Ask your doctor to prescribe you something like lipitor, or maybe you could try eating garlic. I believe there is also a no-smell pill thats give the same benefits as garlic, I think its called garlique.

Lower Cholesterol Naturally Posted: 06-02-05 23:17pm


There are many natural alternatives/supplements that can help to lower cholesterol. Some of these are reportedly more effective in lowering cholesterol than prescription medications, without the dangerous side effects these include: guggul, policosanol, red yeast rice, pantethine etc. In addition there are at least another 30 natural supplements that can help to lower cholesterol. Hope that helps. All the best ramzi http://www.Lower -cholesterol-naturally-fast.Com

Aged Garlic to Lower Cholesterol! Posted: 10-03-05 03:06am


Did you know that one of the most important health benefits of garlic is lowering cholesterol!? Aged garlic is the extract of fresh, whole garlic aged in alcohol. It contains all of the natural goodness from whole fresh garlic, and if administered correctly, without the unpleasant aftertaste or odor! I have some pages that sell aged garlic: straussheartdrops garlicure try it!!! Back to top

Medical Treatment of Lesions Did Not Help! Posted: 01-23-06 12:13pm


I have the cholesterol deposits under both eyes as well - got them about 4 years ago - went to a plastic surgeon who diagnosed it - had my cholesterol checked and it was within normal limits....He burned them off - had a small scar which was easy to cover up -- looked great for about 1 year - but they came back with a vengence! I am under 50 - hate them! But - I was informed by family that my grandmother had them as well... According to my doctor - burning them off - lasering them off - or surgically cutting them out (which isn't really an option - there isn't enuff skin left to make the eye-cheek look normal) are the only options. They do not go away on their own. Since cholestrol limits are normal - it isn't a matter of cutting cholesterol either...They've made for some interesting comments and conversations... Most i'd almostly certainly love to live without! :\|

All Natural .... Lowered Cholesterol Posted: 02-06-06 23:02pm


I lowered my cholesterol by 50 points in six months. I am very against taking any drugs like lipitor for lower cholest. Especially since I am only 30. My holistic doctor recommended fresh barley grass, pi-mag water abd ciaga..All natural supplements made by this wellness compnay from japan. Sure enough, after taking these supplements and drinking the water from my new pi mag water filtration system my level went from 250 to 195 in 6 months...Simply amazing!

i also have these pockets. I do not have high colesterol though. I have one on each eye. It has been 7 years since i've had them. I'm having surgery on the 23rd to have them removed. I'm trying to find someone who has had the surgery to let me know about it.

I am 27 yrs old and I too got many cholesterol deposits around both my eyes, both upper and lower lids. I start getting it when I was 10 yrs old. At first I don't know what are those things.... Until my doctor told me they are cholesterol deposits and they can only be removed by laser or surgery. I thought they are acne or oil puffs caused by dirty or oily complexion. I got many of those ugly puffs around my eyes... .... Really ugly.... I want to get rid of them. Would it be costly to do the laser or surgery? Will it bring negative effect to eyes?

We represent mitamins, an on-line company supplying customized vitamin supplements to the usa , we hope this information may be of interest to you. Although it is by no means the only major risk factor, elevated serum (blood) cholesterol is clearly associated with a high risk of heart disease. Most doctors suggest cholesterol levels should stay under 200 mg/dl. As levels fall below 200, the risk of heart disease continues to decline. Many doctors consider cholesterol levels of no more than 180 to be optimal. A low cholesterol level, however, is not a guarantee of good heart health, as some people with low levels do suffer heart attacks. The approach of optimum cardiovascular health is an added focus on the correction of good and bad cholesterol levels. The following nutritional components may be beneficial. Policosanol has been shown to reduce ldls (bad cholesterol) and raise hdls (good cholesterol). Red yeast rice, guggul, garlic, pantothenic acid, and soy isoflavones all help to lower total cholesterol and raise hdls (good cholesterol). Coq10, ester c and vitamin e are a group of powerful antioxidants that prevent dangerous oxidation of cholesterol and also lower ldls (bad cholesterol). Dr. Balch works with mitamins to provide custom-made natural remedies for anyone who wants an all-in-one daily supplement that addresses all their health concerns, as well as providing the vitamins and minerals needed for optimum health and wellness. If you are concerned or unsure about your symptoms, please contact your healthcare provider for professional medical advice.

Cholesterol Treatment! Posted: 01-25-07 00:53am


General causes of high cholesterol are diabetes and hypothyroidism, and diet. Being overweight, smoking, not exercising, and eating a diet high in saturated fat and cholesterol can cause high ldl, low hdl, and increased triglycerides. By changing lifestyle and taking medicines one can treat the high cholesterol. Lifestyle change may include modifying your diet, quitting smoking, losing weight, and exercising.

cholestroldeposits on upper and lower eyelids Posted: 01-28-08 09:26am


Hi, I have had my cholestrol deposits on my eyelids for around for years. It is a waste of time having surgery - mine came back within 3months and were worse than ever. Laser treatment would be exactly the same. It is nothing to do with wether you have high cholestrol so don't even go there. Stick to alternatives and if you find one that works please do let me know.

Actually, there is strong evidence that high carb diets raise triglycerides and lower HDL.

RM Krauss has done some great work in this area. Google "Krauss carbohydrates" for studies. Pubmed.com is a great site to review research.
