Instead of statins every morning I take a big teaspoon of black cumin and a tablespoon of quality olive oil. Been doing it about 6 months. Dr wanted me to go back on statins. Went for 6 month checkup and it was 51 points lower.

That's a big drop!, good on ya...

way to go

That is always a positive result when you can avoid medication thru diet modifications or bad eating habits.

incredible.. keep up the good work!

Good on you. I’ve been eating oatmeal for breakfast going on 4 months and get checked again in July. What’s the name of your Quality olive oil ?

Well done, Danny. I had never heard of black cumin until now, but that's one heck of an improvement!

Nice.

Just added these supplements? Your daily diet and exercise regiment remained about the same?

Thats Amazing Danny

Always better if you can reduce your cholesterol naturally rather than meds. Well done!

I think the Doctor want to push drugs as long its under 200 should be good. Now they want under 150 why?

What are your LDL, HDL, and triglyceride numbers?

Exactly.

My family doctor retired and I got assigned to another in the same practice. My new doctor has taken me off two drugs. No problems. As for statins, I started on 40 mg of Lipitor in the 90s.

I’ll be 80 in October.

About 9 years ago mine was over 250 total. With heart issues in my family dr wanted me on statins. Tried no way. Had enough pain with spine injury and arthritis. Now muscle aches. Cardiologist said walking. and fish oil . Plus cut down on beef and NO SAUSAGE !!! Went 11 months with out a burger steak any beef. Chicken and turkey only. Walked 10,000 steps a day. Cholesterol was 143 total. Now i still walk. Eat about 2 burgers a week. A steak maybe every 10 days .Last check up in April Cholesterol was 139 total. Triglycerides was 103 BP 117/75 I'll take that for an old fart ...

I was always on the edge of , bad cholesterol

then they diagnosed me type 2 diabetic

cut the sugar, pop , bread , almost all the rice , all the potatoes , and have very low carbs all the time.

eating meat and veg for basically every meal if there isn't meat there is eggs or fish.

probably way more pork and red meat than they "say" is healthy and all my numbers fell right in line with ideal , doc always used to go through and say well work on getting this down or that down. he went into his usually one appointment scratched his head , said whatever your doing just keep doing it.

no supplements , just real food , almost like god intended we graze and hunt birds , animals and fish to eat and grow vegetables to eat and that was all we really needed.

cutting the factory and chemical plant out of your diet goes a long ways.

Olive oil is grown and pressed in Georgia. I don't remember specific numbers other than total is down 51 points.

Good job Danny! Did you change/cut anything else out of your diet?

I gave up potato's grain and sugar, (low carb only) to control diabetes a long time ago. Did not help cholesterol. The olive oil and black seed powder lowered it.

Excellent to you, I'm getting blood drawn tomorrow for work health fair.
