I just got back my cholesterol test results, the last test was done nearly five years ago. Five years ago my total cholesterol was high and my LDL (bad cholesterol) was high. My recent tests came back with greatly improved results. The doctor was at a loss as to how I brought things in line since I refused to take their drugs to "fix" the problem. I told him the only thing I changed was I stopped eating pork, particularly bacon for breakfast everyday. I'm not fanatical about it; I'll still eat it if someone serves it to me. I'm sure cholesterol is or should be a concern of many other trappers. Maybe my approach would work for you??

Good for you,
I dropped mine doing the same thing. They don't realize that you don't need to take a pill especially a Statin to drop your Cholesterol.
Don't get me wrong I eat a bacon cheeseburger now and then but just watch things a lot closer then I use to.

I’ve fought with high cholesterol for 30 years. Family history isn’t good. I had 3 stents put in at 46 years old. My numbers are never low enough for the Dr’s. I get blood work done end of May. We will see where I’m at.

Way to go.
I'd love to lower it naturally, but it didnt work for me. I dont eat bacon but maybe 4 times a year, so thats not the culprit.
Raising the good cholesterol (HDL)...now that is very tricky if not seemingly impossible (no good meds for that). I've tried OTC Niacin.

Raising good cholesterol is easy-I did it by eating lots of sardines for snacks.You can also take Omega 3 oil capsules made from seals or fish.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Some fat in your diet is a good thing. My Brother, "the Bunghole", is Psychotic about removing ALL fat from his diet, his Doc told him that was likely the reason for his stroke.

I have been fortunate to have decent cholesterol readings on my physical blood draws. Just got the latest bill (that was sent to insurance) at the tune of $1500.00 Maybe save everyone some $$$ and not check but every other or third year.

Ron, 110 for your total? What is your LDL number? If I was that low I would not be taking any statin drug.
