High Triglycerides Posted: 10-14-06 20:14pm
I had high triglycerides after my by-pass
surgery and my cardio md didn' t want to
put me on statin drugs; but try diet and
exercise. Especially eliminate sweets and
refined carbs. I called a friend of mine,
a research chemist at e.I.Lily for his
help. He connected me with Dr.Zhu in
china, who told me what to do and he also
helped me bring my bp into normal range.
I have keep a log on this and will email
you with a copy if you want.
My address is redleave

Here's the thing most people do not know.
High cholesterol is not related to heart
disease. About 50% of people dying from
heart disease have "normal" levels of
cholesterol. What you need to be
concerned about are your homocysteine
levels. You can get some good info at http://www.Homocysteine.Net/.
But here's an analogy. Imagine your
cholesterol is actually a yellow balloon.
And let's say you take this balloon and
rub it on your head to create static
electricity. You may have done this as a
kid. Then you take the balloon and stick
it to the wall. Now imagine doing the
same thing with several balloons and
putting them around a door. Eventually
it would be hard getting through the door.
Same thing is happening inside your
arteries. Cholesterol cells are getting
charged up and sticking to the walls of
your arteries until it gets to the point
where it's difficult to get through.
And how does your cholesterol get
"charged"? It becomes oxidized. A
homocysteine test will check your level of
oxidized cholesterol. Odds are you've
never even heard of homocysteine. You
can ask your doctor about this test, but
he may not have heard about it either.
The main reason is because there is no
drug to lower homocysteine levels.
However, if you take an anti-oxidant, this
will cause the cells to loose their charge
and, like our balloon, will fall off the
wall.
I actually have a cd of a presentation
given by a doctor who talks about this
very thing. If you are interested in
getting a copy, i'd be happy to send it to
you at no charge. It's about 70min long
and the presentation covers several
aspects of supplementation with
anti-oxidants. Send me an email with
your address and i'll get it out to you.
You'll learn some very interesting things.

Brilliant post, Huffster. And just the
kind of stuff that needs to be publicized
on forums such as this.
I will pm you for a copy of the
presentation. It's in line with alot of
the stuff I've read recently by people
like Ravnskov and Enig.
By the way, my husband was "diagnosed"
with slightly high homocysteine and the
doctor told him to take folic acid to
bring it down. This is something that
every woman of childbearing age takes to
minimize the risks of birth defects. FYI.
