My Hubby...Scary stuff, my heart goes out to you.<br />My Hubby's cholesterol was checked about a month ago and it was 300.<br />I've been meaning to post on it, but my emotions are to fresh right now. He used to be on medication for it, but it had caused some liver and kidney damage and he had to spend some time in the hosp. (Long story) We are currently trying to figure out what to do and looking forward to meeting a nutritionist and a herbalist to discus some more natural options. Hopefully safer options. <br />If you find any good info, please be sure to let me know. We are pretty desparate ourselves. You and your family will be in our prayers. <br />Many Blessings,<br />MollyMolly Betsy @ Star Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13861998890203926196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491954087258246123.post-53901645800906571862010-03-17T03:37:29.663+10:302010-03-17T03:37:29.663+10:30http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/niacin/CL00036

You know my poor dad was told to cut back on the colestrol, and he was so good at it that though there was only a slight difference to the reading, he was practically emaciated!!! The Dr. took one look at him and said, Forget it! I think with MOTHs family history maybe he shouldn't worry so much either.

They'd never have lasted as long as they did ;-) I would jokingly say to give him a good feed of Roquefort and wine as it doesn't look like the healthy stuff's working.

It looks as if MOTH's family have all suffered with this problem but still live to a good old age so, maybe it's fine although, one would want to keep looking for a solution.Mine was 6 and the statin's have worked for me but, now they are saying that the statins aren't good for your liver and you have to have that monitored so, you can't win.<br />There is, of course the 'Victoria's Secret Syndrome' that could be addressed !! perhaps watching that on a regular basis produces more of the stuff but, Mr Home is a devotee as you know of Victoria's Secret and his cholesterol is fine.!!!! <br />Sending hugs, kisses and love MOTH's way and here's hoping the doc has another solution. <br />Lots of love MOTH.
