Wanted to keep noting for you guys what I'm learning and the process. Hoping this may help others. These are my lipid profiles from last physical. and that was 2021. So, these should be a good indicator of some of the values. And these values are after years of drinking Kava.
These numbers seem okay.
I"m learning that it's the inflammatory markers from the bloodwork that are important.
"The three most commonly used inflammatory markers are called C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and plasma viscosity (PV)."
So, I'm going to try to have that done and see what these indicate. IF they are high, may curtail Kava just for a bit to see what that does to those figures. But, I"m not anticipating that. For all I know... The plaque could have gone down from the check that was done years ago. Will talk with doc. But, Just wanted to keep posting findings to help better understand Kava and cholesterol.
