Coconut Oil, Lauric acid, and Cholesterol
There had been several posts in the past few months discussing benefits of large doses of coconut oil for relieving portions of PD symptoms. One of the issues that has come up from time to time is the question of the impact of taking a large dose of the saturated fat in coconut oil on one's overall health

On blood pressure tablets and under pressure to go on a statin. Lost 1.5 stone in weight, now a pretty fit 58 yr old, this is quite a setback and is mystifying as I eat sensibly, drank fairly modestly and played golf 4 times on my wk away

The On-Line Gluten Summit - A Grain of Truth - There were a few things I thought interesting and worth reporting.....
There were 29 speakers/experts from around the world over the last seven days. I did not hear them all nor can I remember everything I heard - but there were some amazing facts - so will list them as points:- VitD can reverse production of auto-immune anti-bodies - no dose mentioned. AID is genetic

Can anyone help me with these test results for my Cholesterol please - and any recommendations on how to avoid going on Statins .
I have had my cholesterol test results back and they are as follows:- HDL 4.9 (Ratio 1.1.) : LDL 3.5 (Ratio 3.2) Total cholesterol was 5.4. I got these readings from receptionist over the phone and she has said that the GP has left a note to say that I need to come back for a further fasting test

My husband has finally been diagnosed with Polymyelitis Rheumatica; 1 injection of steroid stopped pain. Cholesterol level 3.3, no statins.
In desperation and against all our principles as NHS supporters we paid to see a specialist who diagnosed the condition immediately. Our GP will now continue to monitor blood cholesterol levels which presumably the statin had reduced and administer a declining dose of steroid - probably long term. Maybe

£650.00 health check on NHS?, cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure? Please read the health section on the copy of Sunday Mail.

High cholesterol (8.2) What's the best action and how quickly can I expect to reduce it?
I'm male 52, living in France. Just been diagnosed with a cholesterol count of 8.18 ( trig 2.26, HDL 1.60, LDL 5.56).... Hardly surprising, I live in the mountains famed for their cheese and wine production..... Whilst I speak reasonable day to day French I find it difficult to really understand and

Hypothyroidism and high cholesterol
Hello everyone. I am after a bit of advice. I have just had my sons (13) full lipid results back and have been told his thyroid is raised. 5.64 (should be 1-5). Has anyone else been in this situation? After doing some quick research It seems an over active thyroid can increase LDL (his is 5.94, total

COCONUT OIL DOES INCREASE HDL
On advice of medfree, I started taking two teaspoon of Coconut Oil (Virgin Cold milled) morning evening, after lunch and dinner. My HDL at the start of taking oil was 31 (reduced from 32 about a month ago). After over a month, today my my report has shown 36. This has also improved LDL/HDL ratio. So

Statins
My hypothesis on the merits of statin therapy is as follows:- Do statins reduce serum cholesterol? Is cholesterol instrumental in the clogging up of arteries? Do blocked arteries (atherosclerosis) lead to heart attacks/strokes? Having answered in the affirmative to all 3 questions, which people benefit

I'm very satisfied with the Giloy/Tinosphora pills that's the only form available in Canada. My sinus gone&fasting sugar 90mg/dl ,5 mmol/l
Does anyone know about any plant or herbal medicine for high blood pressure and cholestral. I know artichoke and flex seeds are good but didn't help much. Flex seed is good to raise HDL which is good but I'm looking for something which works to reduce LDL. Please help.

Totally in the dark with these readings :-(
I was recently admitted to A + E in the early hours with faintness and palpitations. My pulse on waking up at 3am was 140. In hospital they took blood tests and my cholesterol wasn't given on the form for my GP but the following figures were. Can anyone translate them? Are they bad readings? I'm 71 years
