I changed to a very healthy diet, eliminating all bad foods and drinks, increased the amount of water I drank daily, walked about 45 minutes a day. I learned the benefits of alternative therapies such as liver flushing and juice fasting.
My last blood test (June) showed that I was in the optimum range with everything but cholesterol and triglyceride levels - I was really surprised as those levels have continued to drop, but not far enough. I decided not to worry too much, because I know everything I do is healthy (according to the many health books I have read)
In June my blood test came back with:
Cholesterol 276
HDL 66
LDL 178
Triglycerides 159
I have been doing a lot of things to reduce cholesterol for the past 3 years. Daily double servings of oatmeal, psyllimum, 10 almonds per day, freshly ground flaxseed daily, lots of garlic, apple cider vinegar, Essential fatty acids, at least 10 servings of fresh, mostly raw, organic fruits and vegetables daily, brown rice, legumes, nuts, seeds the whole thing - vitamins and various supplements. I'm sure I'm not thinking of everything at this moment. I have done juice fasts, colon/parasite cleanses and about 9 liver flushes. I was really surprised that my cholesterol had not gone down more.
I decided to try some of the specific therapies I have read about.
- Vitamin C 1000mg 3 times per day
- Niacin - I did this, but didn't get to the levels to do good or consistently enough.
- Up the daily dosage of Essential Fatty Acids other healthy oils and vitamin E
- Up the dosage of food enzymes and hydrochloric acid. I have added lemon juice to my water daily (aids digestion), for the past 3 years and taken food enzymes when I ate protein. I decided to take food enzymes with EVERY meal. I think this is one of the key factors to reducing cholesterol - through and complete digestion of food, so the body doesn't need to make as much (cholesterol).
Last month I went on a 13 day liquid fast and did a Colon Cleanse and a Liver Flush (the 10th flush) - flushed a few hundred stones... (Liver Flushes are known to reduce cholesterol)
I believe all of it worked together so when I phoned today to get the results of the last blood test, what I knew would happen, did...
Whoo-hoo - I am a 63 year old female with NO health problems. I'm not on one prescription drug - and my new numbers are:
Cholesterol 194, down from 371 - 4/03
HDL 64, up from 50
LDL 114, down from 255
Triglycerides 82, down from 330
I used generic Zyban the first time - that was before I learned about a lot of health things. It took me a few trys. I have written about it at a wonderful 24/7, online, world wide, support group that I found over 5 years ago - I doubt I could have done it or stuck with it without all I learned about smoking and the group.

I do a Health Journal there - Health Beat - I'm 4Health and a also a personal journal of my journey to being a ex-smoker. I'm Charly there too. The Health Journal tells of some natural aids and supplements that I have learned about.
Becoming a "health - nut" prevents me from ever wanting to smoke again...LOL. I have worked really hard to get healthy and there is no way I'll ever smoke again. It was 4-20-03 that I quit for the last time. I have chosen to learn to love NOT smoking!
Thank you Charly. I'll try anything at this point. My most recent quit date was August 7th. Alas, I lasted about 3 weeks. I got accupuncture and it really seemed to work at first -- I was really a nonsmoker . . . but only for about 2 weeks. I want to quit so bad. I'm doing everything else right (diet, 16 liver flushes, colonics, oil pulling, exercise, etc.) but this smoking really has a hold on me -- 25 years! I'm so sick of it.
My 76 year old mother has high cholesterol and I am encouraging her to flush
did you use HC method? with ES or the Magnesium Citrate one?? thanks
I think I'll start her off on MC then after a few get her on the ES
Also, my hubby has high triglycerides, currently he is on RESQ1250 (marine oils) and has done 3 or 4 flushes........he stopped flushing but I copied and pasted your testimonial and sent it to him at work so that it will motivate him to continue
what foods do you eat?
our dr. put us on a 1400-1600 calorie diet to reduce weight but we substitute healthier versions of foods like ezekial bread and brown rice for grains
minimal meat and very lean
yogurt for dairy
they only recommend 1 fruit per day on this plan.......i miss my fruit but we must lose weight!
and lot's of green veggies
this is the breakdown
grains 5oz
beans and meats 5oz
dairy 3oz---we have 3 cups of yogurt
veggies 4oz but i don't measure the green veggies we fill up on them
fruit 1.5cup or 1large piece :(
Great work! I have not been back to the doctor for my liver (enzymes were high among other things) in over 18 months... I am sure I have had considerable improvement. Might have to make a visit just to compare tests or NOT :-)
Always remember everyone is different. I am a 64 year old male and a food abuser. (I don't drink) I eat anything. 9 months ago my cholesterol was 259. Today it is 201. I take one whole food supplement with each meal. Standard Process Cholaplex. The secret is iodine. THIS MAY NOT WORK FOR EVERYONE. I have NO will power.
