Dr Joe,
Please explain ''plaque 2''. What do you use to measure this?
Thanks.

PLAC-2 is the name or a blood test measuring La-PLA2 that measures inflammation from the plaque in arteries or from viruses. Cholesterol levels do not do indicate chance of stroke and we have found success in keeping all vascular disease to a minimum with therapy reducing the level to below 199.

The actual age of the arteries is measured by using the BPro, a device used to analyze flexibility or compliance of large arteries with wave form analysis, This is the same principal as testing the catalytic converter to see if it is normal or undergoing a cardiac catheterization. See the Wall Street June 1, 2010.
