Re: Food for Thought: Alzheimers, Cholesterol and Blood Pressure

Yes, I get it too, and they have some very intriguing research, but they miss this one by a long shot. They're all over the pharmaceutical companies, but they've got their own financial game too. Good and bad. I don't really know why they named that article "Second Pass". A second pass refers to the second action of a drug or second peak, as it goes through the body. ???

Food for Thought: Alzheimers, Cholesterol and Blood Pressure

Hi, All!

I get this newsletter in my email. I normally don't pay too much attention to it, because there is a lot of marketing going on in it. They are pushing nutritional solutions.

But one thing jumped out at me: the connection between cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and Alzheimers. These folks missed something, and that is the effect of thyroid on cholesterol levels and blood pressure.

Re: Food for Thought: Alzheimers, Cholesterol and Blood Pressure

That is the one big thing I have noticed since my

switch to Armour!

During my annual physical in 2002, my cholesterol

levels were over

range, and my Internist said I needed to do

something to get it under

control. Mind you I am only slightly

overweight, not too bad. I

work hard the whole year at eating better, trying

to lower

cholesterol.

Annual physical 2003... results are much better, I

am only

borderline. She was much happier. Then

comes 2004. I have been on

Armour, not watching what I eat, not doing a thing

to lower

cholesterol... and look at these results from my

recent annual

physical.

Triglycerides

45 (<200)

Total cholesterol

167 (<240)

LDL ('bad'

chol.)

96 (<130)

HDL ('good' chol.)

62 (35-150)

Total/HDL

ratio

2.69 (<4.55)

Nothing you can say will convince me that it

wasn't the Armour.
