I have had high cholesterol for at least 20 years. My doctors had me on
medications which I quit taking over 2 years ago.

I had my cholesterol checked last week. It went from 325 2 years ago, to
221 today!!! My triglycerides also are down to 89 (they were almost 200)

I am so excited!!!

Becky, I am excited for you.

I, too, quit taking the cholesterol medication and had a drop from 250 to
200. Will have another test in about 6 months and look forward to being much lower.

Thanks for sharing the good news. Other than change in diet are you doing anything else. I began exercising more as well as diet change. I also took Fish Oil. When I began RAW I stopped the fish oil. It was making my blood pressure too low. That was before RAW. It works! Let's keep it up!

I really can't put my finger on ONE thing I have done.

Exercised
Eat alot of fruit, and fruit smoothies
Added Tocophrenol to my smoothies

No supplements. Just real food!!

That is great to hear. My cholesterol is 363 and I fought it for some time with medication. Quit that. Didn't resonate well with me. I have been raw for a little over a month and have high hopes that this will help. I have tried everything else

:pMy total cholesterol was 115 after two months 100% raw (no sugar, no salt, not oils, nuts, avocado). It has to be below 120 to reverse heart disease!
