Food Pyramid
An interesting list of food I found in food pyramid. Three of the nine listed items. 1. Dairy --- Raw Milk and other things 2. Healthy fats --- coconut and other things 3. Water --- plenty of, clean, fresh non-fluoridated water I wonder what sort of cholesterol level people in this part of the world

Abnormal Liver Test, am intensely scared.
*****I Don't drink or smoke BUT am overweight by 2stone*** I had a blood test for a different purpose which came back fine. I spoke to the receptionist and I was told all my test results were fine, i even went to pick up a copy of the test ( am guessing they left out the liver result) all were fine but

don't want to go back to the lipid clinic but where else can I get an FH test?
After today's experience, I really don't want to go back to the lipid clinic again. I only went because I wanted the FH test but as usual I felt completely steamrollered by the consultant, that he wasn't listening to anything I said, and I will have to wait 4 months for the results anyway. But I am very

Apolipoprotein a - yet another thing to worry about.
Ok so I just went to see my 3rd lipid consultant. He was slightly better than the other two in that he thinks, on the balance of probabilities, I've probably got polygenic hypercholesterolemia, not FH. He also accepted there were other risk factors. However since I have a family history of stroke - though

Post test results for Ezetrol 10 mg
I promised my partner, my heart specialist to test this product in order to lower my supposedly high cholesterol (total chol. 7,74; HDL :1,66; LDLc: 5,4; Tri.:1,49 mmol) . As I couldn't put up with terrible cramp with Atorvastine I was to try the Ezetrol, so I did a 2 month trial. This is what happened

The second time it happened, the thumping continued and I felt really
