fed up with prescription drugs.

I experienced a very bad reaction to statin cholesteral drugs,,,they affected my

muscles, caused weakness and did havac to my nervous system in the name of

damaged nerves in my feet, a tumor on a nerve in my foot, some hearing loss and

was responsible for escallating the growth of a cataract. Your group caught my

attention and hopefully I will be able to find ways to lower my cholesteral and

triglycerides naturally and to share with others....I look forward to

participating.....jac

Hi Jackie! This is one area where the disinformation specialists

abound and one has to differentiate between the wheat and the chaff.

This is rather hard for those of us who are committed to going the

alternative route. You will get a wealth of advice and information

regarding oils and fats. Most of it will be profit related ...

geared to whatever product the person in question is promoting at

the moment.

I am not promoting a product and the information that I'm sharing is

that which I've found to be effective in my own experience with

cholesterol and heart disease. With prayer and high quality

information which literally brought me back from a life of

debilitating illness which had disabled me to the point that I would

say I was confined to a chair or recliner 90% of the time.

Many well meaning people will tell you that there is no connection

between natural fats and cholesterol and then there are some who

will tell you that you cannot control cholesterol with diet and that

you will have to do it with statins and other cholesterol drugs and

some will even tell you that high cholesterol is good for you and

cannot be controlled because it is " genetic " .

 

I have studied cholesterol for years and know that none of the above

is true. There are two types of cholesterol and most of the fats

which are in the American diet just tend to promote the bad type of

cholesterol rather than the good cholesterol!

 

The object of this email is to tell you that you can " control " your

cholesterol with foods, but only if you work on elevating your good

cholesterol levels rather than focus on the bad cholesterol.

 

This can be done by diet and supplements although I prefer diet

because that is typically the " source " of the " bad " fats

which " must " be eliminated if you wish to correct the existing

problems!

 

I will say in advance that our American diet of processed foods is

the primary problem and the reason there are so many of these

problems.

 

If you research this more you will find that with the advent of

processed foods, which by the way started initially for military

personnel to keep a supply of food ready for combat in Korea…

cholesterol problems started to abound. This is documented in our

archives if you'd wish to verify it.

 

Even though one doesn't indulge in a fast food diet, the harmful

fats exist in many of the " better " restaurants as well and even in

home cooked foods depending on " fat " choices.

 

High fat gravy, even butter is problematic in building artery

plaques and contribute to thrombosis. One of the main reasons that

gravies pose such a problem to our arteries is they are usually made

with margarines and refined oils which contain `free radicals' and

without exception are all " bleached " , " deodorized " and refined at

exceedingly high temperatures!

 

Fats and oils no matter what the " source " , which are heated to high

temperatures for any period of time become " carcinogenic " and

harmful to our arteries and heart and have a definite link to fat

buildup (cholesterol plaque) and all the inflammatory diseases as

well. This also pertains to saturated fats!~

 

All of our fats have to be metabolized through our liver

in " special " places called Peyers Patches. This is a very small part

of our immune system however it usually causes us the most problems.

When we eat a vast array of " bad fats " the liver and immune system

are compromised and leads to something that is called fatty liver

syndrome.

 

When we substitute monosaturated fats in extra virgin olive oil (the

best form)

avocadoes, raw almonds and other monosaturated " fat sources, this

helps to build up our good cholesterol (HDL) which sweep the bad

cholesterol out of existence and in essence, literally eradicates it

from our bodies.

 

This is why we need to eliminate all the " bad fats " and there are

plenty of them on every hand. Our stores are literally filled with

them.

 

The only brand of oils that I would recommend is Spectrum Oils.

Although the FDA will not allow (!!) them

to say this on their product, all their oils are organically

produced, which is a real blessing in this day and age with canola

and other genetically engineered oils so prevalent in our society

and they even exist in " so called " organic processed foods.

 

I would advise changing over to organic if at all possible, however

we must be careful when selecting organic foods as well.

 

This is especially true of chips and other organic " processed "

foods. To this day if I advertently eat any organic chips fried or

baked in canola oils I experience multiple symptoms.

 

Even though it is widely promoted as a healthy fat I wouldn't

indulge in the mayos and other things made with it.

Spectrum has an organic mayo which may be better however most of the

mayos (even those found in health food stores) are processed with

hydrogenated oils and they do not have to label this due to a

technicality in processing. I learned this by hard experience and am

passing it on to you.

If you wish to lower your cholesterol levels do not eat any salad

dressings or mayo while attempting to lower your cholesterol. They

will slow down your progress considerably!! Actually the only

healthy salad dressing is a homemade extra virgin olive oil and

vinegar combination which you can make yourself.

Most organic dressings even contain undesirable ingredients, i.e.

canola and other gmo related oils.

 

We have a special cholesterol forum on our new message boards which

may help you.

 

There are so many aspects to consider that it is impossible to

mention them all here, although I have touched on the basics, it is

just the tip of the iceberg so to speak.

 

In closing I'd like to mention that I am acquainted with a young man

who lowered his cholesterol from 500 to 150 in just a matter of

weeks. He essentially just eliminated dairy and other saturated fats

and concentrated largely on eating cold water fish, extra virgin

olive oil and good fats. Three doctors told him it couldn't be done

without drugs! It seems as if they were wrong!!

Duh...

 

Best Regards, JoAnn
