In Episode 69, Jimmy and Christine take a look at this myth that having high LDL and total cholesterol will lead to heart disease, heart attacks and death. This needless scare mongering is not grounded in scientific evidence which points more to the ratio between HDL and triglycerides as a key indicator of heart health risks:

The LDL particle size is what is most important when you are measuring your lipid panel, so having one of the two major particle size tests done is critical. The VAP Cholesterol Test can be found at http://www.atherotech.com and the NMR LipoProfile test (which Jimmy HIGHLY recommends!) is at http://nmrlipoprofile.com Get your doctor to run one of these tests to know if your LDL particles are the large, fluffy, protective kind or the small, dense, dangerous ones you want to avoid.

Here’s a blog post Jimmy wrote about his 326 total cholesterol:

Statin drugs expose patients to dangerous, debilitating side effects
http://www.naturalnews.com/021397.html

Millions of Americans take statin drugs to help lower their cholesterol, making it one of the most popular classes of prescription drugs on the market today, but like most prescription medications, these drugs are often unnecessary, as most Americans could lower their LDL (bad) cholesterol levels simply by changing their diet and lifestyle. However, we live in a world where people are looking for a quick fix, and doctors are eager to recommend “magic pills” to patients with any and all health concerns. The problem with these so-called “magic pills” is that they often end up doing more harm than good. Such is the case with Lipitor, the most popular of the five statin drugs available today.

In 2001, patients filled more than 57 million prescriptions for Lipitor, a drug that promises to reduce high levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol while increasing levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. Proponents of Lipitor and other statin drugs claim that they, in addition to normalizing cholesterol levels, can reduce inflammation and reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and heart-related deaths in general. What doctors and pharmacists are less likely to explain in full to patients, however, are the potential side effects of drugs like Lipitor — side effects that can outweigh any potential good the drugs might purport to do.
