My total cholesterol was 279 and I freaked out! But you cannot go by the TOTAL cholesterol number alone. My HDL - the good choleseterol - was 97, which was high off the charts. A physician friend looked at my total cholesterol profile and said I have nothing to worry about since my HDL was so high, and my triglycerides were low. He also said to stay away from any prescription meds that lower cholesterol - there negative effects far outway any positives. My advice, get another professional opinion from a doctor who is not so dogmatic, and stuck in the conventional, sometimes lazy, way of thinking - times have changed greatly with advances done by alternative professionals. Good luck. Tina in Cleveland, Ohio
