Anyone had success lowering cholesterol without using drugs?



Answers:
Garlics and exercise are the solutions for lowering cholesterol levels without using drugs.

I herd of drinking apple cider vinegar, but don't know if it works
I lost weight and stopped eating chips and fast food. Eat more fish and try to walk or exercise a lot more like 5 times 30 minute walks per week minimum.

The Mall doesn't count contrary to women's opinion.
Exercise, garlic pills, butter substitute (Benecal, Take Control), oatmeal.
My dad cut out a lot of red meat, and greasy foods like pizza, fried food, unless the fried food was cooked in Canola oil
yes, eating oatmeal in the mornings lowers your cholesterol by 40points (roughly).

4 years ago my cholesterol was 230. I lost 30 pounds and I'm down to 150.
I am actually beating cholesterol right now. I have lowered the LDL, increased the HDL and importantly decreased the triglycerids.

All that with 2 key changes to my life:
- low carb diet
- exercise

You can see my experience on my blog: beatcholesterol.blogspot.com
There is research on the # of prisons needed based on 3rd & 4th grade literacy test scores. I am not making this up. Research it for yourself.

Hi. Yes, there are alternatives and some are mentioned by others here. I guess the first question is why for you? Is it the expense? Possible side effects? Actual side effects? Interest in alternatives?

Increasing the amount of dietary fiber in the diet has been shown time and time again in clinical trials to help lower cholesterol (it can lower the bad and in many instances raise the good cholesterol). According to the National Institutes of Health's National Cholesterol Education Program dietary changes are supposed to be the FIRST line of treatment for elevated cholesterol. They recommend adding dietary fiber and plant sterols that mimic cholesterol in the body to get it down first. I NEVER see this happen in the hospital with the doctors I works with. I've only had one of them refer a patient to me but only after the patient couldn't tolerate the statin drugs. The typical fiber that can be bought at Walmart is basically potty powder and won't do much for cholesterol.

I hope this helps a little. Jeff the nurse in Nashville

Had one person who was under 3 mo. check for cholesterol level.. had no results.. when he appeared for the next 3 mo. check, after receiving this advice, he was found to be normal.. This occurs in 2 out of 3 people. The 3rd one just having no change. Was also told to stop eating so much white bread.bloat went down.
