Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 hi michelle. I'm in the same boat. Father had bypass surgery at 55, andi'm 40 and choletsral was high, 7.1 or something. I too don't want to take meds, because they are hard on the body, and I already take blood pressure meds. anyway I got my cholesterol down to 5.5, which is on the way. I ate oatmeal every morning for about 3 months, and I also take blueberry leaf extract. ( i heard blueberry can lower cholesteral, from someone.) I also take an oral chelation product called OC max, and a honey based oral chelation compound. I got those from trish. not too expensive. I have to show continued improvement over the next 4 months, or they'll threaten me with lipitor again, and it caused me muscle pain, and I've heard rumours of nerve damage as well. Anyway, Blueberry is one that you might not have heard of. best glen > " michelle " <michellegluth >herbal remedies >herbal remedies >Herbal Remedies - Hereditary High Cholesterol >Tue, 23 May 2006 20:37:05 -0000 > >Hi everyone, > >I have a great diet but high cholesterol runs in my family.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Hi Michelle! Please go to: http://www.health-fx.net/eBook.pdf Hidden Truth About Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs! I also was diagnosed with high cholesterol and high triglycerides and MD wanted to put me on 'station's. I refused and have controlled my numbers with diet and Doc's Body Balance (old Panther Piss) formula.

Dad had a stroke at 45. Just returned from the Dr. and he wants me to use a med to lower my cholesterol. Prescribed Mevacore (Lovastatin) which I sure don't want to use.I know what to do diet, exercise and supplement wise but don't want to load up on tons of stuff... niacin, plant sterols, garlic, fiber, red yeast rice, etc. So, I'm hoping to be pointed in a direction based on personal experience.I've been a vegetarian and vegan in the past and am thinking of going all raw. I'm 50 and have always been exceptionally healthy, but this year has been tough with Valley Fever. Feeling like my body is catching up with my years and I don't like it!!!Thanks in advance for your suggestions,Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
