How does one increase levels of HDL and decrease triglycerides and VLDL without drugs? -

HDL 31 mg/dl Triglycerides 320 mg/dl VLDL 64 mg/dl Type 2 Diabetes under control with oral drugs (semiglynase and metformin) Hypertension under control with beta blockers with hydrazide and other drugs (amilodipine, ramipril)

Triglycerides come from Carbohydrates, not fat. Cut out all carbohydrates except those from non starchy vegetables. Your Triglycerides will fall, your CHD will improve, and you will not need any drugs for Type II diabetes. Watch the fruit and eliminate the grains. Increase in HDL comes from saturated and mono saturated fat. Increase in LDL comes from trans-fats and vegetable oils. VLDL is a dangerous form of cholesterol that your body makes when you eliminate all dietary cholesterol. Eat your eggs every day. Follow this advise and you will CURE your diabetes, lose weight, eliminate your BP meds, live longer. You can follow the advice others will give, but that is probably what you have been doing. Do you know anyone who eats a low fat diet who has lowered their numbers? Yes, you can lower them temporarily, but once your body figures out what you are doing, it just makes more. Cholesterol is that important to life. Never take drugs to lower your cholesterol as artificially lowered blood levels have NEVER been shown to benefit CHD. Every cholesterol drug ad has a disclaimer stating just that. Look up any ad, you will find it. Worse yet, you might die sooner from cancer, stroke, infection. Or trigger ALS, Alzheimer s, or dementia, ED. Such a deal. Pharmacist who s life was almost ruined by Lipitor

It s weird the way so many people have this idea in their head about quot;not wanting to take any drugsquot;. I ve got news for you pal, all this quot;diet and exercisequot; stuff is no match to your genetics. You can turn yourself into Lance Armstrong (and let s face it, you ain t even coming close) and your HDLs will still be too low and your LDLs will still be too high. The answer is to take a proven drug like Zocor. You have DM II... You have hypertension... most likely you are morbidly obese, don t you kid yourself into thinking you re going to exercise your way out of this. You are well on your way towards heart disease and worse. Wake up and get to your doctor about going on a statin and stop living in fantasyland about this quot;without drugsquot; crap.

Just monitor your bodyfat, insulin, stress, blood pressure, homocysteine and nitric oxide levels Do not worry about cholesterol. It is a scam.

Get more exercise, eat less sugar, eat more protein. Drink more water is the most important.
