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? 🧓🇨🇦

[@sylhomeo6351]

It’s not cholesterol you want to lower, but inflammation. Cholesterol is there for a good reason and the body, in its infinite wisdom knows what it’s doing.

[@jjjpetersen]

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. 💚❤️‍🩹💙

[@johnanon658]

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.

[@courag1]

If we eat animals we gain the cholesterol they made for their bodily functions, but our liver keeps on making our own. Now our levels will go up. Plant proteins do not add to this problem, and some have lots of soluble fiber which can soak up excess cholesterol and then this goes out with BMs, and the re-uptake ceases. But the problem does not go away if meat, fish, poultry, seafood and dairy is continued. Super high consumption of animal protein comes with also with fats and with the cholesterol, can line the arteries, making high blood pressure and can lead to heart attack. Plants have enough proteins, but Americans have a love affair with animal protein and cheese consumption is at an all time high as well as obesity and those who are over weight, now comprise 80% of the population. Vegans have a lower incidence of being overweight. I lost 80 lbs. eating this way, it also normalized my cholesterol and blood pressure. I walk on average 5 miles a day. I am 71 years old and do not take prescription drugs as even my A1C is normal: 4.8. I was diagnosed as Pre-Diabetic at age 60. I am active, can hike, bicycle, play with our grandchildren.

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.

@@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.

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

body needs cholesterol to transport hormone

[@ninavongunten122]

If a person is not going to any prescribed statins for high cholesterol, what do you exactly recommend that is completely safe and without annoying side effects?

[@cindyspencer6022]

Stop eating cholesterol

[@johnsonfamilyhomeschool675]

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!

Funny reading your history mine is exactly the same

[@chirho777]

Thanks again Dr. Dazer. I've been eating steel cut oats daily pretty much daily along with chia seeds about once every three days. I was hoping that this would decrease my cholesterol. I pray that this has at least been a positive effect. After watching your video I think for me bergamot is best for me. Would you say that bergamot plus phytosterol supplement in combination would be ok to take together? Thank you kindly in hopes that you will respond. Thumbs up 👍🏽 on your like video. P.S. I have been drinking dandelion tea daily for liver blood test result's which my chiro said I can treat naturally plus I've been taking giloy powder added to the dandelion tea. Lastly I am getting to do a detox at some point in the near future prayerfully. 🙏🏽

Beware of detoxification adverse effects

[@chirho777]

Thank you kindly. I hadn't read about any adverse detoxification effects so hopefully I can find some info about that. I'm currently not eating steel cuts daily as I had been nor have I experienced any adverse reactions since. Still eating steel cut oats with chia seeds along with mixed organic berries but not daily anymore. If it's not too much trouble, I would certainly appreciate a link or site? that you can send me. I would certainly appreciate it. Thank you for your time and God bless. Btw I used to play as a Christian musician and have been in music for quite some time and so I know that you go by ameegrant however the name Amy Grant takes me back a little ways. God bless and thanks again!

Hi. Very informative I have tried red yeast rice but had NO success . I am now trying bergamot

[@vickieyoung7122]

Bergamot didn't make any difference for me

[@Harry00020]

Red yeast rice has to be from a good brand. I found Thorne red yeast rice works, 4 capsules a day.,split. However, it will not work properly if there is a thyroid problem

[@user-jh6oc5qu8i]

Where do you get it?

[@runt3515]

[@geraldinemcardle2418]

[@antoniofarinaccio541]

[@Spark-Hole]

[@pepper419]

All that and we have to wait for another one?

[@patriciawilliams6332]

I did Red yeast rice never do anything for me

[@carolewenman4558]

Why would Berberine have poison or nothing in the capsules.

[@AnzalnaSatar]

Just using natural foods to balance the systems

[@sophieoliphant8817]

No more medication for me. Intermittent fasting and a simple , clean and nutritious diet is all i need. We had it so wrong where food was concerned. Eat to live !

[@sph798]

Tried Berberine but it gave me lots of somach ache so I could not take it for more than 2 days.

[@barbaratupay-welk12]

Exavtley Same to me!!!!

[@MyMusiclover28]

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
