Also look into EFT the self help technique that covers it all simple in a one minute sequence.

Odds are pretty good that high cholesterol runs in your family because eating like crap runs in your family. Take the fish oil, also try and avoid saturated fats other than from coconut oil. Don't worry about cholesterol levels in the foods you eat, it has no effect on serum cholesterol. Basically sticking to a reasonably high fiber level would be the other main thing you can do.
