Hello Mike:) Well, it's a lot better than talking politics...which I am doing with a lovely lady on another list. I must stop or I will turn a good friend into and enemy...LOL. Cholestrol / Triglyceride levels....much safer. Also, all this info helps me in my search to re balance my body and I am very grateful to all who share their knowledge so graciously here...thanks to you and everyone here. Thanks also for the website...I am in a reading mode...think I will mosey over to Amazon after I check out Dr. Huggins website...see what I can find. V.

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! > Do you have the name of any literature by Dr. Huggins that you have > read? I am very interested in this. 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. > I am more concerned about my tryglyceride levels...and the docs never > mention that. 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. I wrote: > I've also heard that too low a cholesterol level is dangerous.

He says 220 is better. I'll be getting there. 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!
