Guest guest Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Hi Carol, Cholest-Rite is made from rice that has been fermented by the addition of red yeast. Dietary supplements of red yeast rice contain reductase inhibitors, which are compounds that inhibit an enzymatic reaction necessary to produce cholesterol in the body, especially in the liver. The liver is considered to be the main site of cholesterol production and is responsible for over 75% of our total cholesterol supply. Several scientific studies have confirmed the ability of red yeast rice to reduce total cholesterol by significant percentages. The action of this formula was enhanced with Artichoke Extract, Inositol Hexanlacinate, and Hawthorn Extract. Artichoke Extract works to lower cholesterol by stimulating the flow of bile. Bile represents a major pathway for the elimination of cholesterol from the body. Inositol Hexaniacinate is a form of niacin that has been used in Europe for over 30 years to manage cholesterol levels. Hawthorn Extract is a heart tonic that promotes cardiovascular health in addition to combating excess cholesterol. Cholest-Rite should not be viewed as a cure for any condition, but rather as a natural way to help maintain desirable cholesterol levels. DIRECTION: As dietary supplement adults take 1 to 2 capsules daily. SUPPLEMENTAL FACTS: Serving size 1 capsule - Serving size Per Container (60) Active ingredients: NIACIN 20 mg per serving (100% daily value) RED YEAST 600 mg per serving (Daily value not established) Other ingredients: Hawthorn Extract, Artichoke Extract, Gelatin, Magnesium Stearate > I think the MOST natural way to reduce cholesterol is > through diet - why do you need to take a pill? You are absolutely right that the most natural way to reduce cholesterol is through diet, however why do people take a pill to lose weight, increase their vitamin intake, boost metabolism, etc.? Because SOME people are EITHER too lazy to watch what they eat or they've got a health problem that requires more than just a diet. I hope this answers your question Carol.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 I have a friend who used the Solaray version of this and her cholesterol went from 265 to 180 in a short time. He MD was amazed and wants to follow her progress and suggest this for his other patients.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 OK, but one doesn't really need to treat total cholesterol, because although used as a medical marker, it is not connected to heart disease. What IS connected is OXIDIZED cholesterol. Look up the well-researched article, " The Oiling Of America " for the full story. So let's take our antioxidants and antioxidant-containing foods, knowing that we can still reduce LDL cholesterol using coconut oil, reduce VLDL with the bowel bacteria feed inulin, and increase HDL with various means including increasing our growth hormone levels, which can be done by taking our carb intake down to reasonable levels and using coconut oil. All these produce multiple benefits. By the way the Health Authorities in Canada went with the recommendations of the researchers rather than the drug authorities, and set the lowest danger threshold at the equivalent of 250 rather than the 200 the drug companies wanted. The result? 1/3 of the population isn't treatable. Duncan Crow > Cholest-Rite is made from rice that has been fermented > by the addition of red yeast.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 All this is well and good. However, there is no evidence that reducing the blood-cholesteron level does any good in reducing CHD. In fact, it has been shown that women over the age of 60 with a high cholesterol level have LESS CHD than others with low CHD. The lipid hypothesis upon which all this BS is based has been proven to be bogus. Heck, it was disproved BEFORE it was even formulated! A good read in this area is " Cholesterol and Heart Disease -- a Phony Issue " <http://www.westonaprice.org/know_your_fats/fats_phony.html>. For further reading, go to <http://www.westonaprice.org/know_your_fats/know_your_fats.html> BTW, a cholesterol reading of 265 is entirely normal! >I have a friend who used the Solaray version of this and her cholesterol went from 265 to 180 in a short time.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 The central issue, is not whether Cholesterol meds have harmful side effects, the question is, do high cholesterol, high fat (fat of all types) foods, cause heart disease, and will drastically reducing cholesterol (and all manner of fats) intake, halt, and in many instances, reverse heart disease? Many of us have heard of Dr. Dean Ornish's research and writings, where he claims to have evidence that a radically low-fat diet (including no more than 10% of total calories from all dietary fat intake) dramatically improves heart disease status, even, in many cases, reversing it.

For this one study that you cite, i can cite one hundred other studies performed by independent researchers who are not affiliated with " food " manufacturers nor pharmco interests, and whose studies use good methodologies. One of the biggest mistakes such people make is equating cholesterol and trans- Fatty acids. Another is that the cholesterol used in the studies is derived from dried foods such as milk. Such cholesterol is rancid, and anyone who doesn't know that rancid equals unhealthy should go back to first grade. In the " landmark study " that supposedly proved the lipid hypothesis, herbivorous rabbits -- fer hell sakes -- were fed rancid cholesterol -- often in quantities 10 times that consumed by humans. Of course animal tests are useless for the simple reason that animals are not human.
