The body deals with toxins in a very ordered fashion and one of the steps is the raising blood lipids (HDL, LDL and VLDL cholesterol and tryglycerides.), which are temporary while you are detoxifying. < My next question is, I have been seeing a Naturopath to > get my adrenals under control and to get my blood sugar down.

It works pretty well at > this point. ==>Fibres are actually quote damaging to the body - see these articles: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu3_2.php ==>If you change your diet by gradually decreasing carbs and follow the protein, fat and carbs ratios recommended you will not have elimination problems. In fact your digestive system will become much healthier because the high good saturated fats strengthen and heal the intestines. ==>To help your adrenals see th3 1st two articles here: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu4_7_1.php ==>This diet plus supplements will do a good job of keeping your blood sugar levelled off.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Hi , Yes, I had VERY HIGH TRIGLYCERIDES ( 1040) for years untill I was diagnosed with low thyroid function. Taking thyroid hormone replacement brought them down to about 240. Thats a huge drop. (My cholesterol also came down from 215 to 165.) Its a well established medical fact about the relationship between triglycerides, cholesterol, and thyroid hormone deficiency. I don't know if testosterone has an impact on triglycerides, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did cause I read that testosterone increases metabolism. If thats true, then an increase in metabolic rate would logically burn off triglycerides. Maybe THIS is why I can't get my triglycerides all the way down to normal range despite my perfect thyroid numbers. Woolf <fkw1122@...> wrote: Hello Group, Anyone else suffer from high triglycerides?

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 About a year ago, my blood work came back with Triglycerides of over 600. I think the top of the " normal " range was 199. My internist suggested two alternative: an Rx for this which would lower triglycerides and cholesterol or a prescription for an ALL NATURAL Omega 3 called Omicor. This is just prescription grade Omega 3 - no drugs - in a high controlled dose. After 6 months my tests came back at about 290 and now after a year I am in the high normal range for troglycerides and cholesterol. I do not have low test per the " clinical norms " but I just had full blood work done (at my own expense because I could not get my internist or uroligist on board) and all test levels were about 50 % of the high end of the normal range for my age, which I suspect,while clinically normal, is low for me. I also had a thyroid result (tsh) of barely working but still in the " normal " range, and my Dr never addressed this . Unfortunatley, I didn't see this until after the Dr's appointment so I didn't address it with him, but I will. For reference, I am 56 yrs old and I am not on any hormone therapy. Hope this is helpful. Mike Triglycerides > Hello Group, > > Anyone else suffer from high triglycerides?

Look at the sugar content o all your foods, and avoid white bread and flour that just quickly converts to sugar. I started doing this and dropped about 15 pounds in three weeks with no limit on what I ate. My triglycerides dropped by half too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 When ever I am losing weight my levels go up don't remember how high but my Dr. would tell me this is because I lost 20 lbs last 8 weeks.
