Hiya Dutchdude! :)

That's so great that you followed up on the Pitta guidelines, you should see some nice improvements in your issues. :)

It's a combination of things so I just generally say toxins, but toxins can include the lipo-protein cholesterol you betcha.

When there is this kind of circulatory issue present, it's usually best to cleanse both the liver and lymphs too, paying special attention to bile cleansing and power of digestion so you don't add more toxic residue into the mix.

Also good to pay attention to alkalinity so that intra-cellular toxins are easily released. You can do this with the cleansing drink, Acid Defense, EmergenC, just one or a combination, whatever strikes your fancy and meets your budget. :)

It is generally accepted by natural healers that cleansing the bowel and liver thoroughly eventually cleanses all the other systems and major organs. It just takes time and commitment and a willingness to be flexible with your protocols, and suffer healing crisis from time to time. :)
