Liver detox/support/supplements for high cholesterol?

[Guest guest]

Hi, my husband is being encouraged to lower his cholesterol. We eat TF at least

75% of the time at home (most of what I cook) So good fats, happy meat (not all

necessarily pastured, but at least we know which farm it came from!) happy eggs

about 50% of the time, non-hemogenized milk at least 50% of the time, mostly

gluten free, soaked grains, fairly low use of natural sugars, etc.

When he's out on his own, he's on his own. He does have a few bad habits (gummy

candies, pop, potato chips, etc are a few) but I know he doesn't indulge too

often, as they are very rarely present at home. But with his triglyceriedes,

he'll have to indulge much less.

So my game plan is to start leaning a little more paleo. Summer will be much

easier as we have CSA veggies and the farmers market too.

From what I have gathered from the less mainstream info I came across googling,

inflammation is a possible contributor to high cholesterol levels, and perhaps

more specifically liver inflammation. I wondering if something like a liver

clense/detox or a liver support supplement might help? Any

experience/advice/tips out there?

A friend of mine has several really interesting posts about cholesterol on

her blog that might be of interest. May want to follow all the links from

the original one.
