Just got my six months labs back------all good in the hormone, thyroid

world---even my prothrombin time was normal. HIGH cholesterol very high. Tried

niacin per my integrative MD's suggestion and seriously had a near death

experience. Does anyone have a natural approach?? I'm not going for low, low

numbers, just something in the low 200's.

Hi Sara,

 

My cholesterol was high for 8 years or so and I couldn't figure out why.  I

thought I was eating healthy.  Breakfast smoothies, salads with homemade

dressing, stir frying veggies in olive oil, etc..  Didn't realize that 1 tbsp.

of EVOO has 14 grams of fat and 120 calories.  Add in the fat on labels of

other foods, and it totaled more than I suspected.  

 

In February when I first saw Dr. Fry, he put me on a lowfat diet, 15 mg. or

less/day.  At that time my total cholesterol was 245.  In April it was down

to 177 and is now 175.  I didn't realize how much fat I was consuming until I

had to start label reading and counting.

Did this affect your weight at all when you started eating low fat? This is

helpful for me too since my cholesterol is at 240 and not budging to come

down and I don't want those meds.

Sara,

High cholesterol can sometimes be from low thyroid or if one is on thyroid meds,

not enough medication. Deb

A friend was put on red yeast rice by his son to lower his cholesterol,

which worked. I have my husband on it. We have yet to do blood tests as

we have no medical insurance but he has had no reactions to this. We

wanted to stay away from statin drugs if possible. Try googling this and

reading up on it.

I tried that also and did get mine checked regularly and it never helped get

mine under control. Also tried grapefruit seed extract, policosanol, niacin

and can't remember what else, none of the helped bring mine down.

You're not avoiding statins by taking red yeast rice, and you may be

exposing yourself to a nephrotoxic mycotoxin.

Hi Sara

I tried Ayurvedic medicine to bring cholesterol down naturally.

There are plant sisterols, red rice, curry leaf crushed in porridge in the morns

and during lunch and dinner.

Some articles in pubmed can be found on all the above, as for avocado juice and

cabbage juice. Packed with minerals as well as sulphur!!

There is much out there to bring cholesterol down. Do you suffer from thryoid

dysfunction?

I found this information that might help.

http://www.healthy-heart-guide.com/soy-and-cholesterol.html

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cholesterol-lowering-supplements/CL00013

http://articles.cnn.com/2009-08-20/health/cholesterol.lowering.supplements_1_bad\

-cholesterol-lipoprotein-ldl?_s=PM:HEALTH

My cholesterol was 286 a year ago. Now it's down to 228 or so. My bad (LDL)

cholesterol is what went down. My HDL is still in the good range. The

supplements I take that may be helping are soy and DIM (it contains broccoli and

other cruciferous vegetables). I also cut back on fatty foods. I'm not sure

what lowered it. Maybe a combination of the 3?
