Don't upvote. Struggling with High Cholesterol Do my frens here have any natural solutions?
🧐 Research Wanted 🤔
Fam and I eat mostly Organic. Been trying to loose some weight too. I will try to exercise more but this has been creeping up on me more and more this last year. Anyone know if a long fast lowers this? Going to try a fast for a few weeks maybe and reset my system. Any other non pharma recs on how to lower this down? Thanks guys.
The sad fact is that years ago big pharma accidentally, during completely unrelated trials, discovered a drug that lowered cholesterol. Some executive, who's a billionaire now, came up with an idea to demonize cholesterol and create a huge market for their new class of drugs. High cholesterol as a health problem was born. It is completely unproven and 100% marketing. See The Cholesterol Myth: Lies My Doctor Told Me, by Jonny Bowden.
This is an excellent book. And Johnny Bowden is able to communicate in a very understandable way for lay persons. I just gave a copy of this book to my older sister who is having bad side effects from Repatha. Her cholesterol (LDL) is too low and she was also on atorvastatin. Her doctor told her "your cholesterol can't be too low" which is either ignorance or a lie. Thankfully she stopped both statins and the Repatha.
We have familial hypercholesteremia. HDL and LDL can be further broken down, and in our case we have elevated Lp(a) which is very bad for laying down plaque. I was able to lower my overall cholesterol and Lp(a) with the Lysine and Vitamin C regimen for plaque removal as discussed on this platform. Also take olive leaf capsules, plant sterols and citrus bergamot, also a keto plan diet, low to no sugar, lots of veggies and meat, eggs, fish, avocadoes and nuts. High cholesterol in normal people is not the problem, it is inflammation from sugar and other pollutants. I just had a calcium scan done and am awaiting the results. Fingers crossed that there is low to no plaque in my arteries.
Thank you for this.
Go with what Mr. Berframer tells you. He knows of what he speaks. Very good reply.
Sugar is in nearly EVERYTHING we eat in the American diet, and I have spent the last year eliminating as much sugar as I can, and I think I'm about down to around 10 grams a day. Sugar greatly impacts cholesterol, so start comparing labels on food, and look for No Sugar Added or Sugar Free foods. My weight has dropped to where I like it and I now consider sugar as my enemy.
Plus every time you ingest sugar, you get an insulin spike. Not good.
^Came to say this.
Triglycerides are, conceptually, ONE sugar molecule with THREE fat molecules bristling out in various directions. In other words, the sugar binds the fat into indigestible lumps. The more double bonds, the 'harder' the molecule is to break down into 'digestible' or 'transportable' bits.
It's more complicated than that, because it depends what 'kind of fat" is tied up with the sugary bit. The mantra for the last forty years has been to consume polyunsaturated instead of saturated fats. Theory being that lard and tallow were 'bad', because animal fat, or something. They were adamant with the marketing, and even doctors believed in heart-health = lo-fat.
First problem is that fat has a natural off-button. Try it and see - there is only so much fat you an eat before you are not hungry anymore. Try munching out on butter, for example. I bet you can't get past two whole tablespoons. On the other hand, sugar as no 'off button' - arguably it has a renewal function where you crash and need to have more, at more and more frequent intervals.
The second problem with that defunkt fat-theory is that the polyunsaturated fats are that way, because they have more double bonds, 'linking to itself', instead of 'saturating' with Hydrogen. If you think about that - double bonds are harder to break.
Maybe, just maybe, the saturated fats, with the higher boiling points and Hydrogen in every available spot, are good for you, because conceptually the molecule is all soft, as it slides past the artery or cell walls. (and tallow and lard, and eggs etc. ARE safer - please don't use industrially heated 'vegetable oil' which is not even fit to grease engines). Also: Check labels, and cook your own from scratch.
To control the harmful, get rid of the sugar in your blood, and start eating the 'good' fats and everything will start working as intended. That is: running the heart, the hormones and converting the stored energy (your FUPA) into actual muscle energy (via ketosis).
And final note: Giving up sugar can be alarming at first - stock up on Vitamin C to suck, use pickle juice instead of soda (salt/baking soda/ potassium/magnesium/some cider vinegar in plenty of water); AVOID sugar, but also fruits, pasta, breads, because carbs are the second cousin to sugar.
Also suck on a teaspoon of butter if desperate for a candy-bar.
And don't forget to eat MOAR meat, eggs, butter, cheese (if you can handle those dairy bits). Eat enough so you can eat-once-a-day.
Less frequent meals helps with dropping the insulin habit.
I do carnivore and my “numbers” are stellar. However, those “numbers” are arbitrary and no two people are exactly the same. Do you have medical issues that are plaque related? In the 50’s a cholesterol score of 350 was fine. What I’m saying is if your numbers are high without issue…maybe that is your norm. If medicine had their way, we’d all be on statins.
no it was high 210 then jumped 260. Only health issues i have is Military fucked up my liver and has always been wonkey. As I am now 35 I am starting to have some thyroid issues but I don't take pharma shit. Gonna try to fast and then go carnivore all while exercising and see if me dropping 40 lbs helps. Gonna get retested in 6 months. so 40 lbs should be doable.
This should work. Only issue with going carnivore is that some people fail to hydrate properly and get constipation issues. To avoid that, or solve it in case it happens, mage sure to drink plenty of water with electrolytes (i.e. salt, especially sea salt).
Cholesterol is not the problem,

I will watch this. Thank you
I have always had high cholesterol numbers and the older I am the numbers get higher. Tried many statins that affected my legs and arms. Finally had a blood test to determine which type of cholesterol I have....the small sticky type that clogs arteries or the large fluffy type that doesn't. I am lucky to have the large type. And when I showed this to my doctor he had not known about it. But he finally admitted that my body probably produces excess and has finally stopped trying to get me to take statins.
Smart. Most people don't know about the large fluffy type that a high fat diet produces. I am so glad to see so many people looking beyond the medical profession for all their information.
We certainly can't trust the medical professionals to do anything other than treat symptoms and prescribe more drugs. I watched my parents believe anything the Drs said and take more and more drugs, which I am sure killed them before their time....we have to do our own research on everything these days.
My LDL (small sticky kind) are off the chart without statins. . And they are still above normal when I was placed on 80mg of Atorvastatin for 2 years. Had to get them cut back down to 40 mg since they are destroying my liver as my liver aZT enzymes were elevated
In spite off this I had a calcium scan done earlier this year and I have absolutely no buildup in any arteries. if I can just convince my doctor I’m ok without taking any statins.
I go back to see her the end of the month and if my liver values are still high I’m going off the statins.
Would like to follow this thread if there are any other ways to bring it down. I’ve tried eating Keto and it didn’t help.
My doc thinks it’s familial and my eating doesn’t affect it.
Most likely is familial as diet and exercise never helped me either. I also have done calcium scans once a year since 2005 and never show any blockage. Figure at 75 years I am doing well. If you are eating healthy, exercising and get the scans you are probably doing what is best for you if it is hereditary. If you haven't heard Dr.Berg you might give him a listen.
Statin drugs will lower your cholesterol while shrinking your brain.
Hawthorn is good for rhythm issues. Tell your folks to take CoQ10 if they are married to the statins.
Red rice yeast in capsules have been maintaining a good level with the help of grapefruit juice that amplifies the strength- told mydoc and he is happy with the results. Anything to get away from ANY Pfizer product...
Been reading all the comments ! What a blessing you are !
Re: psyllium husk - it is good to have some fibre in there to help with digestive issues - I would also recommend apple-sauce for pectin for the same reason. One tablespoon at a time - prolly six times or more a day. From experience: It helps with nausea from the liver dumping - and this can be a life-saver.
Re: cholesterol is not your enemy - agreed. You also need it to keep your brain from turnng into damaged alzheimer brain.
Thanks for the help. I will look into and try all this.

Watch on youtube these doctors...Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Anthony Chaffee, and Dr. Ken Berry. They say a carnivore diet is essential to resetting your body. Fasting for 2-3 helps, too. Get off all prescribed drugs, don't eat sugar or starches and eat a lot of fatty meat. I've been taking ivermectin paste for some undesirable thoughts and it cleared them up. It made me happier throughout the day. Remarkable what a dose of ivermectin does for the body and the brain. I read through all of the comments on this post and every one seems to lean in the same direction....big pharma and medicine is bad, food is not made to be nutrtious or good for the human body and folks are taking back their lives from the lies spewed by MSM and the food makers. I'm glad a ton of replies have come in to guide you in your search for a weight loss plan and getting healthier. Everyone is different, but if you stick to the common themes within the replies you will feel better, look better, and be better. Just make sure you DO SOMETHING!!! Don't just sit there and say "next week I'll......" Begin today. God bless.
Cholesterol is not the arsonist, it's the fireman.
It’s the Ratio of the two cholesterol levels that counts
Fren, look up Dr. Ekberg on YouTube. He has a treatise on the subject of cholesterol. Here are two main points. 1. Actuary life tables show total cholesterol of 240 mg/dl as the lowest probability of death, meaning cholesterol can be much higher than recommendations andstill be healthy. 2. A carnivore/ keto diet which rids the body of excessive sugar will improve your cholesterol/ triglycerides profile. My triglycerides were creeping up until I drastically curtailed my fructose / sugar intake. Now, my joint inflammation is gone and my blood panel looks fantastic!

Don't struggle with your high cholesterol. Embrace it, there is no proven link between reduced lifespan and what is considered "high" cholesterol. There is proof of harm with low cholesterol.
From a previous post: https://greatawakening.win/p/17txRCAEyc/people-with-high-cholesterol-lev/ Pay attention to the whole picture. Also, the nitric oxide is important.
This. Blood pressure only matters if you’ve been idle with no stressors for at least 15 minutes. That’s your true BP. However it cannot be captured accurately because when the cuff is placed…stressor. That’s why BP is higher during doctors appointments. It comes with a built in “Oh,no! so fear puts the doc in control.
Research the Swedish Amoris Study and the affects of high cholesterol on aging. You'll be surprised. It not good under the age of 65 but after that there were a lot lower mortality rates.
ALA it is inexpensive and readily available and for the life of me I can’t understand why the sites I used to discover it as a possible solution to soak up floating cholesterol have disappeared. This has been happening more and more. He is a basic link. https://www.webmd.com/diet/alpha-lipoic-acid-ala What I know is that pharma was doing a study to utilize ala as a treatment for cholesterol. I needed something to combat it and in our experience it worked well. Be aware that there is new “causes” increased death warnings. No way no links to what just the random people who take this and other supplements seem to have an elevated earlier death rate. ????????? So be aware. I can say no negative side effects we found and lots of improvement in various things. Used it treat neuropathy in my kiddo as well and it also helped. Hope that helps
I have to agree with Tim_Befframer below...High cholesterol is a big pharma way of making trillions of dollars. And lowering your cholesterol can cause issues with your brain, which uses cholesterol to function.
I'm not a dr. but I would like to know what your cholesterol is, your age, and your weight. I will gladly do some deep dive research and give you my findings.
