Niacinamide will have virtually no effect on your cholesterol levels. Only

pure Niacin, in one or other of its forms, can do the job for you. Plain

Niacin produces a distinct, and for many people, unpleasant flushing

reaction that can become quite alarming. I'm one of those that has a very

powerful reaction to pure Niacin. When Niacin is bonded to Inositol, it

becomes, and is marketed as, Inositol Hexaniacinate (or I. Hexanicotinate),

which removes the flushing. This form of pure Niacin, is, if anything

slightly more effective than Niacin alone. I take 2000mg daily in two

divided doses.

Lowering Cholesterol Herb Formula.

There are a number of herbs used for naturally lowering cholesterol. Medically,

several herbs have been shown to be as effective as mainstream drugs for

lowering cholesterol and far safer. It is also a fact that no drug for lowering

cholesterol has decreased the mortality rate, as they can create a deficiency in

some of the hearts most important nutrients.

 

Natural cholesterol lowering herbs also help change the ration of of good

cholesterol (HDL) to bad cholesterol (LDL). Herbs can also work to correct a

disorder in the liver and fat metabolism. Many of the cholesterol lowering herbs

also have antioxidant properties protecting blood vessel walls and overall

health.

 

Guggul : Guggul has been know to lower triglycerides up to 30% and reduce LDL

by 35% while increasing HDL by 20% in a relatively short period of time of a few

months. Guggul also prevents arteriosclerosis. In some studies guggul has

performed as well as many drugs used for lowering cholesterol.

 

Fenugreek : Fenugreek inhibits cholesterol absorption and decreases its

manufacture by the liver. Fenugreek also helps to lower elevated triglycerides

and control blood sugar levels in pre-diabetes stage. May help reduce

cholesterol.

 

Garlic : Garlic has been shown to lower LDL levels while helping to increase

good HDL levels. In some cases studies done, garlic will reduce cholesterol and

triglycerides by up to 15%. Garlic prevents oxidation of LDL and limits the

build of arterial plaque. Garlic is known for lowering high blood pressure and

reducing cholesterol.

 

Green Tea : Green Tea is known to reduce cholesterol and increase the excretion

of lipids. Green Tea also inhibits the enzyme that promotes blood vessel

constriction. Antioxidant effects help prevent aerial damage & regulate blood

sugar levels.

Lowering Cholesterol recommendations include;

Except for people that have an abnormal liver condition, diet is the leading way

to lowering high cholesterol. You may think your diet is healthy but the chances

are you consume more saturated fats than you realize. You may find you have

small amounts of saturated fats in almost ever meal and don't even realize it.

 

Step1: Take the Herbal all natural cholesterol supplement with herbal

ingredients that are know to help HDL and LDL levels while supporting liver

function. May be taken in conjunction with Liver & Gall formula.

 

Step2: Reduce your intake of saturated fats. Reduce all processed foods,

hydrogenated oils, butter, margarine, fried foods, meat and animal fats.

Increase your intake of steamed and raw foods, whole grains, legumes, fresh

vegetables, fruit and salads.

 

Step 3: Very important Increase your intake of Omega 3, 6 & 9 unsaturated fats

from cold pressed oils such as virgin olive oil, evening primrose oil and virgin

flax seed oils. Taken directly and used as a replacement for salads and foods.

These oils help increase your level of HDLs (good cholesterol).

Lowering Cholesterol

 

 

Hello

I would like some recommendations on reducing my total

cholesterol. Two months ago it was 276. I started

taking Niacinamide 500mg twice daily. Last week I was

down to 217 but the doctor still wanted to recommend

Pravachol. I absolutely REFUSE to taking any antilipid

medications because of their side effects. So if you

have any other recommendations on what foods to eat

and what foods to avoid, I would appreciate it. I am

not against taking more herbal supplements, but since

I am trying to reduce the medications I take I would

rather find out about FOODS to eat/avoid. Thanks!

Hi Nora,

Organic Lecithin is extremely difficult to find. It is not common

knowledge, however the majority of lecithin supplements currently on

the market are derived from SOY. Soy grown in the United States (

and from other countries as well) is genetically altered (GE) Soy.

In Adelle Davis generation, the lecithin she obtained may have been

more effective and pure, however I really doubt that lecithin sold

today has the same benefits.

The irony is, many of the same people who are crusading against soy

in other forms advocate taking vast amounts of lecithin to improve

cholesterol levels, when actually its the supplemental soy that's

been found to be most damaging (soy protein isolates, etc).

Cheryl,

 

you are being bamboozled about the importance of lowering cholesterol.

 

It's a great business and a scare tactic to say you must lower cholesterol.

Cholesterol lowering is great business, but it does very little for

health. The studies on statins show that cholesterol is indeed being

lowered, but the overall mortality of those with the now lowered

cholesterol is no different from those with the high cholesterol.

Dear Nora,

 

thank you for that news. I never have such trouble here. Maybe my

pages are too full of revolutionary content to allow Americans to see

them??? ;-))

 

Anyway, let's try something: Search the title of the article on

Google, and then click on the Google link.

 

I also notice that the heading comes up first. Possibly, if you have

a slow connection you need to wait a minute to get the article to

come up.

 

Try again, and please do let me know if the problem persists.

Forget the Niacin. Take 3-4 500 mg. of Red Yeast Rice Extract a day. No

You're right JoAnn.

In fact, organic Lecithin, as far as I've been able to determine, is

impossible to find. I have found " non GMO " Lecithin, which I obtain from

iHerb. I certainly would like to know, why we can't get organic Lecithin.

We have every other sort of Soy-derived product in organic form, why not

Lecithin?

I agree. My cholestral level was 310. After 6 weeks of Niacin (500mg tid) it

was, and continues to be many years later about 167. I always used the

" release assured " type Niacin, and learned to live with the flush. After a

while the flush became an appreciated sign that the niacin was doing its

work on arteries, cholestral, circulation to extremities, and other

beneficial things.

And , yes, the inclusion of oatmeal in a daily part of my diet- and a

grapefruit once a day.

It does work as part of a wonderful lifestyle change.

 

I had read an article recently in a medical journal that research indicates

niacin intake is inversely related to development of alzhiemers type

dementia- that this may be a preventive measure against developing certain

dementias.

Lori,

 

How much fish do you eat? Eat fish like salmon which has a high content of

Omega-3 fish oil which is a good fatty acid that helps lower cholesterol. It's

high a good fat vs bad fat plus it has a lot of protein.

 

Also, try out the low-fat dairy products. It sometimes takes awhile getting

used to but if the goal is to get healthly then you'll find a way. Substituting

yogurt for sour cream is really good and skip the butter!

 

Good Luck,

 

Marty

dear ms.lori

im not very good when it comes to lowering cholesterol but what i do

know is that a change of diet would help i dont mean entirely but just

eat more salads and green leafs as in things with fibers spinach

lettuce these kind of things and use alot of oils(plant oils)

especially in your food specially as salad dressings and such because

plant oil will prevent your body from absorbing choolesterol you eat

in your meal and basicly it will be just the cholesterol that the body

makes wich ofcourse is less than when you eat foods containing

cholesterol . have a lovely day i hope this helps (p.s fish is good

to )

If they measured total cholesterol instead of separately measuring your HDL

and LDL (in a total lipid profile), your " good cholesterol " (HDL) could be

elevated, making the total number higher. They commonly do a total

cholesterol test during free screenings because most people are unhealthy so

if their total number is higher it is often due to LDL.

 

Also, since the creation of cholesterol lowering drugs, the medical

establishment has continuously lowered the number that is considered normal,

so they can prescribe more drugs. So what was normal 10 years ago is

elevated now. Make sure that they did a " total lipid profile " and if you

take a " slightly elevated " number with a bit of caution.

 

Warm regards,

 

Mary

What a great message! We finally have a doctor here,

who tells me that my good cholesterol is so high that

I I don't have to worry about the high number of the

total...

The doctor I had before him, wanted to give me

medication, which I did not want, much to his

chagrin...

If it is only slightly elevated, it should be able to be lowered

through diet and exercise. Also, eat lots of fiber should help. I

would try any natural prcesses first as there are long term effects

of the drugs. You might also consider message therapy as one of the

problems with high cholesterol is that the body does not realease

toxins but holds them internally. Message helps release toxins from

the body. Also drink lots of water to help eliminate toxins.

Hey Terri and everyone,

 

I forgot to mention that intaking flaxseed oil is a GREAT way to lower cholesterol, naturally. Omega 3's will lower cholesterol. :-)

 

So for anyone who is concerned that they need to lower their cholesterol, try adding flaxseed oil to your diets. Blending it with cottage cheese (2 to 1, 2 parts cottage cheese to 1 part flaxseed oil) makes it possible to eat several tablespoons a day. Just use a sticker mixer, hand mixer, or blender, with a little bit of some sort of milk to make thin it out a bit and make it easier to blend. I put a little stevia or honey in mine to sweeten it up a bit.

 

I also use flaxseed oil on my salads, along with raw, organic apple cider vinegar. I just throw it on my salad and toss it all together. With some salt, pepper, and a bit of crushed garlic-yum! :-)CyndiIt's Tax Time! Get tips, forms and advice on AOL Money Finance.
