Default How can I treat high cholesterol using natural drugs rather than prescription statins - 02-14-2008, 11:10 PM

Statins have terrible side effects and I am looking for something natural without the side effects of stat ins.

IF YOU ARE OVERWEIGHT - a glass of warm water at morning.
Do some light exercise. After two hours take a glass of carrot juice or vegetable juice. Citrous fruit juice is the best in morning breakfast.
For lunch take light meal with salad, if you are hungry; otherwise go with fruits.
Please remember "YOU SHOULD EAT ONLY WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY".
At night repeat lunch. In between or at morning too you can consume cocoa nut water.

Try ground flax seed. It has lowered my cholesterol to a healthy level.

You have to grind the seeds in a coffee mill and use immediately. The oil in the seeds can go rancid very quickly so keep refrigerated.

To have noticeable effects I have taken 3 heaping tablespoons flu and ground them and add to my cereal. Also good in yogurt.

First line of defense: diet and exercise

Second line of defense: Supplements. The number one supplement for changing cholesterol is pharmaceutical grade fish oil. Go look up Dr. Dave's pharmaceutical grade fish oil and buy a few bottles. Also, understand that cholesterol causes heart disease when it oxidizes and adheres to your artery walls. You can prevent the oxidation by taking anti-oxidants. Get a good grape seed extract. Or better yet, get one of the anti-oxidants on Dr. Dave's website.

If your cholesterol is still high, then you want to get the supplement, Policosanol. This is at least as powerful as any stat in drug in lowering your cholesterol but is completely safe and has some benefits you don't get from stat in drugs (for example, it causes HDL levels to rise...no drug does that).

The key to managing something like cholesterol is monitoring what you are doing. You should ALWAYS pull a cholesterol panel, every time you institute something new to see that it is in fact doing something. This includes if you choose to take stat in drugs.

One test that you absolutely should have (but your doctor will rarely recommend) is an ultra fast CT of the heart. This nifty test will actually measure the amount of calcification in your coronary arteries and give you a robust measure of your risk. High risk individuals should definitely consider different treatment strategies than low risk individuals. Have the test done every few years to guard against developing atherosclerosis and to make sure you are on the right track. Most cardiologists will be happy to schedule this test for you and explain to you the many benefits of detecting and managing heart disease as early as possible.

Also, get a subscription to the Blaylock Wellness Report. It's like $50 a year but it is the best source I've found for what works vs what doesn't.
