I can't recommend a specific Dr but look for a Cardiologist who specializes in the treatment of high LPa levels.

Here are a few in the BR area that specialize in the treatment of familial hypercholesterolemia and LPa.

Dr. Garland G. Green (Baton Rouge): An interventional cardiologist recognized for expertise in lipid disorders.

Dr. Denzil Moraes (Baton Rouge): Distinguished provider for Familial Combined Hyperlipidemia.

Dr. Thomas Lemay (Baton Rouge): Distinguished provider for Familial Combined Hyperlipidemia.

I checked their map - looks like the only location in the state is in Lake Charles.


For the north LA folks, there is a location in Shreveport that offers the Cleerly test: Integrative Partners offers Cleerly cardiovascular testing.

There is also HeartFlow: I am copying and pasting.

HeartFlow analysis, a non-invasive tool for coronary artery disease, is available in Louisiana primarily through specialized cardiology centers. Key locations include the Cardiovascular Institute of the South (CIS) (Houma, Zachary, Lafayette), Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center (Baton Rouge), and LCMC Health/West Jefferson Medical Center (Marrero).
Key Louisiana Locations for HeartFlow Scans:

Houma: Cardiovascular Institute of the South (CIS), recognized as the first in the state to adopt the technology.

Baton Rouge:
Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center (Heart & Vascular Institute).
Louisiana Cardiology Associates.
Lake Imaging Center.

Lafayette:
Our Lady of Lourdes Heart Hospital.
Cardiovascular Institute of the South (Lafayette on Heymann).

Outside of a CT Scan, it’d seem hard to catch


There is a biomarker test that can catch it early. Its starting catch on.

This is from 2020 but I think the test has now been validated.


quote:

A novel liquid biopsy method can detect kidney cancers with high accuracy, including small, localized tumors which are often curable but for which no early detection method exists, say scientists from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

The report in Nature Medicine suggests that if validated in larger trials and applied widely, the non-invasive test could find more early kidney cancers when they haven’t spread, thus reducing the mortality of the disease. “Hopefully we can scale this to a much larger level and detect cancer earlier so we can act earlier,” said Toni Choueiri, MD, a co-senior author of the study. He is the director of the Lank Center for Genitourinary Oncology at Dana-Farber.

Call the police. They better have some kind of permit if they are on public property.

I always advocate that people take a good CC class, even though it’s not required to conceal carry anymore. A lot of good information in those.


Yep. A good CC class instructor will point out a lot of critical information.

Massad Ayoob gives some critical advice if a person has to use deadly force.

The perp may be the relative/friend of the police, DA, judge...of the attacking thug. The DA, judge, police officer...could be a woke POS or has some sort of grudge against you or one of your family members.

Lots of people are sitting prison right now because they spoke too much at the scene or at the police station.

Give a brief statement then INVOKE (yes say INVOKE) your right to consult with your lawyer before giving any kind of statement. IOW, BE QUIET.

But guide me on guns for home defense and please include the pros and cons. (Specifically home defense, not for conceal carry or for the car. She already knows what she wants for that)



I would find a good firearms instructor in your area. A gun is not a toy and its use is to be taken very seriously.

Start reading up on the works of Massad Ayoob. He has tons of books and has lots of youtube videos.

Find a good pro-2nd amendment lawyer and have him/her on a retainer just in case you have to use deadly force.

Questions about a stand alone generator:

Looking a combination of both gas and propane powered generator.

Are they worth it? Are they big headaches? What, if any, are the pro and cons of having a combo generator?

TIA
Go to domyown.com You will find what you need.

Use Bora-Care to spray your wood. Use Taurus SC to trench around your house. They sell bait traps as well.

Lots of DIY videos on youtube to help you along.
What a phony. That was faker than a 3 dollar bill.

Even if that was pepper spray, that fool what have been squealing like a pig in a slaughterhouse within a few seconds.

They would have to abandon that room because pepper spray is some strong stuff.

If it was some legit poisonous substance, that clown and the room would be in ICU right now.

She acted like she was some tough guy by going after the patsy.

She needs to be fully investigated and if convicted have all that money in her little winery confiscated and returned to the taxpayers. And then put in prison for a long, long time.

Pathetic.
IDK think no one really knows other than DJT and a few select others.

We now have evidence that a lot of our tax dollars were stolen.

I am about to do my yearly taxes, and I see how much I pay in EVERY year. I start getting hot under the collar, especially knowing that I am being ripped off by a bunch of fraudsters.

Most likely tens of thousands. I will say that most of the junky unsafe 18 wheelers on I-20 around the meta center site in Richland parish is very rare now.

DOT with the cooperation of local LEOs has been shutting down a lot of these crappy 18 wheelers all over.

No shootings, no protestors with idiotic whistles, no clowns at Target buying salt and returning it back.

80,000 lb trucks going down the Interstate at 70-80 mph is dangerous enough. Then throw in the mix a bunch of wore out, unsafe 18 wheelers with illegals who can't speak a word of English. Disaster

Saturday morning, deputies with the Richland Parish Sheriff’s Office focused traffic enforcement efforts on commercial truck traffic entering the Meta construction site. During these traffic stops, 13 individuals who were stopped for traffic violations were found to be unlawfully present in the United States. All individuals were detained and released to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Instead of regular white. brown, wild rice, try cauliflower rice.

Very easy to make and loaded with lots of vitamins and fiber.

And it's pretty tasty. I thought I was not going to like it but

I was pleasantly surprised.

Store it in individual bags in your freezer

It has 5 grams of carbs per cup compared to 45 grams of carbs for brown rice.
