Cholesterol (natural help?)

[Metalivore]

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie to this site, but keen to ask a very old question, and I don't want to frighten my GP; Does ACV (apple cider vinegar) really help reduce cholesterol, and if so, would it clash regrettably with omeprazole as a daily intake? I have spent much time on the 'net and not managed to nail this one. My cholesterol level is not dangerous, but I may have been falsely alarmed by one who should know better, so any advice offered based on personal experience would be most gratefully received, Thank You.

Hi!

I have heard good reports about ACV for acid reflux but have no feedback to give you ref ACV and omeprazole sorry. That said my cholesterol was high and my GP said I should go on statins. I "negotiated" with him and he agreed he would give me 3 months to get it down naturally and if it was still high after a retest I would go on statins. I am pleased to report I am not on statins. Its good to have a GP that listens to his patient. It should be noted that I have no family history of heart probs/high C. I understand from a nurse friend of mine that GP's are advised to prescribe statins if your cholesterol reaches a trigger point. Good luck

Hi Linley,

Thanks so much for the response, I'm currently going through the same "3 months retest" thing, so it's probably a common occurrence. I have been putting my trust in oats as a sort of self-imposed saturation treatment, because the incidence of success is quite high, and I've got a month to go! I've got no worries re heart, etc., but I'm keen to stay ahead of the game as it were, hence my interest in ACV. Thanks again, Kind Regards.

Hi Metivore .

Firstly I seen in your reply to David here that it's your 70th birthday in few days. So big happy birthday in advance Hugs 🤗🤗🤗🤗😂🤣

As to your question about apple cider vinegar, I use it two days a week and it's great. Horrible to take but it's great and my GP is happy enough me taking it too. Hope this helps 🤗 keep strong and Happy birthday 🤠💃⛹️👯

Good Morning Keepstrong,

I very much appreciate your warm wishes for my upcoming milestone, every day needs a bright start, Thank You!

I haven't started using ACV myself just yet, due to my GP's agreement that perhaps my daily intake of Omeprazole could be reduced, (as noted in my reply David), and I didn't want to complicate anything ongoing. My Wife has been taking ACV every morning for a few months, and it has helped her enormously with her own self-imposed weight loss programme. In complete contrast to the metabolism I live with (enjoy?), she has to watch her diet very carefully, but with ACV, she gets more from the food she eats for longer, and has lost 18lbs since Jan1.

Thanks for the advice Keepstrong, very helpful. Have a good day!
