Guest guest Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 A friend called tonite and was telling about her hubby's HDL. The doc's office called Friday with the result of 28. I asked if she meant 280 or some thing. Nope. And that was the only thing they told her. Looks like she needs some help pumping up that figure. Any ideas??? Thanks everybody.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 All manner of things are said to help increase HDL, including exercise, weight loss, the use of certain oils, including high omega 3 oils, and grape-seed oil. Niacin, I believe, can also help control cholesterol, and increase HDL. I use the " flush free " form of Niacin; it's referred to as Inositol Hexanicotinate (or Hexaniacinate). I'm currently taking 4 grams, in two 2 gram doses. I have heart disease, and when first diagnosed, my HDL was 20! A few years later, it was 30, and most recently, it tested at 40. So far, something appears to be slowly raising my HDL, and it must be my diet, and the application of the items I mentioned above, plus some others. It sure as hell isn't happening by itself, since heart disease is believed to be " progressive " in the thinking of current cardiology. They say it can't get better, but can only be delayed with drugs and surgery. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
