Cholesterol values and your thoughts....????

[Bouncer]

I don't think it does effect all users.

Last year everyone here was pushing me to get blood work because I had been on for so long. Everyone was convinced my blood work would be horrible especially Rocket. I finally caved and went and got blood work. The only thing that was a bit off was my good cholesterol was not as high as it should be. It wasn't drastically low. The doc wasn't even concerned, she just said "eat more olive oil and nuts".

Now this may be genetic or it may by dietary. You all know how consistent I am with diet in the warm months. You also know my main carb source is oatmeal. My theory is that a high fiber diet helps substantially. The fact that I eat almost no fat may have something to do with it as well. Something to think about.

This actually brings up a good question on cholesterol in relation to gear. Why does it elevate cholesterol? Is this common with all users or just some? Is it a quality issue?

I wonder if TRT guys who use medical grade gear have cholesterol problems when using gear.

Take salt. When you ingest sea salt, you're good. Table salt, however, has tiny pieces of glass in it which cut your arteries. Cholesterol is then released to cover these wounds to keep you from bleeding out. I wonder if gear is doing something similar due to quality.

Doesn't cholesterol get converted to testosterone through the testes?

Not sure about that one. Maybe that's why I need TRT and why I have high cholesterol. No conversion being done lol. Useless nuts of mine. Only good thing they did was produce my kids.

And you believe anything you see on a video?

No, if I did then I would believe Bonnie Rotten is really squirting that much and not pissing all over everyone. :grin:

I have, however, followed this doctor's articles and interviews for a while now, along with others. We can question everyone's opinions when it comes to anything. I think it's interesting theories from people who are smarter on the subject than I am.

Also here.. http://blogs.naturalnews.com/the-truth-about-salt/

The problem comes in with table salt (also called Iodized salt). This may come as a shock, but table salt is comprised of sodium chloride and along with that often contaminated with sand and glass. Herein lies the problem. When you consume this lovely mixture the sand and glass are abrasive. They scratch and make small tears in your body including your veins. Your body reacts by trying to patch and heal with fats (cholesterol). This often causes your body to make more cholesterol than needed and cause blockages and in more extreme cases can lead to stroke or heart attack. So it does make sense that doctors place you on a salt restricted diet.

I'm not claiming to be an expert at anything other than alcoholism and nymphomania. Just passing along information. Take it with a grain of salt (sea salt preferred).

What Doctor? Author is listed as a lady that isn't a doctor. YouTube videos states it is Dr. Somebody, but he isn't a physician, more of a natural medicine PhD. I'm just confused about who authored that quote.

Bwahahaha

Bwahahaha

Hows your trip going homie?

[Mr I]

I'm going to go with Policosanol @ 20mg-40 daily for a month and get them checked again before I start anything. I'll add fish oil whenever I do start.

And Mr.I, that's the thing, my HDL is just below normal, but my LDL being so high fucks that ratio all up.

And Bouncer, Winny is staying as long as I can keep Cholesterol levels in check.

This may look like a bulking cycle, but I plan on eating very clean and continuing with cardio 40-60 mins on treadmill walking at 3.7 on incline 4.0.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a cutting cycle, but with the way I will manipulate the diet, it will be.

I'm not a fan of the ED/EOD Test Prop shots and Tren has always given me pretty rough sides even though it is my favorite, hence the reason I'm staying away from it this go round.

I'll try to keep updates on my blood tests and results with Policosanol @ 20mg-40 daily.

Your a good guy

But you are asking for advice then not taking it in board. I rails and winny mess your cholesterol profile up.

I ask for advice because a diverse list of opinions helps push my decision one way or the other. I know the members that have been around as long as you and I and a few others and I have the utmost respect for them. I definitely appreciate the concern and will keep a close eye on my Cholesterol during the entire cycle and if HDL levels drop below a level I'm comfortable with I will drop the winny. I've run orals before many times and Cholesterol has always been an issue in my genetics even when doing everything naturally possible to control them. BUT I haven't tried the Policosanol and Omega 3 fish oil route yet, so I'm going to give it a go and if that doesn't help I will seek meds from the doc.

[Bouncer]

Lmg, do you want a beat down? Me and Mr I are gonna warn you 1 more time. If you touch Winny you will get kicked in the gullet.

[Lmg2701]

I feel like I'm being scolded by my parents.... :D
