A few weeks back there was a thread about cholesterol, and I promised I would share the results of my husbands trial of lowering his cholesterol without the use of RX drugs.

6 Weeks ago, his total cholesterol was 261

LDL 174

Triglycerides were 210

They were checked yesterday and his total is down to 228

his LDL is 161, but his triglycerides went down to 136, WOW!!

He took Red Rice Yeast and non-flushing niacin... can't exactly tell you which one works as there is currently a debate on whether Red rice yeast actually works now or not... and of course he watched his diet. Handful of almonds everyday...

Hope this helps any of you who are fighting cholesterol and resistant to the drugs like him. His doctor told him she didn't care if he was taking the medicine or not, it was working and to keep doing it.

Happy day!! :D

That is excellent! Those drugs are worse than useless, anyway, they cause heart attacks and strokes. The triglycerides are really the one and only thing to be concerned about, and those really dropped!

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
