We've been brainwashed by the medical world that cholesterol is a bad thing....and therefore the statins are pushed for this bad thing.
I woke up this morning to my PBS radio program with a commentary from an MD here who is saying what the pharma says is all wrong....
We need good cholesterol for our brains for starters....he talks about the importance of good oils which include: olive oil, coconut oil, avadocos, fish oils etc.
This MD has written books about the Grain Brain and Wheat Belly and went on to mention India is in epidemic with diabetes as they eat so many grains there....and low in fats.
I believe we are not permitted to mention doctor's names here....so I won't....mention doctor P.
Comments from others "in the know on this issue"....???
My integrative MD has been more concerned about homocysteine and heart health. and she checks mine every year in the labs she does.
Having some trouble typing here, but wanted to say my homocystine levels have elevated in recent years and now working to reduce with Omega 3's and other good oils to get that number down....
Read the Great Cholesterol Con: The Truth About What Really Causes Heart Disease and How to Avoid It. An easy and amusing read for the layman which really opens your eyes to the research we don't hear about.
hi joy i hope i have the right lady. did you say you used oscillicium if you felt a cold or fever coming on .if i have the right lady could you please tell me how u use it as its instructions are in every language except english . i have 6 little tubes in the box.
I use Oscillo IF I feel fluish issues....and you have to start right away if you feel fluish...I've not had to use it in a long time....Directions say take entire tube every 6 hrs up to 3 times per day....let dissolve in mouth....best not to eat or drink things for a while before or after. Oscillo is made in France.
For colds that feel like they will start I hit my body with Echineaca, 2 500mg caps every 2-3 hrs and this does it for me. Do this for a day or so, but it get it right away for me a short dosing does it.
yes we need cholesterol, good fats, and higher unprocessed salt levels.
statins have minimal benefit but can cause harm by reducing Co Enzyme Q 10 in the body leading to an increased incidence of coronary artery disease. if at risk of this condition co q 10 supplementation is very helpful.
thanks for bringing this up joy...hope you're well xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi. Despite my eating fat off meat, pouring cooking fats over my vegies from a pan, eating up to three eggs in a sitting several times a week plus yes eating the dreaded chocolate as i feel like my cholesterol was read to me today as 2 for the bad one and 4 for the good one. I jokingly said to my doc oh good i can eat more chocolate and his reply is to eat as much as i want. Chocolate and animal fats are the only oils/fats that dont go straight through me. So ho hum. Lol. It looks like i need it!!! Fats are so important in our bodies as our heart lungs and brains are so reliant on them its not funny and with out them we are prone to many dideases. The worst thing you can do is take cholesterol lowering medication esp as we get older. Have a great book about the necessity of fats and oils.
thats because they knew there butcher and baker green grocer and they kept good stuff to keep good customers and there buisness .customer loyalty mattered today the supermarket dont give a fig its all about profit and waste.
another wise saying i wish i had listened to . was if you have only a pound dont spend a pound and a penny . you may not be able to keep up with the neighbours but at least you wont be joining them at the doctors needing antidepresents when you have money worries .
Oh I can still hear my mom saying "save your money Joy".....I said oh mom I'm fine.....she was a wise woman....
I don't think I ever heard the word cholesterol until maybe 20some yrs ago ... someone once said the drug companies create health issues to fit their ongoing drug production....
I take CQ10 for years too....sure glad this alternative group is here....but it outta be prime healing and not alternative... aka Prevention.
so glad you're on to that one wilma...and with the add more, unprocessed, salt.... life is good. i never listened to that earlier twaddle....never had my cholesterol checked....just didn't give it airtime.
I also agree with you about toxins and this is were, perhaps as nurses with higher than average exposures, we must be diligent.
was thinking about the vit c prob which you have and do believe I may possibly have come up with a solution for you.................
Its called astaxanthin...its 600 times stronger than vit c but is oil based and in a lovely tiny capsule. I think you will find it a pleasure to take. I do.
Yes we get some good Dr's here now and then. My old Dr told me to cook in dripping as its easiest for our bodies to absorb. All these newer oils are hard on the body to process. Esp me as i malabsorb all fats so need all the help i can get.
