Need to Lower Cholesterol for WorkPosted By GertJr (Madison) on 01/12/2021
I've been taking lecithin, niacin to flush, watching saturated fats, minimizing carbs and, not only that, I've been only eating ancient grains as what carbs I do eat. I eat skinless baked chicken or baked tilapia, don't add sugar to anything I eat, and exercise (lift weights 3X/wk, swim at least a mile 2X/wk). So, will mashing my finger like that cause the result to be higher? Is there anything I can do besides what I'm already doing?
BTW, I eat 2 eggs every morning, scrambled in a little vco. I'm doing everything healthy that I can! Or am I missing something?

I found the cure on earth clinic as well as remembering my doctor telling me years ago that celery juice alkalises the body.
Good luck.

I have seen 2 tablespoons of granules work very well in friends and then reduced to 1 tablespoon after that as a maintenance dose.

it sounds like you were dehydrated. I had a blood test, and they inserted the needle and nothing came out! "I thought, am I dead and don't know it?" the tech said, no your dehydrated. go to the cafateria and get water and drink. I drank 2 small bottles of water, and the blood test went fine, back to the cholesterol, for 30 years I took 2TBL of lecithin granules 3x a day (for psoriasis)and never had a cholesterol level higher than 180. Good luck.

No, I was not dehydrated. I was freezing. My hands were blue with the cold. The tech was wearing her coat, it was so cold in there.Art, thanks, I am taking lecithin, the Now gelatin ones. If I remember right, I got the sunflower kind, avoiding soy. so I'm taking niacin & lecithin and nordic naturals Omega ldl, exercising, not adding any sugar, super low carb and high protein, and midrange fats (vco, olive oil, and whatever fat is in my eggs---which are home grown). Any carbs I eat are ancient grains. I think conditions are why my numbers were high, find it unbelievable that I'm that high. I've been doing this since DH died in July, set myself up a routine and I'm very rigid in what I ingest. Guess I'll find out Feb 8 when I see my doc.

GertJr,I have not had luck with the softgels. Only the granules have worked for me at the dose I mentioned. There are no studies for other forms of lecithin such as sunflower lecithin, so I have used non GMO soy lecithin with very good results.

Eggs are a good source of cholesterol. Give those up for a while and see if that helps.
