Hi, My cholesterol also runs around 200-220 and has for quite a few years,
at least since I've been tested. Fortunately my Doctor does not buy into
the cholesterol humbug, so I have not been put on drugs. Of course, part of
the reason for this, I'm sure, is that my digestive tract problems would
make figuring out a drug to use would be difficult if not impossible. He
has had enough trouble with trying to get me to take tranquilizing drugs, (
not sure if this is the right category), and various other things that are
supposed to help my bowel problems. He has given up on the medicines.
Thankfully, but now recommends total large bowel removal.. I am resisting
this, so far. Ruth

Dear Virginia,
This is a wonderful topic, isn't it? <LOL>
> ***Are you serious? 220 is good?
For decades, 220 or so was actually considered "normal" by the medical
profession. The acceptable level has been lowered with the
encouragement of the pharmaceutical companies so that more people can
be eligible to take their cholesterol lowering drugs.
They chosen the lowest level they can without the increased heart
attack rate becoming too obvious!
> My chol. has been 200/220 for years now . And this is a good thing?
Perfect!

Go to http://www.hugginsappliedhealing.com and click on the links for
the Online Store and Educational Materials. His book Uninformed Consent
is probably good. It covers the whole area of dental toxicity and a lot
about body chemistry, I think. I can't lay my hands on my copy right
now or I'd check the table of contents.
You can also call or e-mail them, and I'm sure they'll be able to tell
you which book(s) covers the specific topic of cholesterol levels.

As you should be, in fact! Triglyceride levels, apparently, contribute
more to blood pressure level than anything else. And you'll bring
*that* down by cutting back on carbs, sugars, and refined foods.
> How do you bring a Chol. level up?
Exercise is the single best approach. It doesn't have to be Olympian
level, either! Just walking, biking, rebounding, light duty resistance
training... Whatever you enjoy. And not a whole lot, either. One or two
sessions of a half hour every week would be enough to have a dramatic
effect in a few months' time.

Definitely read Huggins' book. He's got some really good ideas. He may
not know everything, but there are few things he's wrong about, I bet!
Be well,
