    I had a “mini stroke” about a month ago. MRI came back ok (layman here looking up and researching what the report says) and carotid arteries are fine. I have had high cholesterol all of my 74 years. I took Lipitor for a while and quit taking it because I felt horrible. Both of my parents had very high cholesterol and my Mom’s carotid arteries were 95% blocked on both sides. She was almost 95 when she passed and my Dad was 93. I have to go see my doctor this Thursday and I KNOW she will be lecturing me about taking statins. I’ve told her no since I first started seeing her and will do the same until I leave this earth! I may need to change doctors because I’m not buying the big pharma thing anymore! I’m watching some of your past videos and am learning so much! Thank you for all you do!❤️

    A senior friend of mine had a bad experience with lipitor, after taking it for 6 months, he started having serious brain fog and thought he was getting dementia. He stopped taking the lipitor, and slowly over a year he finally got rid of the brain fog and it turns out, he doesn’t have dementia after all.

      Medium chain triglycerides (MCT) will help tremendously with brain fog. Cognitive issues. It comes from coconut oil. My son is a traumatic brain injury patient.

    Hi Heidi. I know you know this, but a few of our community may not. When using natural supplements, please remember there will not be instant results. The natural ingredients tend to work with your body. They may take longer to work for some people. It may be days or months to really see results. In this day & age, people sometimes expect instant results. Sometimes it is better if results are improved over a span of time. This allows your individual body to work with a supplement. Plus the results will be longer lasting. Stay safe. Keep prepping. God bless.

      Right and thank you for bringing that up. Same applies to assuming just taking an herb or supplement will cure a disease when there is much more to it than that. I think this mentality comes from big pharma medicine where there is always "a pill for that"

    I was an RN until I had the sense to retire I researched cholesterol years ago and my conclusion was that the entire cholesterol story was a big scam by the pharmaceutical industry. Statins, beta blockers and few other meds are what I called ‘just in case’ meds. In fact one drug I worked out that only 2 in 100 people might benefit, the rest took it for nothing. Go back to the 80s and see how that coincided with HRT and the amount of hysterectomies performed. The allopathic medical industry for the most part is not your friend. Yes if you get knocked down by a bus then it’s great, but for long term conditions, many of which are lifestyle induced, they are useless and often downright dangerous.

These evil people wants t force things on you, and I just refuse to listen my ldl is 2.88 my hdl is 2.44 my dr thinks I should take lipitor, she has been so persistent about it I took the prescription, but never filled it. I took my blood work to another dr, she told me noting was wrong with my cholesterol.
      I took my papers to a naturopathic dr. Who told me every thing was good. Except, he wanted me toget my Alc below 6. It was 6.2, so every thing is going good when I get up in the mornings, my sugar is 3.9 to 5.2 so I know I am on the right track .don't for one minute that thes drs, know much more than you. Many of the bright minds quit school early and have been very successful. So use your own judgment.

      Exactly. Aspirin originally came from white willow bark but the active ingredient has since been synthesized. Same goes for many more like hydroxychloroquine that uses a synthesized version of quinine rather than getting it straight from the Cinchona - I just uploaded a video on that very topic but it will not publish until early January

    Thank you, Heidi, for more helpful information!! I remember growing up and my grandmother had high cholesterol and she was on meds, they told her not to eat butter, so switched to margarine, Crisco, vegetable oils and her cholesterol was still high. When I started going to school for nursing, I believed what they spouted. Well, I started looking into health and a little herbalism, and was telling my grandma not to eat these things; but she trusted her doctor; so, she still ate those things. The problem that was going on with her was heat issues as well. Grandma never got off the lipitor and still had high cholesterol. My mom as well is on cholesterol meds too! but she smokes, eat not good, and again they trust what the doctors feed them. I am not on any cholesterol meds, and I will not go on them. Heidi, like you I will try it with healthy things first, by eating good things and herbs, vitamins; before taking things that will cause other things. Thank you, Heidi, for another good informational video.

Every time she checks my cholesterol, and BP she is scarring me . I started to be frightened. Apparently my triglycerides is high . So, I surrender. 3 day's so far . But doubt is there already. I am a smoker. That's bad I know I never liked processed foods and bad saturated oils. What's your opinion on Rosuvastin ?

  • @Neekazan
    @Neekazan 2 года назад +180

    What's funny is I was told I was borderline high cholesterol, and was told to lower it, so I looked up the best foods to lower cholesterol and to raise the HDL & lower LDL. Ironically, eating the whole egg (minus the shell, of course) was a one food that lowered the raised HDL and lowered LDL. Yet the pamphlet the doctor office gave me said to do egg whites only. Always do your own research and follow with an educated decision. The decision is yours, not the doctors'. I followed my own diet that I found online, and when I went back to the doctor 6 weeks later the doctor was pleased with the results, then I told him what all my diet was, and he laughed and he said nodded saying that the pamphlet needed to be updated.

    Never smoked and don't drink. I walk 3 miles about 5 days a week, take fish oil, eat pretty healthy, alot of veggies, garlic, chicken, and tuna. My Lipoprotein (a) is high. I watch my saturated fats, because stokes run in our family. With doing all the changes I have made to be healthier my bad cholesterol is still high. I feel I might need something to help my LDL.

    I've found when it comes to certain blood tests it's what you've been eating in the days or weeks before the test.
    Case in point, I had tests for cholesterol, mine have always been great then one time it came back elevated, I asked if the pepperoni I'd been eating for the week before could mess up the test. Doctor said it might.
    I went back to eating my normal diet, skipping pepperoni and fat.
    The next month the doctor did another test and mine came back completely fine again.

    You made me smile when you talked about eating okra before it got to the slime.
    My sister always hated okra because she said it's too slimy.
    I myself love okra especially if it's breaded and fried.
    I had just made myself some when my sister stopped by to visit, she walked in helping herself to some of my okra, telling how good it was.
    I asked her when she decided to eat okra, she grimaced and shivered telling me she never touches the stuff.
    That's when I burst out laughing telling her what she was busily munching on.
    Now she makes her own.
    For me I rarely give up on eating something until I've tried it different ways for the exact reason my sister discovered she didn't mind it one way but despised it another, sometimes it's all in the prepping that can make something either good or terrible

    There are 2 things I would add to your list:
    1) instead of fish oil I recommend a blend of flax and chia seed. You can find some really good cold milled blends. Flax seed tends to have higher omegas than the oil.
    2) black seed is really good for balancing cholesterol levels. You can take the seed whole, or use it as black seed oil.

It adds a certain sweetness and flavor that seems to take it over the top.

She told me to look for red yeast rice for her as I was perusing. I asked her what that was for and she said her doctor had recommended it versus taking a prescription medicine. It was either for heart, cholesterol, or blood pressure. I honestly can't remember which but it sounded good so I bought some. It's validating to hear you mention it.

I heard Sam's club does them but then they had to suspend it during the pandemic so I've been meaning to try and remember to ask them if they are doing them again yet. I've changed my eating habits a lot since the last time it was checked so I'm curious where it stands at this time. I stopped taking the cholesterol medicine a few months ago to see how I would do without it. I can't tell any difference with or without it. That's why I'd like to get a test done to see what the numbers are.

    Excellent information. I need to do more to help my cholesterol tests come out better. My doctor (yes! a genuine MD) started me on red yeast rice in a capsule. He had researched which brands are best and I get great blood test results with it (Douglas laboratories Beni Koji RYR). Since the lockdown last year, he had a hard time getting it in so he gave up having it but oddly enough my chiropractor is able to get it so I order it through him. It's not cheap but I will not take statins; I saw how my dad suffered with it. (yeah, my doc tried to talk me into it after the ordering problem but I said no.)
    I have another doctor for another health problem and she thinks the whole cholesterol thing is not right. In fact, the clinic she works in has a book explaining why the cholesterol thing is not really a worry. I cannot remember the name of the book which they have for sale there. **head smack** The doctors in this clinic prefer the natural means to health over pharmaceutical measures. They have nutritionist and acupuncture along with classes and seminars to help their patients.
