hello all.

i'm very worried with my mother's cholesterol levels for a long time. several doctors changed the meds and the only one that brought the cholesterol levels down was Inegy that is basically more of a poison than a med as far as i've been understanding the studies that i read. natural garlic, parsely, spinach, tomatoes, etc seem to help but don't solve the problem. she has a very controlled diet and it seems that her liver is stuburn and produces cholesterol in a uncontrolled way.

Do you have any advices or suggestions for this complicated situation?

Also i'm getting to the conclusion that it is not worth buying a cholesterol meter since they make a real extorsion business out of the stripes. do you agree or have a good solution suggestion?

thank you very much for any help

Helena

No doctor knows what your mother's cholesterol level should be; some people need a higher level than others. It has been said that it can be dangerous to lower the level when it is naturally high. A Heart Surgeon gives an interesting insight into the subject at: healthscams.org.uk/heart-su....

I also give you a précis of a small part a chapter in a book entitled “Gut the inside story” written by a German doctor, Giulia Enders where she explains the function of the gut in relation to cholesterol.

"Definition of cholesterol: It comes from the Greek words “chole” = bile and “stereos” = solid. It was first discovered in gallstones.

The body produces between 75% and 90% of its own cholesterol. It is needed for sex hormones, vitamin D and a plethora of unstable cells. There has been shown a connection between low cholesterol level and memory problems, depression and aggressive behaviour.

The level is ideally controlled by various bacteria in the gut, some encourage the production others suppress it.

The connection between bacteria and cholesterol was first discovered in the 1970s. Studies on Maasai warriors in Africa discovered that the cholesterol levels in their blood were low despite a diet consisting almost entirely of meat and milk. The excessive amount of animal fat in their diet did not cause high blood-lipid levels. A mysterious ingredient in the milk was suspected of controlling the cholesterol levels however experiments on milk from, cows, camels and even rats found nothing.

In another experiment the Maasai warriors were given a vegetable based milk replacement product (Coffee Mate) with high levels of cholesterol added to it. Their cholesterol levels did not change. The bacteria inhabiting their gut from previously drunk milk had accommodated the excess and dealt with it. High cholesterol foods have no effect on the body's level."

The poison in our food today is an excess of pure sugar.

I hope that will give you an understanding of the mechanism and so whether to treat the condition or not.

Thank you Dottie11. I've been to the site myself and coped the web address again which I hope will be O.K. this time. You were right it did come up with 404 not found. However here it is: healthscams.org.uk/heart-su... Would you be good enough to let me know the result, many thanks.

Hello again Dottie11. Please copy and share what you like, it's all in the public domain. I've checked the replacement link to the heart surgeon and it seems to work O.K.
