Among other problems I have,my colestrol is high. I know this isn't necessarily the site,but having been a member of the w/c for about 4 yrs. Id like to know if my friends here have the same prob.with high colestrol,and what your number is. Im at 274,tried many meds and diet.but struggle.The meds,along with my pain meds tend to shoot my liver function at dangerous levels. If anyone knows a site that deals with this let me know. Thanks.

Go to the pharmacy or a health food store and get yourself a bag of Flaxseed Meal (crushed flaxseed). My cholesterol dropped 43 points just from taking two tablespoons of it per day--one tablespoon in the morning and one tablespoon before I go to bed. My doctor told me whatever I was doing to keep it up. I told him what I was doing...and he really did not believe me. I heard about it from my brother. His cholesterol had dropped 31 points, so I thought I'd give it a try. It's an excellent alternative if the cholesterol drugs are messing with your liver!

No problem, Backless! Did you go out and buy some flaxseed? If you'll take the dosage like I'm taking and DON'T miss a day, you'll be thankful that you hung in there. Oh, I forgot to mention that the crushed flaxseed will also help you maintain regularity!! This I found out on my own, because before with all the medications that I was on made it difficult to "go"! The flaxseed relieved all that!! :o

Where is everybody? This board is slow. I certainly miss Tamarashadow...how bout you?
