High Cholesterol

Treating High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a normally occurring body substance, which is needed in the manufacture of many substances essential to health. Cholesterol in its natural state is not only harmless, but beneficial.

When LDL cholesterol is damaged by an unbalanced molecule called a free radical and changed in appearance (Oxidized LDL) it becomes a factor in the development of atherosclerosis leading to heart attack or stroke. Since HDL cholesterol protects LDL cholesterol from damage a low LDL/HDL ratio (less than 3.5 - preferably less than 3.1) is desirable.



Total Cholesterol (LDL and HDL)**

Desirable Less than 200 mg/dL

Borderline High 200-239 mg/dL

High 240 mg/dL or greater

LDL

Optimal Less than 100 mg/dL

Above Optimal 100-129 mg/dL

High 160-189 mg/dL

Very High 190 mg/dL or greater

HDL

Desirable 35 mg/dL or greater

Undesirable Less than 35 mg/dL


Ratio of Total Cholesterol to HDL

Desirable Less than 3.0

Undesirable 3.0 or greater

** These levels should be even lower if you have heart disease

CLEARING UP THE High CHOLESTEROL CONFUSION!

FACTS:

• 50% of All Heart Attack Victims Had Perfectly “Normal’ LDL Cholesterol Levels. LDL Cholesterol is Not a Good Indicator of Your Potential for Heart Disease.

• LDL Cholesterol is NOT Harmful! In Fact it is Required by Your Body for Many Important Health Functions EVERYDAY. Find out what is harmful, learn how to really “read” your lab reports.

• Lower Your Total Cholesterol Levels to <175, and You Significantly Increase Your Risk of Developing Cancers, Diabetes, Depression and Emotional Problems!

• Lowering Your LDL Cholesterol and Not Raising Your HDL Cholesterol Does NOT Provide Any Significant Health Benefits! (In Spite of What the Commercials on Television Imply.)

• ONLY 40% of All Heart Attack Victims Will Survive Their First Heart Attack! If You Do Survive, There is an 80% Likelihood of You Having Another Heart Attack in the Near Future.

All Natural Cardio-Cosanol™ Can Raise Your HDL and Do Wonders to Bring Your Cholesterol Ratios to Healthy Balance Once Again! The Best Way to Prevent Heart Disease.


Thanks to the barrage of propaganda promoting these statin drugs, there is considerable confusion being generated. This special report is designed to help you make sense of it all and understand what you can do to prevent heart attacks, heart disease and strokes. You can learn how an all natural substance called “Policosanol” can lower the bad cholesterol levels, raise the good ones, help get the total ratios in a healthy balance, provide protective benefits and even outperform the statin drugs.1 All with no side effects!

Heart Attacks are #1

After 50 years of medical research and treatment, heart disease in the United States still results in more deaths each year than from all other sources combined, including accidents and cancer!

Worse yet is the fact that according to the U.S. Government Center for Disease Control and Prevention, half of all those who have a heart attack will die before they ever reach the hospitable. In fact, among women, those who have a heart attack have a death rate higher than that of men. In addition, death from Coronary Artery Disease is the leading cause of death in women. 2

The Cholesterol Problem- It’s Not What You Think It is!

Many people now believe that the lower their level of cholesterol the better. This is simply not true. In fact if your total cholesterol levels drop below 175, you increase your likelihood of developing cancers, depression, suicide, accidents and many other emotional disorders . The lower you go, the higher your risk. Keeping those total cholesterol levels in the right ratio and in the right range is the key to a long and healthy life. Recent research is showing that the ideal range to achieve maximum health benefits is between 175 and 225. However, if you have good HDL Cholesterol levels, 50 to 60 or even better, even with a low or high LDL Cholesterol level, the protective benefits of the high HDL will far outweigh the risks of the LDL levels. Policosanol is one of the few natural substances that actually allows you to raise your HDL levels which is really important if you want to prevent heart disease.

Healthy Benefits of Cholesterol

LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) and HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) are manufactured by your liver every day. They are absolutely essential to your good health. That’s right, you need both of them to live a healthy life.

  • LDL cholesterol is used by your body to transport important fatty acids to your cells, which is a major source of energy for you. That’s because your cells in turn burn these fatty acids to generate energy for you.

  • LDL cholesterol is also used to transport these important fatty acids to your heart -which is fully 80% of its source of energy. Do you think that is important? When these statin drugs are used to lower LDL cholesterol, they also cause a decline in the ability of your heart mitochondria to manufacture ATP fuel for your heart muscle cells, making it weaker and weaker. That reduces your hearts ability to create enough energy to contract fully. This leads to congestive heart failure which ultimately leads to death.

  • LDL cholesterol is also the raw material that your body uses to manufacture many important hormones that you need daily. If you want to enjoy good health you need adequate levels of LDL and HDL Cholesterol.

Once your liver manufactures LDL cholesterol, it releases it via your blood stream to circulate throughout your body where each organ and gland can take what it needs to keep you healthy. Naturally there will be some LDL cholesterol left over circulating in your blood stream and your body knows the importance of LDL cholesterol so it tries to get the excess back where it can be stored in your liver for future needs.

This is where HDL cholesterol comes into action. It is the job of your HDL cholesterol to find whatever excess LDL is still circulating in your blood stream and bring it back to the liver where it can be stored and released later as needed.

HDL cholesterol provides many protective benefits and you want to increase the level of HDL as much as possible. The statin drugs will generally lower your LDL cholesterol, but they will not raise your protective and beneficial HDL cholesterol. Policosanol on the other hand will lower LDL while raising HDL levels at the same time.3 Truly the best of both worlds.

LDL Cholesterol Makes For a Lousy Indicator of Potential Heart Disease

LDL cholesterol is very important for your good health. LDL cholesterol DOES NOT CAUSE HEART DISEASE.

Are you ready for this? The amazing fact is, that almost half of all the people who have a heart attack have normal blood pressure, normal cholesterol, normal blood sugar and normal triglycerides! In other words, according to the experts, there is nothing wrong with them. There is no reason for them to have a heart attack! So how do you know if you are truly at risk of having a heart attack? What are the best indicators to watch for signs of heart disease trouble developing?

LDL Cholesterol Does Not Cause Heart Disease

Excess LDL cholesterol circulating in your blood stream does not cause heart disease. Elevated LDL Cholesterol levels are only dangerous if they become oxidized in which case they become VLDL (Very Low Density Lipoprotein). This process of oxidation is very similar to free radical damage that is being done to your cells.

In a study of a group of older men and women (average age 100 years old) researchers found a very interesting link between good cognitive/ mental function and high cholesterol. 6

Those participants who had high HDL cholesterol levels, had the best cognitive function. Keeping your HDL Cholesterol levels as high as possible not only protects you from heart disease, it can also keep your mind and mental process sharp especially as you age.

As the LDL cholesterol circulates freely throughout your blood stream, oxygen molecules also known as free radicals can attach themselves to the LDL molecules, and you end up with oxidized LDL cholesterol or VLDL, a very dangerous component of heart disease. VLDL is also the stuff that plaque is made of in addition to triglycerides.

“Almost half of all the people who have a heart attack have normal blood pressure, normal cho-lesterol, normal blood sugar and normal trig-lycerides!

In other words, according to the experts, there is nothing wrong with them.”

The idea behind the statin drugs is that if you lower your LDL cholesterol levels, then there will be less that can possibly oxidize and become VLDL cholesterol. Wouldn’t it be much better for you to lower excess LDL levels with high HDL levels, before it can become oxidized and cause trouble? Of course it would and that is exactly what Policosanol does while it also provides protection for your arteries and can even help lower high blood pressure.4

You need to protect your beneficial LDL cholesterol from free radical damage (oxidation) so in turn you can protect yourself from heart disease, heart attacks and strokes. Policosanol has been proven to one of the most effective protectors of your LDL Cholesterol from oxidation- naturally! 5 Think of Policosanol as a “super antioxidant” for your LDL cholesterol !

Expert Dietary Advice is Not Only Confusing, It’s Wrong!

If you have been confused by all the conflicting claims of what to do, and what not to do, to prevent heart disease, don’t feel that you are alone. Even doctors and medical researchers have been confused. First the medical experts told you not to eat eggs, then a few years later they told you it was alright to eat an egg-once in awhile, and now they say you can eat all the eggs you want. Then they told you that consuming alcohol causes heart disease, later you were told that consuming some red wine was actually good for your heart.

You were also told that eating fish is good for you, and eating red meat is not only bad for you, it is supposed to be a total disaster. Some fibers are good for you but others are not. Consuming butter, cheese, or whole milk is also supposed to be bad for your heart. Drinking green tea is okay, but coffee will do your heart in. All of this advice from our medical experts over the years and time has proven it all wrong.

The Right Diet

Eating the right kind of diet is much easier than you might think. Try to eat foods as nature created them. Humans need a wide variety of foods everyday to satisfy our many nutritional needs so eat a wide variety of foods as found in nature.

Avoiding the foods that quickly turn into glucose in the blood stream is the key. Eat a natural diet of all the fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, red meat, chicken and other high quality sources of protein. Avoid sugars, soda pop, flour, breads, spaghetti, noodles, donuts ...all processed foods that quickly convert to glucose in your blood stream.

When your blood glucose levels are too high, your body goes into action immediately to lower it. The pancreas manufactures insulin to try and transport the glucose into the cells where it can be burned for energy, the kidneys get overworked as some of the excess glucose is eliminated through the urine and your liver begins converting the excess glucose into triglycerides which will most likely be stored on you as body fat. In fact, if you have excess body fat stored on you now, realize that it was all originally excess blood glucose that didn’t get burned for energy.

If you want to lower those high triglycerides, the fastest and easiest way to get your blood glucose levels under control is by eliminating those simple carbohydrates that are so quickly converted to glucose.

Where the Cholesterol is Really Coming From

Almost all of your cholesterol is manufactured by your liver. Your diet is the key but probably in ways you may have never realized. This is why cutting out all those foods like eggs and meat seem to have very little effect on lowering your cholesterol levels.

On the other hand, what you choose to eat will directly influence how much cholesterol your liver will manufacture. Here again, we come back to the simple carbohydrates and processed foods which not only raise your blood sugar levels quickly, they will also make you fat and will make your liver produce even more cholesterol.


The True Cause of Heart Disease- Arterial Lesions

As we have already discussed, the true culprit in the cause of heart disease is the amount of VLDL cholesterol in your blood stream. Remember, VLDL cholesterol is simply LDL cholesterol that has been oxidized by dangerous free radicals.

These powerful free radicals are partial molecules and they carry a very small electrical charge. They do their damage by releasing their charge on your cells much like static electricity. Once they have zapped a normal healthy cell enough they can permanently damage it or even completely destroy it. Wherever the free radicals congregate and do their most damage, this is where you will notice the effects. If it is in the joints it may be arthritis. If the damage is concentrated in the liver or kidneys, it may lead to organ failure. If the damage is being done inside of your arteries it can lead to heart disease and plaque build up.

As the dangerous form of VLDL cholesterol circulates throughout your bloodstream, they are free radicals that release their charge on your arterial walls. Eventually they create very tiny holes or lesions in the arteries which will fill with cholesterol. You now have the beginning of heart disease.

That fills the hole for now, but the problem is that it also restricts the blood flow through the artery, and over time more and more cholesterol, fiber and calcium binds to the existing patchwork so you end up with a severe restriction and blockage which leads to heart attack or strokes.


How to Read Your Blood Work Results (Lipid Profile)

Most of the time doctors will order a lipid panel for their patients to determine cholesterol levels and monitor their patients especially if they are using the statin drugs. They are watching closely for signs of liver or kidney damage as well as cholesterol levels. Some of the more common items on this blood test include:

Total Cholesterol Levels- This number is simply the total of both HDL and LDL cholesterol. The ideal range is between 200 to 225 but this number is not nearly as significant as the HDL by itself. Keeping the HDL levels high will provide tre-mendous protection from low or high cholesterol levels.

LDL Cholesterol- The higher the number, the more LDL that can be exposed to harmful free radicals that can turn into VLDL, the truly dangerous form. Once again keeping those HDL levels high will provide tremendous protection for your LDL from becoming VLDL. Normal LDL ranges are generally in the 100 to 120 range.

HDL Cholesterol- One of if not the most important indicator of them all. You want this number as high as possible because of its many health benefits. You want to see this number to be above 50 if possible. Policosanol is one of the few things known to actually increase HDL levels in addition to lowering LDL.

VLDL Cholesterol-This is oxidized LDL cholesterol. The lower this number the better. You want to see this number below 20. This is one of the very best indicators of heart disease potential problems.

Homocysteine Levels-Another good potential indicator of developing heart disease problems. You want to keep this number as low as possible. If you have high homocys-teine levels, supplementing with #3027 Mag Six and #1006 LifeTime is an excellent source of the best forms of Folic Acid, B-6, B-12 and Magnesium that your body can uti-lize to lower homocysteine levels.

Triglycerides- probably the best indicator of a diet that is too high in refined foods. The best way to lower triglycer-ides is to eliminate the sugar and flour from your diet.

C- Reactive Protein- Many times the lab does not perform this test. Ask your doctor for it. It indicates inflammatory action going on inside your blood vessels and this is the beginning of heart disease as explained earlier. You want this number as low as possible.
