Guest guest Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 I went raw on Septembe 24. About a month later I had blood word done. My cholesterol had gone down. Now Two months later than the first test, I've had another. I just compared notes. Since a month into raw foods until now, my cholesterl has shot up from 200 to 239. Furthermore my triglerides have shot up from one hundred something, to over three hundred. Can anyone explain this.?? I thought I was getting so healthy! What a shock.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 The answer is simple Lynn. Stop asking why and just do what the body and you know are best. It takes a year for the body to adjust so keep at it and in a year go back and test your blood if that makes you happy! We often question way too much when it comes to our wellness. God told us and made it extremely simple. Its all about building and cleansing which equates to living foods (building) and fasting (cleansing) Steven lane lynn [lanie] Friday, January 14, 2005 1:16 AM rawfood [Raw Food] raw food blood test results I went raw on Septembe 24.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Incorrect bloodwork data? It's been known to happen... I've been raw a year and have had simliar positive, but consistant results with my bloodwork. Jesse Steven <rawfasting wrote: The answer is simple Lynn.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 I don't know this is best. I believe this is best. That's different. If it makes my triglycerides shoot through the roof, maybe it's not the best after all. Wish I knew....

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Thanks Jesse. I was actually wondering if the blood work was flawed. I may even have it redone.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Hi Lane, I have read that high fruit and low fat consumption can sometimes lead to high cholesterol and atherosclerosis. I'm not sure why this happens. How much fruit are you eating? Are you including avocados, nuts, flax seeds, flax oil, etc.? You can read about a recent study here. http://tinyurl.com/69r8n Mark - lane lynn rawfood Thursday, January 13, 2005 10:15 PM [Raw Food] raw food blood test results I went raw on Septembe 24.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Lane, Here is some info from Dr. McDougall which you may find interesting. It's an excerpt from a longer article at: http://www.nealhendrickson.com/mcdougall/030100putamingelevatedtriglycerides.htm " One special note for those of you who are trying to lower your triglycerides; fruit raises triglycerides in sensitive people and needs to be severely limited - at least for several weeks - in people trying to lower triglycerides.7 Fruit (natural, dried, and as juice) is made of simple sugars and the primary sugar is fructose " Mark - lane lynn rawfood Thursday, January 13, 2005 10:15 PM [Raw Food] raw food blood test results I went raw on Septembe 24.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 i just saw a hemotologist for a different blood anomaly, but one that I had tracked in lab results since 2000. the hematologist, one of the best in california said that I was a victim of bad specimen collecting. he tested me a month ago and it was normal. he tested me yesterday and it was normal. something to note is that his lab is RIGHT THERE. the testtube does not need to travel or be chilled, etc before testing. the blood does not have time to coagulate in one end of the tube or another. my suggestion is to find an MD that you trust (hahahaha...), but really, and have them refer you to a hemotologist or even an oncologist with an onsite lab. then u will be closer to true test result. hth, /m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
