high cholesterol

Posted by maria on December 18, 2000 at 13:18:37:

I have been on a medication for reducing my cholesterol for the past two weeks, but after reading around on this board, I am wondering how safe it is to take this medication. My cholesterol level was 242. HDL was 59.3, triglicerides were 100 and blood sugar 98. Should I continue taking this medication or should I try just the whole foods diet? Where can I find out exactly what the whole foods diet include, as the doctor told me to go on a low fat diet.
Any comments or knowledge about this would be appreciated.



has your thryoid been checked?

when someone has high cholesterol, their thryoid should also be checked because that is a common cause.

Hi, Maria.

It is easy to combine a whole foods diet with a low fat diet. Get Beth Loisele, RD's book "The Healing Power of Whole Foods" by calling her (800) 870-5378 number. Ask her how to do it.

Also, both SR and essential fatty acids (home page) will lower cholesterol within 6 months with only positive side effects. Combining them with mild, daily exercise will work even faster.

See the glossary for any unfamiliar terms.

Let us know how you do.

Walt
