High cholesterol

[Darnell21]

High cholesterol is a problem of a lot of people but we can deal with it i mean there is nothing really hard in that.

Being mentally well is the first thing secondly we need to make ourselves physically active those activities can help us a lot in devolving ourselves.Diet does matter a lot.

I just want to get an idea of what some random people think about high cholesterol, statins, natural remedies etc.

 

What are you trying and what are your results?

 

If you are not doing anything to treat it, how's that working for you so far?

 

 

Hi El.......

 

I have been on a statin for 3 years now and it seems to be working. My high cholesterol is hereditary. I also am on BP meds also due to hereditary. I am thin, no obesity problems and eat very healthy and exercise but still have high cholesterol Red Wine is also good for the good ldl.....Now that part I can do!!!

Back on the RRY and niacin and the cholesterol has come down to 238 total but the triglycerides are still way too high.

Just curious.. Is a cholesterol level of 130 actually low? My 70 year old father refuses to eat healthy even after multiple heart surgeries.. Drinks soda, eats coffee cakes and candy.. And apparently his cholesterol is still only 130? Chalk it up to good genes, or what?

*thows hands in the air in confusion*

 

I don't know. That's what's driving me nuts.

 

I read some articles that make high cholesterol sound like heart attack territory, and other articles that say people with high cholesterol live longer then people with low cholesterol.

 

So I'm just trying to see if we can keep the overall number somewhat in the middle and keep the "bad" ones in check.

No idea. According to the doctor, my father's got nothing wrong, and he seems as lively as ever. Figures that it's different from person to person. I personally find it funny.

To simplify, there are two types of cholesterol.

 

Bad: LDL coats your arteries and causes blockage.

Good: HDL carries away the bad cholesterol.

 

This is why the ratio between these two is so important where a higher level of HDLs means the less likelihood of heart attacks and strokes and a higher level of LDLs is bad since there's insufficient number of HDLs to carry away the bad stuff so you're more likely to have a heart attack or stroke since your arteries become clogged.

 

So, the name of the game is to increase HDLs or lower LDLs.

Not true at all. Heart attacks isn't caused by cholesterol. What causes heart attacks? Too much meat consumption. Taking cholesterol lowering medication can cause liver damaged due to the acidic blood that will tear the organs.

 

Back in 1967 Dr. Georgio Baroldi proved that heart attacks occur in areas of the heart muscle different from the area of the clot in the coronary artery. The body builds natural bypasses around clots. What Dr. Wendt showed was that the excess of consumed animal protein stored in the interstitial of the heart muscle is the actual cause of the heart attack. This excess protein storage results in a locally elevated acid level which kills the cells of the heart muscle from the inside. This dying of cells is what is called a heart attack.

 

The Protein Connection

 

 

 

It is surprising that none of the frequently quoted and media-popularized doctors has reflected on the fact that cholesterol levels are measured from blood taken from the veins, yet nowhere in medical literature is there a single case of cholesterol having caused obstruction of the veins. Venous blood moves far slower than arterial blood and thus would be more inclined to have cholesterol deposits if the assumption of "bad cholesterol" were accurate. This mistake by us in the medical community, and its capitalization by the pharmaceutical industry, has caused an ongoing fraud against society.

n truth, the so-called "bad" cholesterol is actually far more beneficial than is appreciated. The reason for its rise in the body is because of complications caused by chronic unintentional dehydration and insufficient urine production. Dehydration produces concentrated, acidic blood that becomes even more dehydrated during its passage through the lungs before reaching the heart - because of evaporation of water in the lungs during breathing. The membranes of the blood vessels of the heart and main arteries going up to the brain become vulnerable to the shearing pressure produced by the thicker, acidic blood. This shearing force of toxic blood causes abrasions and minute tears in the lining of the arteries that can peel off and cause embolisms of the brain, kidneys and other organs. To prevent the damaged blood vessel walls from peeling, low-density (so-called "bad") cholesterol coats and covers up the abrasions and protects the underlying tissue like a waterproof bandage until the tissue heals.

Tell that to the Maasai people who live solely off animal products...

Nowhere have I suggested any usage of pharmas. No idea why this is even relevant to my post.

This doesn't negate my post. I leave it to you to figure out why.
