A question for you doctor, I'm 72 years old and my HDL is 80 above the normal range, do I need to lower that and if so how? 🧓🇨🇦

Yes. Cholesterol shows up to repair damage/inflammation which means it’s actually the damage that needs to stop & not return. Calcified arteries harden & crack so cholesterol shows up to do the repairs. I like the analogy that the cholesterol are the firemen at the fire & the fire is the inflammation. You wouldn’t get rid of the firemen to stop the damage b/c they’re there to help & then you find out what’s causing the fires. Fish oil, K2 apparently softens the arteries & don’t forget Q10 for heart health. 💚❤️‍🩹💙

Yes.

So, how do you take care of the inflammation, then?

Low carbohydrate diet Keto/ carnivore❤❤❤​@@fool1shmortal

@@fool1shmortalHow? NO sugars of any kind, NO carbs of any kind, NO vegetables of any kind, NO seed/vegetable oils of any kind, NO processed foods of any kind. Only WHOLE foods: meat, animal fats, eggs….a carnivore food life plan. It saved my life, completely reversed my autoimmune issues, no blood pressure problems, dropped 50 pounds, and has eliminated ALL inflammation…and it has done the same for millions of others. It is NOT cholesterol that is the enemy (like big pharma and processed food manufacturers want you to believe)…it is all the above vile culprits that I listed. Do your research. CARNIVORE is saving and changing lives.

Red Yeast rice has a component exactly like Lovastatin, with the same side effects.

It can destroy your liver!

Lol - Drug mafai

Satin sheets are soft. Those are some weak muscles

The Pharmaceutical industry is a billion dollar industry and you must be sick so they make money. They do not care about your health but they want your money.

Its so true I drink 10 mg only All my body are so aches until cant move

Cardiologists are told to prescribe Statins, it’s all Pharmaceuticals

Your brain is 20% cholesterol, statins stop the production of cholesterol, = dementia

I don't think she's a real doctor.

A PROPER HUMAN DIET 🥩🐟🧈🥓🥚

Yes it is mine was 300 that’s wat the doctors said and keep tryna put me on drugs that casue cancer etc not taking none of them I told him I’ve been eating garlic & taking flax seed he said no proof has shown these natural things work but the drugs is suppose too ??!

Well said - spot on 👍💪

❤i agree

Agree. All cell membranes (walls) are built from cholesterol. All the sex hormones are made from cholesterol. It's a blood fat transport. I'd have suggested vitamin B3 high dose, for effective cholesterol control.

It doesn’t need the small particles that harden your arteries and cause blockages. You want 2 blood tests: liproprotein a, and APOB. Then google and learn about them and how to lower.

That’s what I read a few years ago

25% of our body's total CHOLESTEROL resides in the brain. Our brain relies on CHOLESTEROL for optimal function of it's neurotransmitters!🧠

True

Hdl is needed to repair the brain

No it’s not caused by lack of cholesterol.

Oh Yes it is...fact!. Beef, eggs, bacon and butter the new way. No sugar, flour/bread and seed oils/ deep fried. Forever!

You can never have lack of cholesterol

Yes to you and yes to the doctor. Both are true. There’s endogenous cholesterol and then there’s the cumulative effect of too much cholesterol synthesis from excessive dietary fat and sugars.

Caused by insulin resistance, high blood sugar and chronic inflammation!

True

Shhhh! Don’t say that as the food, medical industrial complex will try to cancel you!

spot on !

Some people just have too much. Not condoning pharmaceutical remedies. I believe there are natural remedies to keep it maintained to a healthy level.

I am very skeptical of MOST doctors these days.

I take 300mg with each meal. However, I had to buy several different brands before I found any that were yellow powder.

Please tell me, What brand do you take?

@@elizabethannhankinscampbel6700 truehealth Berberine. 300mg.Made in Uk.98% Berberine hydrochloride. Purchased off EBay. Unfortunately quite expensive

@@24bellers20which brand?

@@trenaphillips1973 true health berberine300mg. From eBay and it was someone in Glasgow UK selling them. They were the only ones I have tried that were a truly yellow powder. They were packaged in small envelopes containing 30 per envelope. Doubtless there will be many others with a true yellow colour but my first few purchases were white powder.

I take the flush kind of niacin. (Nicotinic acid) it works wonders for me. My cholesterol goes down including the triglycerides.

In the 1980s doctors didn't even bat an eye if it was under 300. They keep lowering the numbers for profits.

Glad it was helpful!

Yes! According to the NIH: "The brain contains the highest level of cholesterol in the body; it contains approximately 20% of whole body cholesterol [34]. Cholesterol in the brain is present mostly in the unesterified form, and the concentration of unesterified cholesterol in the brain is higher than that in any other tissues (~23 mg/g) [35]."

Yes we do need cholesterol. But an excess of cholesterol is not good and could induce heart attack or strokes

You're welcome

Mostly the ones on the carts here .are grossly obese

They will eventually destroy your liver.

Get in the sun to lower cholesterol!

I don't think she's a real doctor. And she's pushing statins 😂😂😂😂 What type of doctor does that.

I agree, people with so called unhealthy cholesterol levels live longer than so called healthy levels. Also 75% of first time heart attack victims had so called healthy cholesterol levels . Physicians push statins because they were not educated in medical school. They were schooled by the pharmaceutical industry.

@@narniadanshe is not pushing statins. Did you watch the video?

@@peacefulruler1 peacefulruler! I am an MD! I know who is an MD who is not from miles away. She's not a doctor but a scammer on KZfaq. As there are many on IG as well.

Loving carbs may be a sign that your gut is not working properly. Carb cravings are not normal. You may have insulin resistance. Try eating more fish and seafood in general. That worked for me. Good luck!

As a vegan the only thing I consider about carbs it that I consume complex carbs only and never use sugar or salt. Since I do a lot of exercise I have never had a problem with triglycerides or sugar/glucose levels.

Where?

The normal reading used to be 300. Then statins came along and they lowered normal to less than 200. Pharmaceutical companies have no $hame.

I was told stations decrease CoQ10.

Great job.

There are two sides to this argument. You should check out Dr. Ken Berry and other doctors on the carnivore diet. There are so many people testifying about losing a ton of weight, no more diabetes, good cholesterol, good blood pressure, and a host of other health problems clearing up on the carnivore diet. Are they all lying? C'mon now, don't you miss a juicy steak every once in a while?

I was vegetarian for 3 decades & became so sick. I ate healthily. Veg, fruit, salad, beans, seeds, nuts etc. There’s too much to go into, but after being exhausted & sick for years, I started bone broth, then went onto meat etc and slowly became better over time. I’m now no longer exhausted all the time, my hormones have improved, not anaemic & mineral deficient, my hair has started to come back etc. Nothing would make give up animal protein & broths now. I do hate the thought of eating animals, but I wouldn’t want to live if I had to go back to feeling the way I did. I could not function properly in life.

@@Lilione111 I would not kill an animal with my own hands and likely you would not either. No matter how we think we work our diets correctly, if we have deficiencies, we need to solve the problem with doing no harm as best we can. Hair loss is one of the side effects of women going through the menopause. It happened to me, everywhere except my head. So I am hairless except for eyelashes, eyebrows and the scalp of my head. Animal protein led to gouty arthritis, directly caused by the consumption of animal proteins. We as humans with our demand for meat, meat, and more meat, have cut down 80% of the Amazon Rainforest, in order to grow more beef cattle. I look around at my fellow Americans, and I am frequently the only one in the entire room, or stir or mall, who is neither obese or overweight. Why? If you eat fat, you store fat. However going all carnivore, I tried that before going vegan, constipated me horrifically, We are NOT designed to eat a lot of meat, if any. Our teeth, the ratio of the length of our backbone to the length of our intestines, says we are herbivores. I have buried all those in my nuclear family who ate meat: two died of dementia, two of breast cancer, one by suicide. If I want different results, I cannot eat what destroyed their health. I have to learn how to work my diet and exercises to be under my self-control. Consequently from their diets, whether they 3rd Ed up with cancer or Alzheimer’s, all had Type II Diabetes, high blood pressure, coronary and cerebral artery disease, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Pills, pills and more pills, and I do not have to buy medications. I take one, which is hormone replacement. ONE vs. 11 or more prescription daily. Meat gave me gout and it was in all my joints. Wheelchair bound with nearly mo use of my hands. Now my hands, back, hips, knees, ankles, back, shoulders do not hurt me. I can and do walk 5+ miles a day. And, I am not adding to the environmental disaster you seem to think is so great. We have 3 children and 5 grandchildren. None if 5hem have to give up their lives to care for me or my husband, who saw all the benefits I got from eating vegan, but had to have stage 4 cancer before he would even try my food. He eats mostly as I eat now. But women have more heath issues than men do. Even though he could stand to lose more weight, he’s off all meds too. He gas survived stage 4 cancer7 years. Yes, it is a Praise Jesus miracle, but it is the diet change. We grew up in group think, and 5hat you decided to move back to that camp, I am sorry for you. You did not leave any stone I turned. I will not make myself household part of an ecological disaster. It isn’t just me. Our kids and grandkids have to live in a world destroyed by personal excess and to be frank, gluttony. I do not miss the constipation.

What was your dosage of berberine and did it cause you any gastronomic discomfort?

@@GDixon-ch3yl I take 500mg twice a day. I started out taking 500mg 3 times a day but it gave me loose stools, so I cut back to twice a day and I don't have any problems.

Why do u want to lower HDL

So sorry I meant LDL. I started taking Berberine 500mg 3 times a day but it gave me loose stools/diarrhea. I cut back to 500mg 2 times a day and doing fine.

Don't get started on starins Once you start you can't really stop

@@godsamazinggrace5331 Amen 😌 God's Grace is surely AAAmazing 🙌🏼 Thank you so much for your time to respond to my comment. I don't plan on starting statins in fact my chiropractor said that's its really not something that I wanna do. After looking at my blood test results he said that I'm not bad at all that I can bring everything down naturally. And that is what I've been doing, with the help of our heavenly Father, the Lord & His Holy Spirit. God bless & thanks again 🙏🏼😌✡🙏🏼

That s absolutley not right...what you are texting..sorry...it s even dangerous. High cholesterol is one of the main reasons for haertattack and stroke....that s a state of the art.. even more than ever.

@@barbaratupay-welk12Depends on what type of LDL you have. Medical community is NOT what you think. Doctors today get very little nutrition education. DRUGS are pushed. More$$$$ in sick ppl than healthy. Research statins….has caused many deaths. Info big pharma loves to hide, just like recent meds….

Oh good grief. Of course drugs have nothing to do with health. It’s money honey and that’s it. You’ve got to be blind not to see that

I should thinks so. It's a plant extract that's available wherever you buy supplements or online.

Stop eating cholesterol

Get in the sun! The uvb rays mixes with the cholesterol in your body to make vitamin D supplements. This lowers your amount of cholesterol which affects how high your cholesterol is. Vitamin D supplements will not use up cholesterol. You need to be in the sun everyday!

Where do you get it and what is the brand?

Please tell us your brand you take

Exavtley Same to me!!!!

Are you taking it with a meal? If you are, you may want to use a lower dose until your body gets used to it

Please Ask your doctor about the supplements. They may interfere with your medications. Be careful
