So today we’re going to talk about how

to get rid of xanthomas what is a

xanthoma a xanthoma is a buildup of

cholesterol and triglycerides on the top

of the skin it’s actually these cells

called macrophages which is an immune

cell that eats up things and it’s

sucking up too much cholesterol and

triglyceride and it’s in your skin and

it shows up as this yellowish white

deposit sometimes on the inside of the

eyelid right through here on both sides

or in the palm of the hand

or your elbows your knees your Achilles

tendon and that’s all very interesting

but what is at the bottom of this what

is really causing this and then how do

we get rid of it but first let’s talk

about what we know about xanthomas we do

know that many times these xanthomas are

associated okay they don’t say caused by

but they’re associated with some type of

hereditary lipid disorder okay lipids

are fats so one example would be a

familial hyper cholesterol anemia and

that’s a hereditary condition that’s

passed on by your genes where you have

high cholesterol which is very resistant

to various types of treatment it’s

really a problem where you don’t have

enough receptors in your liver for LDL

cholesterol and so your body just can’t

get rid of this cholesterol so sometimes

it’ll back up in the skin and show up as

these xanthemas but it’s also associated

with various other things that I want to

talk about too one being delivery track

obstruction what is that that is a

blockage of your bile ducts because bile

is the primary thing that gets rid of

excess cholesterol you just have excess

cholesterol because the bile can’t do

its job then you have another condition

called primary biliary cirrhosis and

this is another condition where we’re

getting a blockage of the bile things

are not flowing correctly through the

bile ducts so we’re going to have a

problem with getting rid of cholesterol

then we have another condition called

choleostasis now the term stasis means

stagnant it’s non-moving okay so the

cholesterol is not moving through the

body there’s sludge in the bile ducts

and this is actually I find it’s very

common in a lot of people they have this

bile sludge that is not along the flow

of bile and they have all sorts of

issues with right shoulder pain because

of the backup of the system with

inability to digest fats with

um discomfort underneath the right rib

cage with an increased risk of getting

gallstones which is a bile salt

deficiency and choleostasis which is his

bio sludge is really kind of like the

step that occurs before you get a stone

because bile helps thin this sludge and

xanthalmas are also associated with high

A1C and diabetes which means there’s too

much glucose in your blood and so when

someone has this xanthoma okay it’s a

little red indicator light letting you

know that you have high cholesterol

probably high triglycerides and probably

high LDL caused by the things I just

mentioned a lot of times people have

this idea that if they have high

cholesterol or triglycerides in their

blood that means they’re consuming more

cholesterol fat or triglycerides when in

fact this is not always the case carbs

sugar refined carbohydrates convert very

easily to triglycerides and color strong

and so your high LDL cholesterol and

triglycerides could be coming just

because you’re consuming too many carbs

not necessarily fat and on the flip side

of that many times people think that the

ketogenic diet is really a high fat diet

when actually the ketogenic diet really

means low carb it doesn’t mean

necessarily high fat but of course when

you lower your carbs and you have

moderate protein you end up eating a lot

of fat but to generate ketones you do it

by lowering your carbs all right so what

can someone do about these xanthomas

okay I’m going to give you a list of

things the most important thing is to

take niacin in the amount of niacin I

would recommend would be 500 milligrams

extended release and I would take that

two to three times a day by the way

niacin is one of the most potent ways to

lower cholesterol in the body especially

the buildup of cholesterol in different

parts of the body as well as reducing

the uptake of LDL by the macrophage okay

number two I would recommend choline

okay choline is a supplement choline

helps to prevent a fatty liver choline

helps to reduce cholesterol number three

tadka what is tuck cup it’s a very

specialized type of bile salt that helps

cholestasis which is that stagnant

cholesterol in your bile ducts it helps

the flow of cholesterol it helps reduce

cholesterol it helps The receptors in

the liver take on LDL it helps to lower

LDL cholesterol it does a lot but what

we want is a nice flow of cholesterol

out of the liver so you can get rid of

the excess cholesterol so niacin choline

Tucka okay I also recommend consuming

huge salads okay like seven to ten cups

of salad every single day and I would

also put walnuts on the salad because

they’re high in the precursor for

omega-3 fatty acids okay which actually

helps lower cholesterol and I would also

put extra virgin olive oil with some

garlic on there and that’s going to

assist in getting rid of some of this

cholesterol now the next recommendation

is to exercise every day especially if

you have high triglycerides those extra

triglycerides in your bloodstream can be

burned off with using more energy so we

need to add exercise into this protocol

all right the next recommendation is to

try to get a good portion of your

protein from fish or seafood high in

omega-3 fatty acids that will also help

there’s a product that you can get

called red yeast rice extract is like a

natural version of a Statin it is very

powerful in lowering your cholesterol

you may not need it but if you have a

very very stubborn situation where you

can’t bring your cholesterol down that

would be something I would investigate

and look at implementing as well number

eight doing the healthy ketogenic diet

with a Twist so you just did a ketogenic

diet without adding

a lot of fat okay consume fat in this

ketogenic plan that normally comes with

the protein just don’t add more fat like

don’t add more butter or keto desserts

or all these other extra fats and maybe

the fats that you do focus on would be

the avocado oil the olive oil the

omega-3 oils in either cod liver oil or

fish oil or sardines but this way we can

lower the carbs so we don’t get this

extra conversion of cholesterol being

created especially if you are a diabetic

or you have a high A1C and the last

thing is doing intermittent fasting that

can greatly assist in regulating your

cholesterol profiles now since I

mentioned niacin as the number one thing

to do if you haven’t seen this video on

niacin it’ll give you a lot more data

check it out I put it up right here
