Well then you have all you need to figure it out. If low LDL is good then high HDL to LDL ratio must be good, so low HDL would be bad.

Yeah because there’s a real vacuum of pretty looking but content free addictive micropayment games. A real big loss to society that has not been replicated that one.

Ah, ok, so it was just bullshit. It’s virtually impossible to become hypokalemic from dietary insufficiency alone if maintaining caloric needs unless you’re puking or shitting your guts out or have certain endocrine or renal chronic illness

This is a good learning/discussion point: The post common cause of iron deficiency anemia in menstruating females is menorrhagia. Celiac disease is often an acquired disease in later adult hood. This is not to comment or challenge dire

Oh in that case you're just very apparently 40 years behind?, there are kits sold in supermarkets in the US that carry Torx bits. They are not uncommon at all. In addition to automotive it is all over appliances, electronics (eg hard d

Where do you live that Torx are hard to find? They are nothing short of a standard on automotive applications, and any "mechanics" screwdriver, like the very popular Megapro in North America will carry Torx bits - but any big box

The otherwise healthy man with no iron deficiency has no reason to take daily iron supplements for 5 years and therefore no need to monitor iron levels. If they are iron deficient there is some sort of blood loss or underabsorption going on

Dude, I'm just addressing this: "So things that can look like anemia can be other things! Case in point, my wife was misdiagnosed for months with Anemia." Which is a bit of a confused statement. > Saying this patient was &

Yes, the word left 100 years ago means the same thing it does today. And the gross anatomy of the brain goes back beyond that.

A hemoglobin for 4-5 is anemia - the definition of anemia is low hemoglobin concentration. If your wife had hemoglobin that low, then she was correctly diagnosed with anemia. It is a bit odd though the apparent coinfection with multiple t

Frequent monitoring of iron/ferritin levels while on oral iron supplementation is likely not necessary -- barring a genetic disease, you're extremely unlikely to get iron toxicity or overload at instructed oral doses. Periodic mon

Ferritin is the protein that stores iron in cells in almost every organism from bacteria to humans - but its exact structure and mechanism do differ. As a blood test, endogenous ferritin level gives an indirect measure of iron stores. Ferri
