Has any one been diagnoised with Cholestrol?

awwwww that sounds real good.

all he said was cut out on fried foods well we hadnt had much anything fried for years! and years! Noone seems to have a plan for a diet to lower it around here. Even when I was in therapy after the heart attack the nurses there didnt have any menu for me to follow! also we havent had salt for yesrs

thanks I do eat these things but not eery day as I dont buy the groceries and I do like eggs!

okay - increase your veggie intake - things like broccoli, cauliflower, green ones to 4 cups raw or 2 cups cooked daily - starchy vegges less - they count more as carbs eat less meat - even lean meats - to about 6-8 oz a day, you can replace one "oz" of meat with a no sugar added yogert 6-8 oz or an egg counts as an oz - if you eat tofu - you can have a cup... eat 3 fresh fruits a day

Yes, it is important to be aware of that the good oils also make the blood thinner. If we take medication to do that too, it could be too much. If the doctor has not forbidden you to eat fish, maybe you could take one capsule of the fish oil a day, but it is always better ask him or her first. Personally I try to avoid pharmacy medicines and try to keep to natural food supplements but if I would be taking medication, I would - with the help of the doctor - diminish the medicine and slowly go over to natural food supplements. I would let the doctor keep doing blood tests until I knew I could manage without medication. I am not sure all doctors are cooperative doing this - but there are some who would - like the scientists who teach doctors, are experts in nutrition and work with GNLD and Stanford University. You maybe already read about this group on the site I gave you. Anyway, it is entirely up to you what you decide to do in this case.. Wish you better health..

thanks for your info but heart DOc told me I couldnt take the fish oils while taking plavix. Make my blood thinner than what it is now and I brusie up just lookinh at myself it seems

So glad that your is good. and I dont eat many eggs . BUt what is funny is that the mayo clinic has a heart menu for thier pateints that includes eggs. al the bacon you can eat and grapefruitor juice. which I cant drink now with the meds I take . Thanks for the URL will lok atit.

Ihave done all that reall lowered salt intake yearsssssssssss ago hardly ever fried any foods maybe once a month or longer! Changed my milk to 2% for thats what they put me on in the hospital. No margerine for me as its close to being plastic. But I do use less real better than I used to and always with tthe cheese is lowfat

that is starnge that he didnt do blood work first to find out for sure he shouldnt have presumed any thing . and I think that one is like Zocor which my Doctor put me on and it attacked my muscles and made me hurt all over and in my joints hurt so bad I have now stopped taking it and I dont hurt like that any more but I still cant walk as far as I used to before I took it. am hoping soon I can walk far again with no pian.

I stay in pain & have for a long time. I haven't been going to this dr. but for about a year i gues but i'm not very impressed w/him or many of them to be honest. I think all they see is $ signs. Hope u get back to where u were.

with being in pain how about not taking that cholestrol med he put ya on with out checking on your blood first . Yup Doctors see that $ more in Tenn than amy where . KNew a woman that went to 3 differnt Doctors in one day to get more meds! thats bad!

Are you haveing any side effects form this med. I hate meds as so many I cant tolorate my body just rejects them. am hoping to find some one here that has found a natural remedy to use

No side effects on this although I have alot with others. No natural remedy except just eat right.

www.bioinnovations.net has all that info.

If you use the flaxseed be sure to grind it up some otherwise it just passes through with out any benefit.

I love avocados walnuts and almond but dont know about flax seed but it does sound good

I guess so

is that like Zocor?

thanks for your responce glad they are working for you. I am on 2 BP meds myself not sure what they are to do but thin blood where I brusie just looking at my arms lolololol That is a new name for a pill will write it down and ask Doc about it when I go MONday.

yes I am on 2 BP meds too plus plavix. THey had me on some that I got very sock on so they had to change it after severl different kids they finally found 2 that do ok for amost 2 years now but I dont take the Zocor any more nothing for cholestrol in hopes of finding some herb or something natrual to take

I have read that it isnt HIgh cholestrol that gives you a heart attack COuld have been too low! But sure glad your alive or I would hav3 missed meeting you!
