WOODSON C. MERRELL, M.D. 44 EAST 67th STREET NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10065 Telephone: Far Date: November 23, 2010 Patient: Jeffrey Epstein (Email: & jeevacation(4mail.com) • Because of very high cholesterol and triglycerides, and abnormal coronary CT angiogram, it is very important for you to be maintained on a cholesterol regimen to keep: LDL below 80, triglycerides below 120, and HDL above 40; none of which is the case now • To begin with the above, start Niacin. The prescription sustained release SR form is more easily tolerated, but plain is OK if you can tolerate it. Begin with 500 mg twice a day. If well tolerated after one week, double the dose to 1,000 mg twice a day • Have your pharmacy call if you need sustained release form of the niacin • Recheck you blood work (cholesterol, triglycerides, CRP, and liver enzymes) one month after being on full dose, and call me to review • Consider seeing cardiolo .st, Dr. Rony Shimony 425 East 61st Street 4h1 Floor NY NY 10021 - - if you'd like to review your cardiovascular regimen in more detail. You are due for a stress test (stress-echocardiogram) which he can do during a consultation. If you do see him, call us to send a copy of your test results (which we did once before with a note) • Your folic acid enzyme test (MTHFR) was low. This means you do not utilize folic acid well. To counter this, begin MTHF form of folic acid; FolaPro by Metagenics is excellent, 1 three times a week. • Your vitamin D is low-normal (35); but do to the hyperparathyroidism, I would keep it at this level so as to not raise your calcium level (which is currently normal at 9.4) • Contact your parathyroid specialist at Yale to review present blood test • See attached pdf of your current lab results (only estradiol and testosterone are pending) All supplements are available at Willner Chemists 100 Park Avenue NYC, NY 10017 EFTA00727369
