No, I think that is what's referred to as the calcium score. The medical literature is intentionally unclear as to whether that refers to internal calcification of blood vessels, or to the development of plaque on the endothlial lining of blood vessels.@yerrag Have you ever performed tests to evaluate arterial calcification and fibrosis?
Not really wanting to waste my time on researching ambiguous medical literature that only serve to mislead us, I just figure that refers to the latter.
There is also a test called carotid artery ultrasound, which probably shows plaque both on the media and intima layers of the carotid artery, without distinguishing between the two.
I think these tests have more to do with plaque than internal calcification of blood vessel cells, which has more to do with blood vessels becoming stiff and unable to dilate or constrict as freely, related to acid base balance having to do with poor sugar metabolism, exacerbated by low CoQ10 due to the use of stations.
Some cases of high blood pressure are due to internal calcification, causing blood vessels to not dilate freely, so you can see these people with high blood pressure having no bulging arteries or veins.
High blood pressure caused by plaque formarion have more to do with the effects of oxidative stress, from oxidized LDL and from the immune system producing ROS in the process of killing pathogenic microbes.
I haven't taken any of these tests, because I know I have little internal calcification, and that plaque formation in blood vessels is a natural part of the body's protective system to keep pathogens and oxidized away from the blood, modulating and managing the inflammatory response of the immune system.
Whatever my calcium score is, it is already a done deal. If I try to lyse the plaque, I only move the timeline of reckoning with the stored toxins and microbes, of which old people die of in sepsis in their old age.
I just try to keep more plaque from forming and those I already have I keep from disturbing so judgment day will come later than sooner.
