Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I have been working with my own choleesterol for a very long time. It is not always the level but the quality - high LDLs are not good no matter what any article says to the contrary. Besides diet, taking Omega-3 and Red Rice Yeast (plus many other supplements), my cholesterol can be 200 or 225. When it is 200, my HDLs are about 79 and, when it is 225, the HDLs are almost 100. This is excellent and no concern. In the past, many people on this list have given excellent suggestions for lowering cholesterol, which I have successfully followed. I do not seem to get it below 200 but this is not a concern with the HDLs so high. So, it is not the total but the HDLs and your Triglycerides (should be low). Do not allow the doctor to just push cholesterol drugs....check your cholesterol numbers. I hope this helps. Also, so a cholesterol search for past posts on this topic. There is a wealth of invaluable information, links and personal experiences on this forum. ~ A grateful member, Lynn Koiner - RareJewel, No need to lower your cholesterol.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Two books I suggest as well are " The Cholesterol Myth " by Dr. Ufe Ravinskov a brilliant retired nephrologist from Scandinavia and " Overdosed America " by Dr. John Abramson a professor of medicine at Harvard. I had the pleasure of being on a medical panel at Boulderfest 2005 with both of them and they have spent a lot of time dispelling the nonsense about cholesterol. It was a pure money grabbing ploy by the pharmaceutical industry and now in small part by the alternative industry who touts supplements to lower cholesterol knowing that this is not the problem. Inflammation is the cause of the damage that leads to cardiovascular disease. Much of it is due to environmental toxicity, stress and infection.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Just in case someone know, I have looked for a scale on the net, about converting the Americans cholesterol numbers in to Europeans, but so far not found any. Do you know any.....
