I’m 18 years old- 5’2" 111 pounds. I have a low salt diet already due to an inner ear disorder- I don’t eat a lot of fatty foods or anything of that nature and in our family, you have high cholesterol if you are overweight. What the hell is up with this? I’m sitting here crying right now I’m tiny and I eat healthy. Please help.
I eat mostly organic.
I don’t drink or smoke or do anything bad to my body.
Oh and I refuse to take meds for it.

Why would my stupid doctor say I have high cholesterol?
Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010I dont want to go on cholesterol meds. If I stop eating for a week will my triglycerides go down?
Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010I went to the doctor and he told me if my lipid panel did not improve he was going to consider putting me on cholesterol lowering drugs. I know from past experience these meds are hard on the liver. I would rather go the natural route which he suggested fish oil tablets every day. If I stop eating this weekend, will my triglycerides go down before my next blood draw? I been cheating on my diet really bad and need to get my cholesterol down.
I just want to get it down so when they draw my lipid panel, he doesnt slap me on cholesterol lowering drugs because it is high. I have been a slacker and not really following a low fat diet.
Yeah, I could lose about 50 lbs now. I just dropped 20 and cheated over the easter weekend and have not been back on my diet plan for about a week. I am 5’10 tall and am very volumptuous. I have big nockers and I am very curvy. A diet would do me great things.
He has been my cardiologist for 25 yrs. He keeps telling me to eat like a rabbit, but I saw him eating in the cafeteria and he was eating a cheeseburger.
He knows me inside out. My heart is mis wired and now I have a couple of electrical shorts put in (ablation)

How do you naturally lower cholesterol?
Monday, August 2nd, 2010My mother in law needs to lower her cholesterol, she’s 59, and afraid to take the prescription drugs because of side effects.
Are there any specific foods she could or should eat?
She’s already stopped eating cheese and fatty meats, but is there any other foods really high in cholesterol that isn’t widely known that she she also avoid?
Some one mentioned flaxseed oil, does that really work?
