[00:15.120 --> 00:18.420] Welcome back, my friends, to the Dr. Reality Podcast. [00:18.420 --> 00:19.720] I'm Dave Champion. [00:19.720 --> 00:26.600] I am a huge advocate of N of 1, where we use ourselves as the first and best test subject. [00:26.600 --> 00:29.720] I've done that for years now with physiology. [00:29.720 --> 00:34.680] Today I want to share with you another N of 1 experiment that I ran, which was to go [00:34.680 --> 00:39.320] have a CAC scan. [00:39.320 --> 00:49.920] C-A-C, coronary artery calcium, also known as a coronary calcium scoring test or scan. [00:49.920 --> 00:59.240] Mine was done in Las Vegas on a Siemens Somatome Go dot all A-L-L-C-T, the CT standing for [00:59.240 --> 01:01.300] computer tomography. [01:01.300 --> 01:09.760] The claim to fame of the Siemens Somatome Go dot all is that it is low radiation, and [01:09.760 --> 01:14.800] there is one in all of the state of Nevada, and that's where I went. [01:14.800 --> 01:19.040] It's not at all like getting an MRI where it's very loud and noisy if you've had an [01:19.040 --> 01:20.040] MRI. [01:20.040 --> 01:23.820] You know, clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk, nothing like that. [01:23.820 --> 01:29.000] This particular device, there was a little bit of humming and some little tiny clicks [01:29.000 --> 01:30.440] and that was about it. [01:30.440 --> 01:35.160] I was literally from the time I walked into the room where there is the Somatome device [01:35.160 --> 01:38.640] sitting until I walked out of the room was five minutes. [01:38.640 --> 01:41.760] And you don't have to get undressed and remove everything from your pockets and everything [01:41.760 --> 01:45.880] else like you do with a magnetic resonance imaging device. [01:45.880 --> 01:47.760] So that made it kind of cool. [01:47.760 --> 01:53.700] Physically it's kind of like, I guess you'd say like a three foot thick white wall with [01:53.700 --> 02:00.220] a donut in the center, and they have a mechanized, I don't know what you would call it, a platform. [02:00.220 --> 02:03.900] And for this particular test you lay down on that with your feet towards the machine. [02:03.900 --> 02:06.260] You put your arms up over your head. [02:06.260 --> 02:09.480] The automated platform then rises up. [02:09.480 --> 02:12.840] It slides your feet in, then the knees, then the hips. [02:12.840 --> 02:18.360] In this particular test, the CAC, your head and arms are not within the device. [02:18.360 --> 02:23.620] It pauses, a little voice says, please inhale. [02:23.620 --> 02:25.580] And hold your breath. [02:25.580 --> 02:30.260] So you do that, the machine goes humm, tic, tic, tic, tic, tic, tic. [02:30.260 --> 02:33.700] And then the little voice says, breathe naturally. [02:33.700 --> 02:36.540] Like I said, I was at it in about five minutes. [02:36.540 --> 02:42.700] Coronary calcium scoring is intended to be predictive of your risk of heart disease or [02:42.700 --> 02:44.620] heart attack. [02:44.620 --> 02:53.300] But like a lot of cardiology science, it's not as precise as the doctors would have you [02:53.300 --> 02:54.660] believe. [02:54.660 --> 03:02.180] As an example, the device measures volume of calcium, but it does not measure density. [03:02.180 --> 03:09.120] And density is a telling factor in the predictive value, so take that for what it's worth. [03:09.120 --> 03:17.100] With that said, the CAC scan remains at this moment the platinum standard in predictive [03:17.100 --> 03:20.620] value concerning heart disease and heart attack. [03:20.620 --> 03:27.900] The scan is able to detect and is looking for calcium in the four primary arteries of [03:27.900 --> 03:28.900] your heart. [03:28.900 --> 03:32.420] Now I want to be clear, these aren't arteries moving away from the heart. [03:32.420 --> 03:34.260] This is not, for instance, your aorta. [03:34.260 --> 03:37.100] These are arteries within the heart. [03:37.100 --> 03:41.760] These are the arteries that provide nutrients and oxygen to the tissue of your heart and [03:41.760 --> 03:43.060] then remove waste. [03:43.060 --> 03:47.980] Obviously, a pretty important function if you want your heart to be operating correctly. [03:47.980 --> 03:53.980] When I say it's looking for calcium, it's not just calcium moving around within say [03:53.980 --> 03:56.420] the arteries because that doesn't happen. [03:56.420 --> 04:03.180] It's looking for calcium affixed to the walls of the coronary arteries. [04:03.180 --> 04:07.120] So these arteries that the device is examining, what do these arteries look like? [04:07.120 --> 04:11.420] The best example I can give you, especially here on a podcast, is imagine that you had [04:11.420 --> 04:17.540] a globe like say the earth and then at the very, very top you dripped paint on all four [04:17.540 --> 04:24.340] accesses as the paint would run down those four equidistant points on the globe. [04:24.340 --> 04:29.420] That would be somewhat analogous to how your coronary arteries are. [04:29.420 --> 04:30.420] They're not quite that straight. [04:30.420 --> 04:33.900] They're not quite that simple, but that's a pretty good analogy to understand we're [04:33.900 --> 04:40.340] looking at four of the arteries and they furnish oxygen and nutrients to all of the heart. [04:40.340 --> 04:45.700] When we talk about predictive value of heart disease or heart attack, does that have to [04:45.700 --> 04:48.500] do with calcium being in the coronary arteries? [04:48.500 --> 04:53.220] I'm going to try and explain this in a way that a cardiologist never would because to [04:53.220 --> 04:57.060] explain it this way would require them to get into the truth of what's really happening. [04:57.060 --> 05:01.580] Of course, big med doesn't want to get into that with patients. [05:01.580 --> 05:05.220] So here's the way this works. [05:05.220 --> 05:10.340] Inflammation causes these very small injuries. [05:10.340 --> 05:14.540] We'll call them sores so that we can sort of relate to them like if you get a scratch [05:14.620 --> 05:21.620] or something on your arm, you have a small sore that develops from inflammation in the [05:21.860 --> 05:25.180] wall of the coronary arteries. [05:25.180 --> 05:29.580] What happens then is the body has a mechanism by which it heals that. [05:29.580 --> 05:33.660] So the first thing it does is it sends in the cholesterol. [05:33.660 --> 05:38.060] A good analogy for the cholesterol is you could sort of think of it as spackle if there's [05:38.060 --> 05:43.180] a scratch or a bump in your wall and you put some spackle in there to fill that up. [05:43.340 --> 05:49.260] The cholesterol is doing that in the form of salving that injury. [05:49.260 --> 05:52.300] But of course cholesterol is a pliable substance. [05:52.300 --> 05:58.140] So along comes the calcium and the calcium forms, for lack of a better description, a [05:58.140 --> 06:01.300] hard shell over the top of the cholesterol. [06:01.300 --> 06:07.260] A good way for us to envision the cholesterol with the hard surface of calcium over the [06:07.260 --> 06:14.260] top of it is that it is a scab within one of the four primary coronary arteries. [06:15.780 --> 06:22.780] That's exactly how your body is intended to heal these occasional injuries. [06:22.780 --> 06:26.780] We'll be talking about that a little bit more here in a moment, but let's talk about what [06:26.780 --> 06:28.980] the scoring is. [06:28.980 --> 06:33.780] If you have absolutely zero calcium, your score is going to be zero. [06:33.780 --> 06:35.700] Yeah, I know, shocking, right? [06:35.700 --> 06:42.020] So the facility at which I had my scan done said the highest number they had ever recorded [06:42.020 --> 06:46.900] on a patient was 6,500, so that gives you, obviously that's crazy extreme, but that gives [06:46.900 --> 06:51.780] you an idea of how high the calcium scoring can go. [06:51.780 --> 06:57.500] Depending on the doctor, some doctors think they need to begin having a conversation with [06:57.500 --> 06:59.220] you at 300. [06:59.220 --> 07:03.080] Some doctors won't have a conversation with you until 400. [07:03.080 --> 07:05.280] So you kind of have an idea. [07:05.280 --> 07:12.280] Zero is obviously the gold standard, and then you get up to around, they say about 100 is [07:12.280 --> 07:17.160] a place where there should be perhaps some concern, but as I said, when I've spoken to [07:17.160 --> 07:22.000] doctors they're like, yeah, we don't do anything until somebody's 300 or 400. [07:22.000 --> 07:27.520] So now that you understand all of that about the CAC scan, let's take a look at my results. [07:27.520 --> 07:34.360] I want to start with a quote from the National Institutes of Health from a report about calcium [07:34.360 --> 07:36.720] in the coronary arteries. [07:36.720 --> 07:44.720] The NIH report says, and I quote, as people grow older, fat, cholesterol, and calcium [07:44.720 --> 07:47.920] build up in the walls of the artery. [07:47.920 --> 07:50.460] Let me read that again. [07:50.460 --> 07:58.060] As people grow older, fat, cholesterol, and calcium build up in the walls of the artery. [07:58.060 --> 08:00.300] All right, so here in just a couple months I'm going to be 62. [08:00.300 --> 08:02.020] I think that qualifies as older. [08:02.020 --> 08:08.060] So in theory, I should have a pretty decent amount of calcium built up in my coronary [08:08.060 --> 08:12.060] arteries, according to the National Institutes of Health. [08:12.060 --> 08:18.620] But perhaps there are some mitigating circumstance that the National Institutes of Health fail [08:18.780 --> 08:21.380] to take into account. [08:21.380 --> 08:25.580] National Institutes of Health funded to the tune of billions of dollars that there's just [08:25.580 --> 08:29.580] something they missed accidentally. [08:29.580 --> 08:35.520] In my case, I've been living in ketosis for years and I've been eating the carnivore style [08:35.520 --> 08:39.580] for 18 months. [08:39.580 --> 08:45.460] According to the establishment narrative, I should be dead. [08:45.460 --> 08:49.580] But even if I'm not dead, according to the establishment narrative, I should absolutely [08:49.580 --> 08:55.140] without a doubt have heart disease and I should be on the brink of death. [08:55.140 --> 08:57.500] So am I? [08:57.500 --> 09:03.020] I said that the scan looks at the four primary coronary arteries. [09:03.020 --> 09:07.620] So we're going to look at these on my scan one at a time. [09:07.620 --> 09:11.740] First the left main artery. [09:11.740 --> 09:15.740] My calcium score was zero. [09:15.740 --> 09:18.540] The left circumflex artery. [09:18.540 --> 09:22.700] My calcium score was zero. [09:22.700 --> 09:24.500] The right coronary artery. [09:24.500 --> 09:29.180] My calcium score was zero. [09:29.180 --> 09:32.940] And lastly, my left descending anterior artery. [09:32.940 --> 09:37.080] My calcium score was not zero. [09:37.080 --> 09:38.080] It was 6.3. [09:39.080 --> 09:44.920] Okay, so 6.3 is really statistically, it's about as close to zero as you can be. [09:44.920 --> 09:48.680] But 6.3 telegraphs something. [09:48.680 --> 09:54.400] It telegraphs that there was some small injury in that right anterior artery. [09:54.400 --> 10:00.120] And to fix that small injury, my body sent cholesterol to stab it as we talked about [10:00.120 --> 10:03.920] earlier and then it sent in the calcium to form a hard surface over the cholesterol and [10:03.920 --> 10:10.920] perform the healing exactly as anyone who has a small injury in their arterial wall [10:10.920 --> 10:13.480] lining would want the body to do. [10:13.480 --> 10:15.340] So this is a positive. [10:15.340 --> 10:19.600] You might be asking, where did that injury come from? [10:19.600 --> 10:21.240] Was it inflammation based? [10:21.240 --> 10:22.600] Almost certainly so. [10:22.600 --> 10:28.660] However, the more specific reason for that we'll likely never know. [10:28.660 --> 10:33.820] The most likely scenario is that I had some sort of low-grade infection, which I was probably [10:33.820 --> 10:38.420] totally unaware, that created some inflammation that for one reason or another created a small [10:38.420 --> 10:42.280] injury in the left descending anterior artery of my heart. [10:42.280 --> 10:45.380] And so my body did exactly what I would want it to do. [10:45.380 --> 10:50.800] I'm going to guess since it's 6.3 that whatever this little thing was, it happened a bit ago. [10:50.800 --> 10:59.420] And so the 6.3 is a result of the calcium cap that's over the cholesterol fading away. [10:59.420 --> 11:03.800] I'm going to have another CAC scan in about a year and I'm going to predict by then I'll [11:03.800 --> 11:05.520] be back down to zero. [11:05.520 --> 11:10.720] The important takeaways I share this with you is that I'm clearly not atherosclerotic. [11:10.720 --> 11:14.000] In other words, I don't have heart disease. [11:14.000 --> 11:18.960] Heart disease doesn't have a little 6.3 injury in one of the coronary arteries and the other [11:18.960 --> 11:22.140] three arteries are completely clear as are mine. [11:22.140 --> 11:26.060] So here I am, almost 62 years of age. [11:26.060 --> 11:30.300] The old people that NIH is talking about. [11:30.300 --> 11:35.820] So I should have a ton of calcium in my coronary arteries and in fact I have one tiny little [11:35.820 --> 11:37.580] 6.3 issue. [11:37.580 --> 11:42.060] Also I do the exact opposite of what people at NIH suggest. [11:42.060 --> 11:45.920] I eat nothing but red meat. [11:45.920 --> 11:49.820] And according to them, I should absolutely have heart disease. [11:49.820 --> 11:51.660] I should be almost dead. [11:51.660 --> 11:54.900] I don't have any heart disease at all. [11:54.900 --> 12:01.420] It's almost as if NIH is lying, but they wouldn't do that, would they? [12:01.420 --> 12:07.060] And that brings us to really what is the punchline of my sharing this CAC scan story with you. [12:07.060 --> 12:12.260] To just share my personal numbers isn't really all that significant, but the punchline is. [12:12.260 --> 12:19.060] And that is that the societal or establishment narrative about what your body does with the [12:19.060 --> 12:24.140] various macros that you eat, the protein, the fats, and the carbohydrates. [12:24.140 --> 12:30.260] That narrative is a complete and utter lie and I am living proof of that. [12:30.260 --> 12:31.940] I just shared it with you. [12:31.940 --> 12:34.020] I am nearly 62 years of age. [12:34.020 --> 12:39.620] I eat nothing but red meat and I do not have heart disease, as they would tell you I must [12:39.620 --> 12:44.880] have doing the opposite of what they tell you you have to do. [12:44.880 --> 12:48.420] So what does actually cause heart disease? [12:48.420 --> 12:51.820] What actually causes chronic inflammation? [12:51.820 --> 12:53.580] Well, simple. [12:53.580 --> 12:58.060] It's elevated blood glucose, which then elevates insulin. [12:58.060 --> 13:01.640] The elevated insulin then signals a whole bunch of activities that I discuss in detail [13:01.640 --> 13:09.020] in body science, which eventually brings your blood glucose level down and then you increase [13:09.020 --> 13:14.260] your blood glucose level again and that causes a high insulin response again and all those [13:14.260 --> 13:18.260] things occur that I just mentioned and the blood glucose goes down and then you eat something [13:18.260 --> 13:21.580] and your blood glucose goes up and then the insulin brings the glucose down. [13:21.580 --> 13:22.980] Yeah, it's obnoxious, isn't it? [13:22.980 --> 13:25.780] Okay, so it's obnoxious more than me just saying it. [13:25.780 --> 13:27.780] It's obnoxious to your body. [13:27.780 --> 13:34.900] That causes chronic inflammation, chronic, serious and constant inflammation. [13:34.900 --> 13:39.340] And guess what causes those little injuries inside your coronary arteries? [13:39.340 --> 13:42.540] Yes, chronic inflammation. [13:42.540 --> 13:45.740] So I talked about the fact that when you have these little injuries, you want the cholesterol [13:45.740 --> 13:50.300] to come in and provide and sort of serve as the salve and then you want the calcium [13:50.300 --> 13:54.820] to come and put us more or less hard covering over the cholesterol that's serving us as [13:54.820 --> 13:57.300] salve because that's the healing process. [13:57.300 --> 13:59.460] But here's the problem. [13:59.460 --> 14:02.740] These arteries are small. [14:02.740 --> 14:10.860] So it doesn't take very many scabs before it constitutes an obstruction, which is profoundly [14:10.860 --> 14:13.500] bad when the blood can't get through, right? [14:13.500 --> 14:19.860] And then the scabs, because remember I said the calcium provides this hard surface, okay, [14:19.860 --> 14:24.780] and that's attached to the outside edges of the location that's being healed. [14:24.780 --> 14:28.220] So it's attached to the arterial walls. [14:28.220 --> 14:30.760] The calcium is rigid. [14:30.760 --> 14:31.760] It doesn't move. [14:31.760 --> 14:32.760] It's not flexible. [14:32.760 --> 14:34.740] It's not like the arterial walls. [14:34.740 --> 14:40.400] So when it attaches itself to the arterial walls, the arterial walls cease to be flexible. [14:40.400 --> 14:45.200] So suddenly you've got this profusion of these what I'm for the purpose of this presentation [14:45.200 --> 14:51.160] calling scabs in the coronary arteries, and it is inhibiting not just the blood flow, [14:51.160 --> 14:57.520] but it is inhibiting the flexibility of the arteries, which is absolutely essential. [14:57.520 --> 14:59.260] They have to be flexible. [14:59.260 --> 15:04.000] This is what the medical industry calls atherosclerosis or heart disease. [15:04.000 --> 15:10.000] And it comes from glucose, insulin, glucose, insulin, glucose, insulin, glucose, Jesus. [15:10.000 --> 15:16.480] So the reason I don't have calcium in my coronary arteries is I don't do that. [15:16.480 --> 15:19.040] And the way to not do that is to live in ketosis. [15:19.040 --> 15:23.620] Now, you can do the keto diet or you can do some other sort of modified various diets. [15:23.620 --> 15:30.560] In my case, I do carnivore, but I stay in ketosis 100% of the time and have for years [15:30.560 --> 15:37.100] now my cells, the 100 trillion cells of my body have no interest in glucose.
