Natural Cholesterol Control Supplements
Question: My mom is currently taking Niaspan and Lipitor and I am wanting to try a more natural approach...? My mom is 68 years old and she has been on cholesterol medication for a few years now. I am afraid of the medications long term side effects my sister also had high cholesterol and was able to control it with a medicine called Cholestoff. My mom has a dr visit for blood work tomorrow and I was thinking that would be a good time to see if we could try it. I wanted to get her on the Cholestoff and maybe a vitamin B supplement to replace the Niaspan and some Garlic tablets. I am not sure if the Dr has her best interest in mind of if he is making a commission off the drugs he is prescribing because from my understanding the Niaspan is basically Niacin which is sold OTC but she is paying over 100.00 monthly after insurance and medicare. And also I thought the Lipitor was only to get her cholesterol under control but he said she would be on it for life. I don't want her to take meds that end up messing something else up (like her liver) later on down the line if we can take care of it naturally with diet and natural things I just don't know what the dr will say and I am wondering if any one else had similar experiences?
First off I am not trying to experiment I am simply seeking other options/alternatives of treatment that will fully be discussed with her doctor I am not planning on doing anything without his approval. I am not experienced in dealing with the health problems of the elderly and am simply trying to broaden my horizons to improve her quality and length of life because I love her. She is the one always complaining about all the meds she has to take and I don't want her on something that is going to make her take something else in the long run.
Answer: Couple problems. Lipitor is a drug called a statin. They're very safe, very effective, an no they don't do anything to the liver. The problem is that if you use a statin for a while, and then stop taking it your cholesterol will go back to where it was before. In short, they only work while you take them, and your body returns to homeostasis if you stop.
It does strike me as kind of silly to pay that much for niacin. But what worries me is pulling her off the lipitor. Your mother is at an age where you're going to have a lot of trouble doing any sort of dietary intervention, the metabolism of a 68 year old isn't quite capable of changing cholesterol metabolism that much.
Question: natural ways to increase estrogen and progesterone?? help!? Hi everyone! so i am 20 yrs old and i was wondering what are some natural ways to increase my progesterone and estrogen? I just had a saliva test done and my progesterone and estrogen are very very low, as a result my periods have gone hay wire. i've had spotting for almost 2 months now. doctor prescribed birth control pills to regulate my cycle and stop the spotting but i would rather do a natural alternative, such as balance my hormones first and see if that helps. my doctor also said that i need to increase my cholesterol because if its too low my body cant produce the proper amount of hormones? should i eat more steak? flaxseed oil? im also very tall and thin and yes this is my natural body type. ive always been this way and have tried gaining weight but its not as easy as people think. i eat a variety of foods but not that much red meat, mostly chicken or fish. could that be why my cholesterol is low? anyways if anyone has had this problem before or knows what foods/supplements increase estrogen and progesterone, please please respond. thank you!

Question: Food-grade Diatomaceous Earth? To eat? (Or, at least, to put in tea.) Really? As some of you know, I am an RN, who now does health counseling and coaching by phone. I frequently speak to people who choose not to take the medications prescribed to them for conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol, preferring to take natural/herbal remedies or supplements. Although I am certainly more knowledgeable about Western medicine, I have no problem with other treatments, wherever they may originate, as long as they actually work. I am getting more familiar with certain substances, like cinnamon and red rice yeast (or maybe it's red yeast rice?), but recently had a patient sing the praises of food-grade diatomaceous earth, for either blood pressure or cholesterol treatment. Does anyone have any knowledge of this, used to treat medical conditions? I did some online searching, but mostly found gardening or insect control info, and the food-grade info was limited to sites that sold the stuff, so not exactly unbiased material.
Thanks,
Katherine
Answer: While looking for a 'natural' way of flea and parasite control, I've been doing a pretty 'in depth' study of the 'food grade' diatomaceous earth.
For ingestion by either human or animal, the FOOD GRADE is the most important thing to remember here. There are 'lesser' grades for treating the lawn, treating building perimeters and for swimming pool filters.
Now, I'm a 'naturalist', more interested in the 'prevention' rather the 'chemical cures' of today's medicine. Just seeing the list of 'side effects' listed on each drug on the market is frightening.
I've been really impressed with the pureness of diatomaceous earth...and what I've found really makes sense.
WHAT IF diseases like cancer are actually the result of some type of parasite infestation? It's possible, seeing the quality of the foods we buy and the 'recalls' of beef and other products that are found to be unfit, unhealthy or containing salmonella, melamine or other harmful ingredients...both sickening and killing people and pets...
The 'food grade' diatomaceous earth is a pure and natural product of the sea...ground fossils. Although, to the touch, it feels like a very soft powder, to the insect or parasite, it is like 'walking/crawling over ground glass'. It cuts into their skin and kills them.
Considering the cost of Frontline for flea/tick control on our cats and dog...$122.00...(which made 5 of my pets extremely sick for 2 days) and the cost of insect control for lawns and the veggie garden...the DE is a bargain. I just received an order, 2, 5 lb. bags for $28. including shipping.
I have been 'powdering' the cats and dog (carpet and pet bedding) and the flea population is nearly zero. The 'bonus' is, when the cats 'groom' they are ingesting it and being cleansed of any parasites like tapeworm, etc.
Large cattle farms add DE to their grain/feed, not only keeping the feed free of insects but curing any internal problems caused by fly eggs, etc.
Personally, I haven't started sprinkling it on my oatmeal yet...LOL...but, with a little more research, I might <:O)
It may be a 'stretch' to say ingesting DE will control blood pressure and/or cholesterol UNLESS it can be proven that these health issues can be traced back to parasite infestation in the blood stream, affecting the heart, clogging and narrowing the arteries, etc. What about the possibility of parasites being responsible for Alzheimers and ADHD ????
It's a very interesting study and the possibility of DE being a great preventive and cure is pretty high, but I'd like to see more research done on it, because it really makes a lot of sense. <:O) Helen

Question: Why is it so wrong for kids to be vegetarian/vegan? will the world end? I hear teenagers saying how parents wont support them, so they are waiting to start buying their own food. arent parents suppose to RAISE kids? no wonder my company has to support so many orphanages if parents have no idea how to raise kids. I live in south africa. the most dangerous parents I've found are the religious ones. apparently god will cure everything. yeah, if the kid wont die first.
anyway is it truly so hard to push the shopping cart to the shelves filled with seeds and grains? is meat suddenly cheaper? hm, NGO always gives grains. or is meat feeding the world? well, apparently it takes 7kg of grains to get 1kg of meat. and fish stocks are going to collapse in 2048. I know about creatine and vitamin B12 deficiency. and we couldnt argue about it unless science wouldnt tell us about it. and that same science gave us supplements and fortified food for vegans.
or is it because meat gives protein? apparently too much animal protein is causing osteoporosis. thats why cows milk isnt for humans. half of the world is lactose intolerant and osteoporosis rates arent larger in asia compared with the west. looks like sucking on cows titties isnt helpful. there are more sources of calcium other than milk. you dont have to believe everything they say in those commercials. they want money and they know how to attract ignorant masses to the store. btw eggs are filled with cholesterol. me and others survived on a vegan diet in mountains in asia. you have to eat more for energy. buddhists who live there all year long have no health issues if they eat vegan food for religious reasons. omega 3 is in flax seeds. flaxseed oil isnt that expensive. and a nutritionist told me that people who switch to veganism and become sick, were relying on meat too much.
is meat natural? sure, we are omnivores. and humans can think and decide what to eat. pandas do the same. and before saying that we have canine teeth for tearing flesh or that meat is so tasty, try bitting a deers leg and see if you can bite through the skin, and eat the flesh completely raw. yeah, everyone loves that meat sauce on spaghetti after it was cooked in TOMATOES, ONION and PEPPER.
no wonder kids have personality issues, if they are treated like puppets. working all day is not an excuse to be narrow mined and stand in a line with a shopping cart while butcher does all the work for you. I work on sundays, its really hot in africa and I'm not controlling anyone's stomach. kids at my orphanage get what they ask for. so when are parents going to listen to kids food wishes?
Answer: I agree, there are a huge number of benefits associated with the vegetarian/vegan diet, documented by numerous scientific studies but certain people will never even consider other viewpoints.

Answer: I love posts like this. You complain about the way people choose to live their lives and call them "narrow-minded" because they choose to not live like you or share your beliefs.
I'll agree with you that it's a horrible thing if a parent can't raise a child properly, but to blame a parenting deficiency on the parents having the child eat meat or drink milk is a bit preposterous.
Supplements, by their definition, are filling in for a deficiency. So your diet is falling short of what your body needs to survive. It's hard to argue a nutrition case when you're admittedly depriving your own body of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc. with the way you eat.
And answering to a kid's food wish list...well that would probably consist of french fries, pizza and chocolate..not the most nutritious diet in the world.
Simple fact is, one's personality is formed by the environment they grow up and live in. Things like abusive parents, getting involved in gangs, or getting beat up at school every day can have a negative impact on a child's development. But I highly doubt mommy putting a steak on the child's plate instead of a salad can mentally damage a child.
If you deal with children that are coming from broken homes and neglectful parents, I commend your work. Children should be giving every possible opportunity to succeed in life and shouldn't have to face malnutrition, violence, and abuse. But don't blame the world's problems on people eating meat or drinking milk.
