Seems like it is and his cholesterol is not that high imho. Not as high as mine. He said the same thing as you.....rather have another heart attack than die of some neurological disease. Not sure yet what he's going to do. He's been eating healthy lc/hf for the past four years since his last heart attack....another mild one. But he can't seem to avoid the blood clot in his artery.

Here is a thought... Im not a doctor but in interest of my own health I have been digging. Most recently looking at K2.
Not accepted by FDA,but is recommended in other countries. Doctors dont know about it. Talked to an orthopedics specialist, an associate professor at UMASS, and when I asked about K2, he only talked about K1. K1 and K2 are NOT the same function.
K1 is clotting.
K2 is calcium deposition. Think depostition of calcium into plaques.
Most of us dont get enough of the basic minerals and vitamins, and certainly not enough K2. Because we have eliinated the foods high in this vitamin. Used to be consumed in higher levels in the past when we ate liver, farm fresh eggs ( really free range as my chickens cover the whole farm in a days travel), natto, etc.
A little research into the K2 might prove helpful.
