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:)

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!

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

Cholesterol
My 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!
