I am so grateful for this site, it has helped me soooo much, thank you all for your posts.
HELP! My Doctor just called and told me my Cholesterol Levels are:
HDL = 40, which is good I understand
LDL = don't know
Triglicerides = 539, should be around 150
Total = 287, should be under 200 he said.
I am 45 years old. I do smoke, but I am going to quit Tomorrow even if it kills me LOL.
I take multiple vitamins, minerals, Amino Acids, Omega 3 fish oil capsules, Glucosamine/Chondroitin for my painful joints.
My Dr. wants to put me on medication for my cholesterol levels, WHAT! I got off all but one medication that I was on for 15 years, it was extemely difficult getting off them. It took a long time - Anti-depressant, Topamax, allergy meds, having a hell of a time getting off the Benzodiazepine, I don't know if I can!!! Hopfully starting on the magnolia bark will help me get off it.
I now take 300 mg. 5-HTP a day, Magnesium Citrate, GABA complex, soon magnolia bark, for stress and Depression and mood stabalization, I know I have a chemical imbalance in my brain.
My Dr. says that my B-12 is too high, should I stop taking my stress B formula and just stick with my multi's?
I don't excersise nearly enough though, but I will exercise 30 minutes every day or other day.
I have drink a lot of purified non-flourinated water, like a gallon a day, because I'm thirsty.
I stay away from red meat almost totally, I haven't eaten pork at all in 30 years. I eat chicken occasionally. I do eat dairy, cheese, 1% milk, eggs.
I was Oil pulling, but stopped because of the rashes that developed on my face, should I continue with this?
I usually drink 2 Tablespoons of Braggs vinegar in the AM, but not regularly, would it help to increase it?
I am ordering unrefined Sea Salt today, will this help?
I did the Hulda Liver cleanse about 2 months ago, very successfullly! Should I do more? Maybe 500 stones came out with a lot of bile mush. After the cleanse my kidneys hurt (didn't do the kidney cleanse first, I should have) I then drank ACV 2 X a day, drank tons of pure cranberry juice, ate dehydrated cranberries, and took Celery seed tea, tons of water, all for a few days and kidneys feel great!
What else can I do to get these numbers down so that I can have peace of mind. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I don't how to tell my Dr. that I don't want to get on the Cholesterol drugs, I know he will push them on me and scare me if I don't.
Thank you so much :)

I would head to another physician (possibly, a Natural Doctor), get another cholesterol check done (even if my Insurance didn't cover) at a different lab, and either have the numbers confirmed or debunked. Labs have been known to make serious errors, and often.
I'm a smoker, as well - I have not quit, yet. I don't know if I ever will be able to, but I take tons of supplements with specific attention paid to Rheumatoid Arthritis . I also refuse to take the drugs that modern medical doctors would have me take for the roooomatizz - the cures are often worse than the diseases.

Hi Soulfulsurvivor,
Yes you are right about labs making mistakes, last year I had my blood drawn to rule out diabetes and the result came back "diabetic" and I asked my dr. how diabetic am I, he said "100%". I freaked out, bought the blood monitor and strips, etc., then took another blood test a month later and it was completely NORMAL. I don't have diabetes! Then I asked the Dr. when I should take another glucose test and he said, "you don't" Why did my dr. tell me I had diabetes 100% when I didn't?
With this test I was just shocked to hear that my triglicerides came out 539, I thought "am I one pizza away from a heart atack?", if cholesterol is really the culprit for them. I have always eaten relative healthy and kept my weight down, so I figured IF my diet was even 1/4 of what most americans eat daily, I would BE DEAD!
Anyway, you are right, I have another appointment next week and I'm going to request another blood test. With the first one I told my Dr. I hadn't fasted for 12 hour that are required. I ate a snack a around 12:00-1:00 am, that takes an hour or two to digest, and I drank some juice a hour before the test, my dr. just said, "that's ok", so maybe because of that I have false readings, my blood was taken after my last snack was 12-1:00 am, I will post with my new results.
I have already started altering my diet and added more exercise. I plan on quitting smoking as soon as I am out, I hope I don't fail.
I think I'll wait until I do another Liver Flush (when my numbers get back to relative normalcy, or the correct number is revealed) because of all the contraversy about the stones and bile reabsorbing on their way down adding more cholesterol, therefore, increasing your numbers after a flush, if I'm not mistaken.
Thanks again for your suggestion :)

This is a reply to # 885,655My pleasure, 2Health! I have grown a very healthy, deep, and abiding DISTRUST of medical doctors over the past few years. It seems that I had been "diagnosed" with everything under the sun so that I would have to keep coming back for those follow-up and maintenance appointments - they cost insurance about $125 a visit, these days. Specialists are often $400+. The tests that are performed would cost us some $200-950 out of pocket. NOT to mention the flipping drugs that they want us to take so that we HAVE to make additional appointments because of the side effects of the prescribed medications that we're taking at the behest of our medical professionals.
Oh, my...I could go on a raving rant about the things that medical doctors put us all through for the sakes of their BMW's and trips to Cancun! I truly believe that the less time I spend with a medical physician, the more time I have to devote to taking control (and, responsibility) for my own health.
God bless and best wishes to you!- Re: HELP! What do I do, BAD Choleste... 2Health

Soulfulsurvivor,
I too distrust medical doctors and completely agree with you. Doctors do just want to line their pockets by unnessary follow-ups, like I have tomorrow, and unnessary drugs that do more harm than good.
Last year when my doctor told me that my glucose levels determined me to be diabetic (100%) I got really scared, went out and spent $100.00 on a blood monitor and test strips (that I never needed) and worried my family, only to have the second test come back completely normal, and still is...sheeeeesh!
I'm sorry that you too have had bad experiences with Doctors.
Another war story with Doctors: Almost 20 years ago I was feeling chronically fatiqued, and the doctor at the time actually told me word for word "I'm sure the blood test will indicate you are HIV positive, I just want to prepare you" !!!! WHAT! The test came back and of course I was NOT, I never had been at risk of contracting HIV, safe sex, no blood transfusion, no needle use, etc. and I told him this during my exam when he was hinting about HIV, but he said it anyway!!!
The same Doctor told me that the "zit" on my face that wouldn't heal and bled for months was NOTHING, I believed him and it just got bigger and worse for more than a year, I then went to a determatologist and it was indeed Basil Cell skin cancer. Since I waited so long (due to this Dr. assuring me it was nothing) now I have a BIG pea size scar right on my face. Had it been treated earlier and less large and deep, I would have no scar.
After my next Cholesterol test, I will only go to a doctor if I break a bone, or it is something very life threatening.
God gave us all that we need to keep ourselves healthy and or "cure" ourselves through healthy foods, herbs, a positive outlook, lots of purified water and exercise, that's all we need!

This is a reply to # 888,828WOW, thank you for the info Savagegrace!
The ebook is very informative. I definately need to add more vitamin C.
I have already started eating Cholesterol Lowering foods and exercising more, as a good side effect, I have lost a few lbs. :)
After I add the additional Vit. C. and B3, Lycerne, Proline, per the ebook, my next Blood test I'm sure will be much lower. Afer a new test in a few months I will report my new levels.
Thanks again for the priceless information you have shared :)

Absolutely, I have just started to OP again, I just hope I don't get that rash on my face again, that is why I stopped so it could heal.
And I'm now not afraid to use "good oils" when preparing meals, I know now it's good for you.
Thanks,

MoreThis is a reply to # 889,074Remember, if you have fat build up in the arteries, it accumulated over years.
So don't expect a low reading in just a few months.
Just don't be concerned at a sharp increase.
That means it's working!
Dr Lam says it may take a year or more, I can't remember what the time frame for Dr Rath was.
(www.drlam.com another Doctor who knows whereof he speaks)
To your great health.

This is a reply to # 888,828Interesting link Savagegrace.
"That high TC levels cause heart disease and is the leading cause of heart problems.
Neither of which is true."
Problem is that the insurance companies believe that high LDL levels are bad; no matter the myth. I am recently retiring and had to find some health insurance other than my company supported one. I have had elevated cholesterol for a number of years. Doesn't bother me. Probably stress related anyway. Retirement will fix that. Anyway, the level (230) was barely ok for the insurance company; and I did get the insurance. My doctor wants me to aggressively fix the problem. I don't want to outlive my retirement.- stop!

230 is barely ok?!
What a racket for those who buy their own insurance.
I feel for ya!
Let me be clear however.
You may be easily able to down the LDL and TC.
A lot of people have higher than normal LDL due to LACK of good oil intake.
For most it is NOT a one to one sort of thing.
Meaning the body tries to overcompensate by producing much larger than needed amounts of LDL.
So if you use real extra virgin OO (Olive-Oil) for cooking etc, take a good quality cod or fish oil (I love Carlson's) the body STOPS producing the extra LDL.
What you should see (if artery repair isn't needed first) HDL increase with a larger drop of LDL.
By the way, I would use
http://www.lef.org
for the TC blood tests until I knew it was ok.
Keep putting off the Doctor until you KNOW it's under control.
Otherwise the insurance company may kick you off!

This is a reply to # 884,949Mine fluctuates between 265 and 295 since i was in my 20's.
My naturopath suggested that i take garlic supplements and guggul.
I've also heard that sometimes going on low carb diet helps. Sounds strange, but a friend of mine did lower hers by cutting on carbs!

This is a reply to # 884,949High Triglycerides are not included in the overall cholesterol count. 287 is a little high, according to medical standards, but that is not your main problem. Your BIG problem is the Triglyceride level. That level is dangerous. It is usually caused by high sugar/starch intake and lack of exercise. Go on a low carb, high protein with many green vegetables diet and move around a little more. L-Carnitine is a supplement that sometimes helps. A cholesterol drug is for the cholesterol, LDL, HDL levels, and in itself has lots of side effects.
Keep a check on your Sugar levels and blood pressure. Many times high triglycerides, high blood Sugar and high blood pressure are related and are known as Syndrome X or metabolic syndrome. My triglycerides were 800 when I started on the above diet, and now are just a little over 200 - still high, but getting there.Advertisement

This is a reply to # 911,797Hello all,
I'm sitting here thinking I'm going to have a heart attack any minute.
Dr.s office called and said my levels are even higher, I don't know the numbers yet, but my last results 8 months ago were:
Triglicerides - 571
HDL - 39
LDL - Trigs to high to get this
Total - 293
One year ago my numbers were:
Triglicerides - 539
HDL - 40
LDL - Trigs to high to get this
Total - 287
I started power walking/jogging just about every other day, Started on 1500 mg Vit C, Garlic and Parsley Supplements, Krill Oil, eating raw almonds every day, and eating healthier (I could do better) 2 more Liver Flushes since last test, Oil Pulling, rebounding, skin brushing, castor oil packs (only 2 so far).
It just rises with each test I take, I guess I have to do more like no dairy, I drink alot of 1% milk and cheese. I don't eat alot of carbs, but I guess I need to totally eliminate them. I don't eat refined Sugar ever. I don't think I can be on a totally restricted diet, like just fruits and veggies, I just don't have the decipline.
I plan on adding Polycosanol and/or red rice yeast, I'm so confused about these, so much conflicting infomation out there about them! I can't decide which one to try.
Considering doing Niacin Flush...I don't know what to do.
Dr. wants me to take a pharma fish oil (prescriiption strength) but it is SOOOO expensive, can't do it.
I also completely withdrew from a Benzodiazepine that I was in tolerance for 10 years, totally off this drug now for 4 months, the worse 7 months of my life and still going through horrible w/d symptoms.
Tests also came back that I am diabetic after all and have to take Metformin. I guess I'm just falling apart.
