Lea Ann while you are in Cleveland you should take a trip across town to one of the top hospitals in the world, the Cleveland Clinic and discuss some of your health issues.  I feel they saved my life with my cancer treatments.

Hello Tom,I used their "search this site" bar, but they didn't have any information on "mercury toxicity". Most allopathic doctors (and hospitals) don't recognize or treat mercury toxicity. Naturopaths (holistic healers) do though :-)

Hello Velda,To supplement what she writes about in her book, I use Google :-) The PDF listed below is very good information and is more current. It goes along with what Dr. Enig says…A lot of her book describes (and illustrates) the chemical structures of the various fatty acids, at least the chemistry hasn't changed :-)

Lea Ann,I am curious why the blood cholesterol levels affect being able to do sauna therapy?  I also have blood cholesterol that is too low which my doctor says is part of why my body has trouble making the hormones it needs and I have been using good fats for a while now to build my body up with what it needs.

Lea Ann,I am curious why the blood cholesterol levels affect being able to do sauna therapy? I also have blood cholesterol that is too low which my doctor says is part of why my body has trouble making the hormones it needs and I have been using good fats for a while now to build my body up with what it needs.

Hello ,I think that Dennis meant Health Food stores (as opposed to grocery stores). But I think the main point he was making is to look for cold pressed - the idea being that the oil wasn't heated while they were extracting it.

I highly recommend the book that Dennis recommended, as well as the book "Know Your Fats" by G. Enig, Ph.DLook at the reviews for, "Know Your Fats" on Amazon.com:

http://www.amazon.com/Know-Your-Fats-Understanding-Cholesterol/dp/0967812607I came to understand the importance of saturated fats in my diet when my naturopath would not "release me" to do sauna detoxification therapy (I am mercury poisoned and sauna therapy is good for this) because my blood cholesterol levels were too low.

I find that understanding fats is much more complicated (for a layperson) than understanding the basics of proteins or carbohydrates.Here is an excellent PDF that is somewhat technical, but also written so that a layperson can understand:

Library.

I am fortunate enough to live in a 240sf dwelling with 2 dogs and a lot

of embroidery gear and supplies. Books are borrowed or ebooks.

Happy to share with you if your levels are too low...my total cholesterol after

taking a month off statins is 506, so back on Liptor I go. However, if we split

it...

I go back/forth on oil/no oil. For the heart, many are leaning toward no oil at

all. Dementia which runs in the other side of the family says add coconut

oils/etc. It's a dilemma.
