cholesterol concern

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee,

I began your program several months ago. My cholesterol has

historically been in the range of 150-200. I gave blood last week and

my reading was 329...a major jump! I am concerned and wonder if this is

to be expected given the higher levels of saturated fat consumption. I

have been sucessful on the program so far and don't want to give it up

but, again, I'm concerned. Your thoughts???

Thanks...Jordan

+++Hi Jordan. It is natural for cholesterol readings to increase while

the body is detoxifying. This is according to Medical Texts, so

doctors should be familiar with it, however most doctors

selectively " forget " that fact when it comes to cholesterol.

Even if you consumed not one drop of fat your body would still produce

the cholesterol it requires in order to protect and strengthen all of

the cells in the body. Every single cell requires saturated fat in

order for them to be healthy; most cell membranes must be constructed

out of 50% saturated fat, while lung cells require 100%. If cell

membranes aren't constructed properly they are weak, allowing more

toxins in, and make the cells less able to get rid of toxins and their

own waste. And weak cell membranes require more cholesterol in order

to give them strength and integrity.

The fact is that heart disease rarely existed prior to the

industrialization of our food supply, which gave us nutrient-devoid

foods like white flour, white rice, foods high in carbs, sugars, high

phosphorus in pop and soda, damaging man-made oils and fats, along with

numerous toxins in foods and drinks.

High cholesterol readings are not an indicator of heart disease nor any

other physical problem or future problem - here's the true cause of

heart disease: http://www.westonaprice.org/moderndiseases/hd.html

After your body has detoxified enough your cholesterol readings will

lower.
