Some questions to VCA: why was you prescribed statins at the first place? Was it primary prevention, or secondary treatment when you had an event that triggered the statin treatment?

🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

I had a pulmonary embolism in '12, superficial blood clot on my left shin ( it was all different colors), its size was was 4 inches bigger than my right leg. Now my left shin has a growing red spot and my right has a red spot and was hard to walk on an still is sore when touched. I was told over the phone it is phlebitis.

How can you get rid of Phlebitis. This didn't say much on how to. I had a pulmonary embolism '12, superficial blood clot on my left shin '22. Now my shins are turning red and one above the ankle is swelling

One year now and my pains have been cut in half no more depression.

40:00 CPD. I recently started this. Its not a part of our medical career ...hasn't been, but it is becoming a 'thing' and i want to believe that there is an excitement to going to a course, program, conference thts tou will meet other like-minded persons, a little more information. It certainly gave me confidence on top of what i already knew as baseline. I imagkne that your team will probably be dynamically changing because oc thd reality of like...people will come and go for various reasons

Hi Dr Gajraj, do you still feel this way about compression, today?

My uncle is suffering from leg ulcer from last 40 years, he is 73 now, odour / smell is coming out of his wounds is unbearable, continuously dirty gel type of water coming out of his legs, in India we concerned to many highly qualified, professionals, experienced doctors, no one detected his ulcers, now we can't see his struggle. It's very tough for his family.

Not the slightest bit helpful.

Do you have an affiliate in California?

Ha. i thought he'll show a remedy he wants to make money? 😅

I'm 71. Just stopped taking statins after 23 years because of chronic heartburn. Have not felt so good for years. Heartburn gone.

Have you had another CAC and/or CT coronary angiogram since 6 years ago? Results? You didn't mention the state of your CX, RCA or LAD...

Garbage.

Do you still do consultations of any kind?

Can it be covered by insurance Such as Medicare

My uncle been struggling with this. For more than a year. I bought a leg compression machine. Have been using for 3 days and can say im seeing improvement. On his leg that has the wound. Its actually healing. The other leg. The discoloration is going away. We got that before it got worse. Just buy the leg compression machine. It really works

@VeinCare Academy - !!! Many thank, doctor... That's exactly what is needed to us !!! ❤🌹🍾

Can it be on the knee

Great to see you both together. Loved this clip and will check out the whole podcast episode. Lets change the world fellow brothers and sisters in the venous and lymphatic medicine space.

Statins earn more money for the doctors and the hospital than any other drug prescribed. Statins have ABSOLUTELY no positive effect on safeguarding the heart or the arteries. They are deleterious to other aspects of the body and one's quality of life. An erroneous paper in 1970 established statins as the drug de jour and that papers has NEVER been revealed for all its errors and its fallacious analysis of this at the time experimental drug called statin. The fact is there are at least two types of LDL and they never look at that aspect : one type is very good and will help your immune system and help you live a long life in the other type is not good and is due to having a bad lifestyle & bad eating habits etc IF you want to decrease your LDL before your test , simply eat a whole box of Oreos and all that sugar will cause the cholesterol to drop and it will look good to your doctor. Needless to say, do not repeat the oreo experiment until you have to go in for another blood test , assuming you want to keep this doctor who is so ill-informed as regards statins and /or really likes tge kick backs from prescribing you this drug. If anything statins increase the risk of heart attack. Taking a statin and thinking now you're safe from dying is the same as taking a covid jab and thinking now you're safe from dying when the fact of the matter is you will die no matter what at some time in your life but neither of those things will prevent your death and they will actually accelerate your death greatly; but the doctor will get a great kick back from each prescription. YOU do know that he has a certain lifestyle that he must maintain. Before the drug industry took over medicine the life of a doctor was not that lucrative and people that went into it actually wanted to help people and that's why they went into it. Not so now.

Hi. Is it recommended if I had viral myocarditis?

I have that on my lower right leg and it hurts !!

Does the use of foam allow for the sclerosant to ‘flow’ better thru the spider complex?

If you scleroses spider vein and get a blob of sclerosant at the needle tip,do you massage the sclerosant into the spider veins Even with magnification it can be difficult to insert the needle tip into a spider vein each time.

Please put on some gloves.

Short and sweet

A recent study shows that LDL is not a problem. I'm impressed that you figured it out so long ago.

I have been going to a medspa to get them lasered so many times but nothing has worked! I made an appt with a vascular doctor for better treatment. My legs are always cold and discolored.

Do you get withdrawals if you stop taking statins ?

Could you please give an overview about the equipment necessary for sclerotherapy

can you do a video on post-sclerotherapy hyperpigmentation

Don't quit statins. There is a proven, statistical connection between the use of statins and drug company profits.

Doctor put me on statins in my early 40s. I took them about 4 mo. I became crippled. I couldn't walk or get out of bed. He said I would have a heart attack and die without them. I quit taking then. 25 years and I'm still here. I would have lived as a cripple had I not stopped taken statins. I'll take my chances and walk.

Good for you. I've been diagnosed D2 for 19 years. They have tried to coerce me onto Statins at every check-up for the last 5 years. I've even put in writing to the GP practice manager that I don't want to hear any more about the 'S' word until I'm 70. Makes no difference, so they are clearly under orders to push it on us all.

Excellent and well-balanced interview we have come to expect from Dr. Gajraj. The true value of Varixio is standardization of foam creation which serves 2 important purposes. 1) MORE venous practitioners will become -- and have become -- more comfortable performing UGFS as they perceive VArixio-genrated foam to be more "safe". (UGFS is underutilized worldwide and patients are suffering!) 2) Standardization of foam creation utilizing Varixio advances the robustness of foam research because the quality of foam will be uniform when investigators compare foam with foam and other venous ablation modalities like thermal ablation. It is TRULY remarkable that hundreds of peer-reviewed journal articles have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of foam despite virtually every practitioner of foam using a variably standardized method to create foam (Tessari Method), AND widely varied protocols and injection techniques. Varixio promises to remove the quality of foam generation as a variable in future studies of foam.

Spider veins is it dangerous

Genetics is the number one decider of heart disease risk. I have been running 3 times a week for 40 years and have good diet during the week but found out recently that I am at high risk for heart disease. I was put on statins for the last few months and unfortunately have gained 7+ pounds. Go figure the explanation of that! Work with your doctor. We are all different.

Read the book The Pathophysiology of Heart Didease by Leonard .S. Lilly MD of Harvard Medical School. Vitamin B3 as just as good and has no side effect !!

I have a leg ulcer for the past nineteen years what is the best treatment for me

Hey. Love the videos. I have been thinking of adding short wave diathermy to our vein practice. Can you outline what equipment/disposables you need other then the Epil 100 system? ie needle holder, type of needles and where you get them from. Thanks!

Interesting. Are there any less invasive tests to check real risk. Like a c reactive protein test. Are you still alive ? This was six years ago. Tell me you're still alive 😁😅

Alcohol and diet 💯

where can one sign up for such a treatment?

Is kidney disease/failure/on dialysis a risk factor?

Why is there so much discrepancy about which method to use. Other vascular surgeons say phelebectomy is the right treatment others say foam. I thought the majority thinks foam isn't ideal for larger surface varicose veins because of phelbitis and clots?? Then its the stress of choosing the wrong method.

What a dork! 🤣

Quite right I am strugglimg with yhis very specific problem and I am quite frustrated about it. I will mindlessly scroll away now.
