If you’re obsessing about your cholesterol scores, you may be surprised to know that the much-maligned molecule is arguably the most important and functional chemical in your body. Yet to the average patient and his physician, the only thing it represents is clogged arteries, heart disease, aging and death. Nonetheless, despite what most people think of cholesterol, which exists as various chemical forms including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, DHEA and vitamin D, at least 50% of heart attack victims have normal levels of this misunderstood molecule.
What’s more, while statin drugs may slightly lower heart attack risks in some people, other non-statin drugs that lower cholesterol demonstrates zero relationship to reduced heart attack risk. What we miss in our collective cholesterol derangement syndrome and the unreasonable fear of cholesterol, is the fact that elevated blood sugar, which is clearly related to heart disease, is also behind high total cholesterol levels.
Which means if you’re worried about where you have heart disease, your best strategy is to treat yourself like a diabetic. Reduce your intake of sweets, breads, cereals and other starches. Take advantage of nutrition to help keep blood sugar and cholesterol under control. To keep your heart healthy, sulfur is especially important. Use MSM sulfur and enjoy sulfur rich foods including fish, eggs, as well as onions, garlic and cruciferous vegetables. You’ll loose weight, prevent damage to your extremities and your eyes, improve energy levels and protect your heart safely and naturally without the toxicity of drug intervention.
