How Can Elevated Cholesterol Levels Be Managed?
My cholesterol is 239. HDL=69, LDL=153. BP is 148/85. age 68. Doc put me on Lisinopril 5 mg. I found a recipe of 8 lemons, half C garlic, 2 tbsp. ginger, and 2 tbsp. honey--blend together and mix with 3 liters spring water. Drink half cup each am on an empty stomach for 40 days to cleanse my arteries of cholesterol. I am on day 4 and it does taste pretty good. Do you think this will work to have healthier arteries?

Hello,
Based on the report of your blood test, you need to take cholesterol-lowering medication like atorvastatin once daily which will help in reducing the fat deposition in the arteries. The recipe given in your query may be effective in lowering the high cholesterol level. But there is no scientific study to claim its effectiveness in cleansing the arteries.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
