EDTA & Red Yeast Rice Interaction

[Guest guest]

I have high cholesterole and was wondering if EDTA and Red Yeast Rice

can be taken together. Would one interfer with the other? I am also

taking a Multi, Gamma E Compound, Curcumin and C-Q10.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thank you, Barbara

Hi Barbara,

There is no indication that Red Rice yeast is useful for lowering

cholesterol at the moment. Anything on the market other than

Cholestin which has been banned by the FDA is non-effective!

 

As Dr. Weil states, the efficacy of the others (policosanol, from

beeswax) has not been proven. Some of the supplement companies are

marketing this under the same name, which in my opinion is very

fraudulent. Typical profits above lives scenario,

duh… Each to his own.

However it may very well prove to be a waste of money according to

Dr. Weil if you take this route. If I were you I would stick by some

more proven remedies such as Hawthorn berry, CO-Q10, high doses of

magnesium ( 1,200 mgs in divided doses), Potassium (99 mgs or more)

vitamin E (400 -800), C with flavonoids and betacarotene and cut way

back on those problematic calcium supplements for they have been

linked to harmful plaque!).

I lowered my cholesterol by purely natural means ( i.e. an all

organic mainly mediterranean diet ( with the exception of no dairy

at all) and with an abundance of more traditional supplements), and

using only expeller pressed imported extra virgin olive oil high

beneficial omega-9s in my diet. Expeller pressed EV olive oil forms

beneficial HDL which scrubs our arteries clean of LDL cholesterol

and keeps them clean daily. As my other articles state it carts

LDL's off to the liver where it is disposed of!

I firmly believe that the right diet is more important than

anything else. I also firmly believe it's the " types " of fats that

we put in our bodies that " cause " this high LDL cholesterol with

refined oils and hydrogenated transfats highest on the list of those

to avoid! Transfats are the very worst of the simple carbs, of

course and cause the most harm.

 

Certainly, no oil qualifies as a health food, and unfortunately it

is the abundance of omega-6s in refined processed oils and transfats

that forms arterial plaque and contributes to an excess of LDL

cholesterol in our bloodstream.

The toxic wastes that accumulate in our livers leading to fatty

liver is also linked to hydrogenated and ALL of those refined oils

that americans use. The toxic wastes, some of them, emanate from the

refining process of these oils themselves!

 

The only cooking oil that contains the essential fats necessary for

controlling LDL cholesterol is extra virgin olive oil. Using

processed oils depletes the HDL (good) cholesterol as well.

 

This makes them even more problematic and they are present in just

about everything except for the organic varieties! That is why those

who change over to organic do so much better over the course of time.

On another note, EDTA is helpful for some people. Others receive

no benefit at all. The kits from the health food stores vary in

their effectiveness and from I have heard they are only a temporary

solution. Diet is the key to long term artery health. There is no

other way! My artery health has been reversed over the past ten

years simply by avoiding processed refined devitalized foods and

following the guidelines I've given you.

God Bless you and Good Luck! JoAnn

 

P.S. Udo's oils are also beneficial as well however I didn't

discover them until much later. They are fabulous!
