Interesting that ACV being acidic would work. I’ve read it treats numerous issues. One an Orthopedic Dr. told me his mother got off statins by using AVC for a year and her cholesterol went down.

Wow. I’m struggling with cholesterol right now and working tirelessly to change diet and exercise to bring it down. I will remember that if my changes don’t do the trick. They should as I am hitting it head on with full force right now. I already told my dr I won’t be taking pills for it. I will handle it myself. 💪🏻
The cholesterol numbers are something thought up by those who want to sell drugs. I weighed in obese, and cholesterol numbers were 204, bad was high good was low, etc. Doctor recommended statins, as she always did!! I lost 65 lbs, and only eat unprocessed food. After a year eating like this my total cholesterol went up to 350, the good kind went up and the bad kind went down. So, I think our bodies know what to do and how to act and I refuse to have anymore of those tests done. And...if it makes her feel better to know my cholesterol numbers, fine. But I am not being prescribed anything. We are fearfully and wonderfully made and if I am doing my part then my body will do it's part because I cherish it and take care of myself.♥♥♥
I’ve had cholesterol in the 200’s ever since it was first tested. There is family history of it being high with an aunt even having it in the 400’s. Also history of heart problems but I wonder how much is related to lifestyle choices (smoking, food) so I don’t put a lot into the numbers but mine has been going up towards the 300’s. Thankfully my doctor doesn’t push the statins and even told me that they are based on red yeast rice when I asked about taking that(um hello, then just tell us to take that). I had the best test results ( all my numbers were lower and higher as needed!) this last time and the things I changed in the last year was taking the red yeast rice regularly, drinking a little red wine a few times a week, taking Berberine HCL along with my CoQ10, and a product from doTerra. I am working on losing weight as I was down about 20 lbs the last time my numbers looked close to this. I refuse to take medication that is just going to create more problems.
I’ve not heard of red yeast rice. I’ve been drinking organic matcha tea, eating avocados, taking chia and flax seeds in green smoothies and on salads once a day, eating a handful of walnuts here and there, cut back on a lot of red meats, eating more salads, fish oil (which I hear is controversial because of what the pills are), and introduced a quality probiotic. Focusing on heart healthy foods really. I stopped eating sausage and bacon and other junk foods I used to eat. I also started exercising regularly besides just the yard work.
I think if after changing all this for 6 months if that doesn’t lower my numbers where they need to be I’ll look into red yeast rice! Thanks for the tip!
I looked into Red Yeast Rice. It acts as a statin and has the same side effects. After I found that out it went in the garbage.
I’ve done a TON of research. Running Logic gave me some great doctors to look up and have been listening to podcasts. Dr William Davis is very good.
So, cholesterol isn’t the issue. It is triglycerides which are produced from processed carbs.
AND....VERY IMPORTANT....get a Calcium Score test done. This is the true gold standard on a predictor for a heart attack or heart disease. My cholesterol is 260. My calcium score is 0. Cholesterol is not a predictor of anything really.
Last thing, if you need calcium DO NOT take calcium supplements. Eat green leafy vegetables. Free floating calcium has been why many females over 50 have had heart attacks. The plaque build up in arteries is from calcium.
Oh man!! I was on a steep learning curve the past 3 weeks. The podcast are great though. Do a search on cholesterol on your podcast app. The only lifestyle change I am making is eating more fish. I already eliminated sugar, junk food and a lot of dairy. Don’t drive yourself crazy. Get a calcium score. It’s not covered by insurance and is about $100. ❤️
Oh yes it works. Great for so many things. EarthClininc.com is a great site. Folks like us with all natural solutions. You can search by ailment and all kinds of remedies pop up!! I cured a toothache with activated charcoal and swallowed some garlic for the infection.
I just learned during my recent pregnancy that oftentimes heartburn is caused by a lack of acid in the diet, causing your body to produce its own and sometimes it makes too much. My midwife told me that's why pregnant women so commonly have pickle cravings, to combat the common pregnancy symptom of heartburn. :) God programmed our bodies to know all of this for us. We're just catching up, or undoing the damage our hubris has done. In any case, my midwife recommended apple cider vinegar too, including in a capsule form (easier to handle on a pregnant, nauseous tummy:) made for heartburn. Cleared that symptom right up and the rest of my pregnancy was smooth and now I have a beautiful baby daughter. Not that heartburn would have changed that outcome, but just in case anyone was wondering how the story ended. :)

Yes! And I am weighing that kind of info. With mine too.
You have made fantastic changes! I love it! Congratulations!!! If I could lose more weight I’d be happy! I’m working on that too! 😊

Thank you! This is great information. I will check into all this! I have heard what you are saying before too. So this confirms things.
If your calcium score is 0 does that mean you need more calcium? And if it’s too high that’s what can cause the heart attacks?
I’m going to look up the podcast too but I thought I’d ask.
Low carb is known, ironically, for lowering cholesterol.
Look up keto and cancer!! Blow my mind and who's telling you!?!? Also hyperbolic oxygen, simple will known cure for almost everything but Covid!!
Have you read Dr. William Davis or listened to The Fat Emperor, Ivor Cummins podcasts? Cholesterol is not a problem. There is no reason to lower it.
Inflammation is worth addressing. And lowering triglycerides. Both of which respind nicely to a well formulated low carb high natural fat diet.
I just found out about that doctor today on C&C. Will look into him. Thanks!!!I’ll check out the others too.

I tried to look that up and couldn't get to the site. It is www.earthclinic.com Little typo in that link. Thanks!
Yes. Weird. Try using Brave or DDG for search engine.

I must have missed it, but what is AVC? Thanks.
Apple cider vinegar. Go with braggs or another quality brand.
