Man with end-stage heart disease was given 6 months to live. His arteries were filled with plaqueDiscovers a radical treatment buried in the scientific literature that literally no one knows aboutTreats himself and tracks all of his biomarkers. After less than 2 months:- Right carotid plaque down by 36% and 27%- Triglycerides down by 75%Still alive, and his name is Kyle HodgettsGoes on to coauthor and publish his n= 1 dataThe “obscure treatment” = Beta-Cyclodextrin (hydroxypropyl-B-cyclodextrin)A molecule with such widespread use that it essentially can’t be patented, and is currently being investigated in early trials for its efficacy on a wider scale. Indeed, it can be purchased by anyone online.And it is entirely possible that it turns out to be a major challenge to multi-billion dollar statin industry, and it has very few reported side effects. Kyle eventually set up a company making a version of cyclodextrin which can be administered rectally, due to its poor oral bioavailability.The simplified proposed mechanism of action:- Binds cholesterol esters and sterols, carries them out of the body (via urine)- Dissolves cholesterol crystals- Restore endothelial nitric oxide synthase- Activates the LXR pathway
