Ken, I recommend you search Youtube for carnivore doctors and what they say about cholesterol. You'll find amazing information most doctors do not know or acknowledge. I told my doctor flat out that I will not go on cholesterol lowering medication of any kind and I choose to eat the proper human diet (I am currently strict carnivore) to heal my body. This, just after having my second angioplasty 2 weeks ago. Four of my arteries were blocked at 80, 90 or 100%; for at least four years (based on an angiogram taken back then). I have literally stopped ingesting anything, period, other than fatty beef, butter, water, Saltt Hydrate liquid, and occassionally eggs and bacon. Of course, I need to take Prasugrel and 81mg aspirin for a year or more due to having 4 stents. In any case, what we ingest has caused our diseases, and it stands to reason what we ingest can also heal our bodies. Especially since there it is clear evidence our body is designed to heal itself. Just look at what happens when we have a minor cut. You can literaly watch as it heals over the days. I find that fascinating. And, why would that only apply to a cut? Even if the cut is biger and we need stitches, it is our body that is healing itself. Our bodies want to be healthy and we are the ones getting in the way by ingesting all the harmful products promoted by big food and big pharma. We overwhelm it with poisen and it can't keep up. I no longer buy in to the fear-mongering mainstream beliefs saying high cholesterol or eating red meat harms us. For all the reasons you can find by researching what carnivore doctors and those who share their real experiences on carnivore (and provide receipts for their claims). All the best to you.
