291405 - of range, explained by Doctor Johnson during a meeting at Kaiser on
291406 - 030606. ref SDS 1 JP7G In November hiked over 300 miles and over 100
291407 - miles the last week in November. Similarly, last week in December
291408 - hiked 127 miles. January yielded hiking only 242 miles due to severe

291411 - ..
291412 - WBC elevated at high end of range indicates EPCs may also be elevated
291413 - by increased endurance exercise, e.g., hiking 127 miles the last week
291414 - in December and hiking 11 miles per day for last 14 days in a row.

610572 - ref SDS 42 PSXT
610574 - ..
610575 - For some reason VA did not test T Bilirubin for recovery from
610576 - diagnosis of hyperbilirubinemia associated with statin
610577 - medication treating hyperlipidemia.
610579 - ..
610580 - T Bilirubin 1.5 elevated slightly above range shows decline
610581 - from 1.9 in lab 2 months ago on 141201, and dramatic decline
610582 - from Bilirubin 2.5 reported for lab at VA Martinez Clinic
610583 - performed 6 months ago on 140814 1530. ref SDS 70 015M This

610589 - study on 120101 0900. ref SDS 21 TV6I
610591 - ..
610592 - Bilirubin may have declined this cycle because statin treatment
610593 - was reduced by missing treatment for 12 days due to delays
610594 - receiving refills for Ezetimibe, reported to VA in the letter
610595 - on 141218 0359. ref SDS 83 5N3O Effects missing statin
610596 - treatment further evident when prescription was resumed on
610597 - delivery of Ezetimibe. Patient suffered significant
610598 - dehydration for several weeks readjusting to statin treatment,
610599 - shown by frequent urination and feet becoming dry with skin
610600 - cracking and bleeding. The problem was compounded by pausing
610601 - hiking 11 miles per day due to weather and injuries. Several
610602 - weeks after weather improved and injuries were resolved through
610603 - healing and bandaging resuming hiking 11 miles per day further
610604 - resolved dehydration, shown by resolution of cracking and
610605 - bleeding on bottom of both feet.
610607 - ..
610608 - On 140819 0800 during meeting with Doctor Sandhu in Primary
610609 - Care VA Clinic in Martinez, there was no review of chronic
610610 - hyperbilirubinemia, with T Bilirubin 2.5 rising 110% above
610611 - range, ref SDS 72 9K7I, shown in lab ordered by the doctor on

610620 - ..
610621 - On 131017 1000 Doctor Egan explained patient history of
610622 - intermittant and mild peripheral neuropathy that correlates
610623 - with persistent elevated T Bilirubin in lab on 131015,
610624 - ref SDS 40 015M, and further reported with vitals, diet and
610625 - exercise since prior meeting at VA on 130603, see case study on
610626 - 120101 0900, ref SDS 21 X14N, suggests intervention is not

610634 - Potassium 5.5 in VA lab comparable to 5.3 in Labcorp results
610635 - rising 20% above VA range of 4.8, and noticably above prior VA
610636 - results of Potassium 4.4 on 141021, may reflect increased
610637 - hiking since last VA test, see history of hiking mileage below.
610638 - ref SDS 0 ZY7M
610640 - ..
610641 - Similarly, dramatic decline in hiking for 6 weeks from June to
610642 - August last year (see again hiking history below, ref SDS 0
610643 - ZY7M), and reported on the agenda for meeting with Doctor
610644 - Sandhu in Primary Care, which was submitted on 140814 2227.
610645 - ref SDS 71 K098, may correlate with potassium falling back
610646 - within range, at that time. This record shows correlation
610647 - between elevated Potassium and extended endurance hiking.
610649 - ..
610650 - Doctor Egan, referring cardiology physician at Martinez VA,
610651 - noted in a letter that meeting at VA Medical Center in San
610652 - Francisco on 140213 0830, ref SDS 56 GT7G, did not address
610653 - elevated potassium in labs performed by Labcorp and VA, shown
610654 - on 140203 1147. ref SDS 53 ZG5O Doctor Egan again notified
610655 - that this condition of elevated potassium represents exposure
610656 - to "electrical problems" with the heart, reported on 140430.
610657 - ref SDS 58 UV5I
610659 - ..
610660 - Doctor Egan was concerned last year about potassium (K) rising
610661 - above range for good health. He explained potassium effects
610662 - electrical signals to the heart, and so has significance for
610663 - CVD, reported during meeting at VA on 121206 0900. ref SDS 32
610664 - 6K56
610666 - ..
610667 - At that time on 121206, the doctor cited medication conflicts
610668 - as possibly causing elevated potassium. ref SDS 32 FI7L Doctor
610669 - Egan further considered dehydration (urination) caused by
610670 - Rosuvastatin may have skewed lab results for electrolytes on
610671 - 121130, and so ordered re-test. ref SDS 32 6K4J
610673 - ..
610674 - On 121212 0941 re-test lab reported Glucose 111, sodium 139,
610675 - and potassium (K) 4.6, all within range, ref SDS 33 KK9M,

610681 - 3. Glucose 108......65 - 115......... ref SDS 0 ZG5O
610682 -
610683 - VA test today showing glucose 108 for range 65-115 appears
610684 - comparable to Labcorp test yesterday showing glucose 89 for
610685 - range 65 - 99, and has remained within VA range, compared to
610686 - prior VA test on 141021. ref SDS 77 ZG5O
610688 - ..
610689 - Diabetes concern from reduced hiking due to metatarsalgia side
610690 - effects, causing weight to increase at times above 180; this
610691 - has subisded the past month, because hiking increased
610692 - significantly, as set out below. ref SDS 0 DC6L

610712 -
610713 - For some reason LDH was not tested in VA lab today, despite
610714 - recent history of elevated results. LDH 240 in Labcorp test
610715 - yesterday, showing slight decline may reflect reduced hiking
610716 - compared to prior test on 141201, but since hiking overall
610717 - increased to 300 miles per month LDH remains elevated above

810671 - Analysis....
810672 -
810673 - 1. VA results today HDL 70 and Triglycerides 50 are approximately
810674 - 20% better than Labcorp HDL 66 and TG 66, reported the day
810675 - before on 150208, ref SDS 0 U45J, indicating effects on lipid
810676 - labs from endurance exercise hiking 11 miles in 167 minutes,
810677 - i.e., 15 minute miles, for 1 more day.
810679 - ..
810680 - LDL-P 600 estimated from VA results for HDL and TG on 150809,
810681 - based on Liposcience NMR LDL-P 709 reported in lipid test the
810682 - day before on 150208, ref SDS 0 U45J, and indicating continued
810683 - improvement reported for prior lab finding LDL-P 656 on 141201
810684 - 0850. ref SDS 82 U45J
810686 - ..
810687 - The test today shows high levels of physical activity in
810688 - relation to patient history, hiking 11 miles in < 170 minutes
810689 - for 21 days in a row, including the best time ever, 158
810690 - minutes. This is a breakthrough in conditioning that exceeds
810691 - prior levels, since the longest period hiking < 170 minutes for
810692 - 11 miles was only 6 days in a row. Conditioning deteriorated
810693 - to doing 11 miles in 192 minutes on 141011, shown in case study
810694 - on 120101 0900. ref SDS 21 PUWT Now 2 tests 2+ months apart
810695 - yield comparable results, with slightly higher LDL-P this cycle
810696 - reflecting reduced hiking due to inclement weather and
810697 - injuries.
810699 - ..
810700 - 2. Research indicates healthiest cardiovascular condition occurs
810701 - with lowest risk for CVD, when lipids are discordant, with
810702 - LDL-P low and LDL-C high. However, greatest risk for CVD is
810703 - LDL-P high and LDL-C low, shown in the record on 131125 0005.
810704 - ref SDS 46 FI3G

810709 - reported on 131112 1422. ref SDS 44 HT87

810712 - VA lowering goal to HDL > 35, per above, ref SDS 85 5C7M, from >
810713 - 40 seems conflicting with patient history of CABG +4 on 091022
810714 - 0700. ref SDS 7 PQWU Since HDL 30 was found at that time (see
810715 - Lipid history below, ref SDS 63 W25L, setting the bar at HDL 35

810717 - endothelium lesions causing atheriosclerotic plaque.
810719 - ..
810720 - 3. Resting heart rate getting up in the mornings has dropped below
810721 - 50. Blood pressure averages about 127 68; however, systolic
810722 - often drops below 120, and diastolic often falls below 60.
810723 - After 11 mile hikes blood pressure drops to about 105 55.
810724 - Systolic on occassion falls below 90. Dystalic has fallen
810725 - below 50 - e.g., see Saturday, 141018, reported in case study
810726 - on 120101 0900, ref SDS 21 V83O Heart rate now recovers well
810727 - after strenuous exercise, often falling back below 60 within 20
810728 - minutes or so.

810736 - been steady taking Atorvastatin 10 mg and Ezetimibe 10 mg for
810737 - 12 months, varying between 157 - 174. ref SDS 79 W25L This
810738 - increase may reflect 12 day pause taking Atorvastatin 10 mg and

810793 - positive effect on weight consuming calories and
810794 - triglycerides, and also reducing time and interest for
810795 - eating. Lower weight tends to reduce tryglycerides, which
810796 - tends to increase LDL-P size = 21.0, as shown in current
810797 - lab, per above. ref SDS 85 5C86 Evidence indicates weight

810810 - Hiked 11 miles per day in < 170 minutes for 20 days in a
810811 - row; hiking 14 - 15 minute miles every day reflects order
810812 - of magnitude improvement in body condition; previous best
810813 - was only 6 days in a row. This change in body condition
810814 - may reconcile 33% decline in LDL-P 656, and 20% better than
810815 - prior best lipid report before side effect injuries that
810816 - caused hiking to decline 70%, leading to poor Lipids.

810819 - The last week in December hiked 127 miles, all below 170
810820 - minutes per 11 mile lap, i.e., 15 minute miles, shown in
810821 - case study. ref SDS 48 KU6F
810823 - ..
810824 - January hiking distance declined and speed increased
810825 - slightly because of severe cold weather and also due to
810826 - injuries. This decline in endurance exercise may have
810827 - caused LDL-P to rise slightly from 656 to 709 in the
