Guest guest Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I have a history of low cholesterol - I think my boys registered low a time or two, and my mother has quite low cholesterol despite being obese. It has run in the family. My husband's cholesterol is high, on the same diet as myself, so I don't think it has much to do with what I do or don't eat. I believe I remember Dr G commenting that it's just another one of those markers that can normalize as the body gets healthier. I remember reading some things about cholesterol in metabolic processes, because I was interested at one time about whether or not eating more cholesterol would be helpful in bringing my ASO titers down, although I cannot remember the details, and I was warned by him not to believe everything I read.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I saw the same article and my sons is only 112. I have always wondered if he has had enough fat / cholesterol for the sheath mylenation for brain function. Our very knowledgable dietician said this is way too low and even is for an adult. And considering the classic advice from pediatritians that say to start a low fat diet at age 2- what we were told, even though I did not follow all of this. We have a family history of low cholesterol as well. She said there is new research out that very low chol is associated with increased cancer and other diseases as well/ There is a need for it with immune system function. My son is on a higher cholestol diet, allowed to eat chicken skin, raw butter. He has in the past eaten butter from the dish on his own frequently at times. I am sure this was a natural body craving that he needed more fats. Thanks for passing the info about what Dr. Goldberg said about it corretcting along with the rest of the body and immune system. I did not really think of this in reverse. In the meantime, we will keep helping him out with it for now. Angie From: Trina <boydad4@...> Subject: low cholesterol?

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I take raw egg yolks from free range hens, blend them with a touch of raw honey or stevia a splash of fresh oj and call it his juice - high in both cholesterol and biotin...if there are no egg allergies try this...no worries of salmonella, if you get a bed egg you will KNOW - the yolk looks wrong, sometimes black even, and the SMELL...if you are really paranoid and egg with any bacteria in it will float, good eggs sink to the bottom.
