers to bring this powerful quartet to justice. Based on secret grand jury transcripts, interviews, and actual trading records, and containing explosive new revelations about Michael Milken and Ivan Boesky, Den of Thieves weaves all the facts into an unforgettable narrative—a portrait of human nature, big business, and crime of unparalleled proportions.
