High cholesterol

This is not part of a paleo diet, but my last boss had super high cholesterol and she got hers down eating oatmeal every morning for breakfast. She swore by it.

I am a huge fan of garlic and onions - I doubt if my friends are. I cannot tell you how much garlic helped me with lyme. I stunk to high heaven. My breath and my sweat, but by golly my gut was so healthy and so was my blood.

Now? Well, I feel healthy so I have really slacked off the garlic. I have a meeting tonight but tomorrow I think your post here as spurred me into getting back on the garlic.

I did not find the pill form very good at all. The real deal is what works for me. And it is like half the cost.

There are many that really like Allicin tablets. Why not try them first and see if you get results. If not, then go the stinkier way with me. We could form a club?

Oh, and found Dr. Axe's advice -- /draxe.com/lower-cholesterol-naturally-fast/

Here's an explanation of how paleo affects cholesterol, both up and down:

Keep in mind that conventional cholesterol test results are estimates derived from formulas. There's a lot they can leave out, but if you're concerned about it, several fancier tests exist...which also have varying results, as seen in this study:

It's almost like the tests for a certain bug you may have heard of.

If you are still dealing with increased inflammation from Lyme and co's then your high or even extremely high cholesterol levels are due to the inflammation. There is a direct connection. When your inflammation reduces so will your cholesterol levels.
