The Supplement "red rice yeast"will lower cholesterol levels as good as any medical drug. Take one capsule three times daily. The supplement Lecithin is also beneficial in lowering cholesterol levels. The powdered form is the best 1tsp. three times a day in a glass of water.

Answer 2

Limit your intake of red meat and increase your vegetable/ fruit selections to 5 servings a day. Use only pure virgin olive oil for cooking. If you're not used to the taste, you will get used to it in time. Olive oil has the "good" fatty acids whereas, corn oil or regular vegetable oil has the "bad" fats and raises your cholesterol. I also take a supplement called EFA's which is a multiomega combination of flax, borage. and fish oil. Also try meditation or focused relaxation three times a day. One of the biggest contributors to high cholesterol is stress. The less stress, the lower your cholesterol. I lowered mine by 40 points using the above methods.

Answer 3

Obviously diet and exercise but oatmeal really does lower your cholesterol like the commercials claim. The only change I made was eating a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast every day and it lowered my cholesterol 35 points in 3 months.

Answer 4

Exercise, diet, and medication, or a combination of all 3.

Answer 5

The answer to your question is that I have already done what I need to do to lower my cholesterol and do not need to lower it any more.

The LDL cholesterol is bad and the HDL cholesterol is good. When you eat any oil, you have cells in the intestine connected to the stomach that excrete an enzyme called enterokinase that goes into the blood stream and within less than a minute hits the gall bladder (it's specific to the gall bladder, not the liver) and causes it to squeeze causing bile to flow down and break up the oil into cholesterol & water. If the oil is good oil, you will get good cholesterol, if it is bad oil or degraded oil from high heat cooking, you will get bad cholesterol.

How I did it:

1. I make sure I eliminate all SOY products and all CANOLA oils from my diet. These oils are very high in omega 6 fatty acids and have a negative effect on various organs such as the liver, thyroid, and gall bladder. Don't trust companies like KRAFT foods that provide genetically altered oils for their mayonaises, even their cheeses contain soy as a filler to cheapen their products. Read labels. Do not buy anything that says "vegetable oils" because these oils are usually soy or canola and contain genetically engineered oils that are designed to help farmers and manufacturers, not you the consumer, regardless of how many claims they make on the label to the contrary. The FDA looks out for them, not your health. If you don't believe this, then ask the head of the FDA or EPA that were ex-Monsanto executives that makes the genetically altered garbage, why they allow manufacurers to NOT label foods containing genetically engineered foods. You have no way of knowing unless someone tells you.

2. Good oils are: Olive oil, palm oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, grape seed oil for cooking due to it's very high cooking temperature resistance to breaking down.

3. Eliminate all deep fried foods because in order to deep fry you need to raise the temperature of the oil beyond the point where it breaks down the fatty acids in the oil and contributes to the LDL cholesterol. LDL cholesterol is low density lipids and this combines with your coronary calcium in your blood to clog your arteries.

4. Get your coronary calcium checked. This test should cost about $250 to have this done. It is probably more important to know what this level is than cholesterol because even if you have a low LDL cholesterol test, you can have a high coronary calcium level and get a heart attack. Eliminate anything that has Calcium Carbonate in it. This is the cheapest form of calcium the manufacture can use and it is toxic to the body causing all kinds of problems. It doesn't build strong bones, it contributes to many diseases and things like kidney stones. Use only dietary calcium. This what they make chalk out of and it comes from crushed rocks.

5. Check the condition of your liver and gall bladder. These two organs are the weak link in your body that will determine how you are digesting your oils. If you eat bad oils and have a weak or compromised liver and/or gall bladder, your cholesterol LDL will go up because the oils will not be digested properly. This is the one thing that most doctors ignore and drug companies don't want you to know about. Drug companies love to sell cholesterol lowering drugs that shorten your life, create side effects like damaging your liver, the very thing that you need to protect.

You can test your gall bladder & liver very easily in the comfort of your own home and do not need to get a fancy, costly, and most likely not very effective test the doctor will give you. Just swallow one or two cod liver oil capsules in the morning. If you burp it up during the day, you have a problem with your gall bladder and/or your liver.

You need to detox these organs on a regular basis to make sure they are working at their optimum. The liver is the most ignored organ and probably the most abused because ALL drugs affect the liver. When you detox these organs, it is imperative that you have a morning pH that ranges 6.4 to 7.0.

O.K., you can see why doctors like to give cholesterol lowering pills because it's much easier to allow a person to go on living the dream and not changing their habits that put them in the position of having high LDL cholesterol and also, most doctors don't really understand or want to take the time to work with a patient to really fix the problem that is causing the high LDL.

6. Don't listen to the crazies that tell you saturated fats are bad for you and to eat the high omega 6 fatty acid oils to lower your cholesterol like Canola, margarine, etc. But don't eat commercial beef you buy at your local grocery store either because these saturated fats are very bad for you. Any food that contains Hydrogenated Oils and especially partially Hydrogenated Oils is the worst. These oils, even if you have a healthy liver & gall bladder, will produce LDL cholesterol.

In the 1930's, a dentist named Weston Price, traveled around the world studying indigenous people, their diet and examined their teeth and health. He made an amazing discovery that cannot be denied, even though many food companies, the FDA, EPA, and many, many nutritionists today would love to ignore. He found that people that ate diets high in saturated fats were the healthiest! The saturated fats were not from beef sources that are sold in America today, but from cows that were eating grass, animals that were eating off the land on fertile soils rich in minerals. These animals produce high omega 3 fatty acids to low omega 6 fatty acids. Look at one group of these people you are probably familiar with, the eskimos. They eat large amounts of animal fat and they are very healty with very low heart problems.

Fish oils, flax seed (you need a healthy liver to process the flax because it turns the omegas in the flax to omega 3's if your liver is working well), beef from grass fed cattle is very good for you (also contains high CLA that is cancer fighting).

Follow this as I have done and you will have the best chance of solving the cholesterol problem. It really worked and is working for me today.
