Talkin today about heart disease.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the developed world. And in most cases, it comes down to one thing: cholesterol—specifically, LDL.
You’ve probably heard about LDL and HDL. HDL is the “good” cholesterol, while LDL is the bad guy—the one that builds up on the inside of your arteries, forming plaque that eventually clogs the blood flow to your heart and brain.
Now, here’s something fascinating:
There are families in both Italy and Japan who are born without the ability to produce LDL at all. Genetically LDL-free. The result? No heart disease. None. They live long, healthy lives without the buildup that plagues most of the population.
Why? Because LDL, while helpful in times of starvation (it stores energy as fat), isn’t necessary in the modern developed world. We don’t need the fat reserves for survival anymore.
So how do we get rid of it?
Most people take statins, which slightly reduce LDL levels. But this is the Mad Scientist approach, so we’re not interested in halfway measures.
Here’s the radical method:
Take LDL proteins, mix them with a cold virus—or a harmless immune-activating agent—and create a vaccine. Inject it or inhale it. Your immune system recognizes the LDL as an invader and begins targeting it. Over time, your LDL levels drop from dangerously high numbers—like 300—all the way down to zero.
But here’s the crucial caveat:
If you already have plaque buildup in your arteries, your immune system will respond to the vaccine by attacking the LDL that’s already stuck inside your arteries. White blood cells will swarm the plaque, trying to clean it out. But in doing so, they can clog your arteries even more, triggering a heart attack.
That’s why this method is ideal for young people—those who haven’t yet developed arterial plaque. If you're under 30, for example, and have high LDL due to genetics, this kind of immunization could potentially prevent heart disease for the rest of your life. One shot every five years might be all you need.
But if you're older, there’s still a way—just a more careful one.
Take the vaccine, but also take immunosuppressants. These drugs will slow down the immune response, preventing your arteries from getting overwhelmed. Yes, you'll be more vulnerable to infections temporarily. But over time, your immune system will gradually clean out the plaque.
Once the arteries are clear? Drop the suppressants. Let your immune system go full force. Now your body targets LDL before it ever becomes a threat.
Heart disease, cured—not with surgery, not with lifelong medication, but with an immune reprogramming.
It’s bold. It’s risky. And it’s the kind of thing only a mad scientist would suggest.
But boldness is how we push boundaries.
This has been the Mad Scientist Supreme, signing off.
