Cholesterol Protection and Treatment Protocol

“Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notion, follow humbly wherever and to whatever abysses nature leads, or you will learn nothing.” Thomas Huxley, Note please do this and "The Cholesterol Problem" becomes the scam it is

Don’t be afraid of Sunshine, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D or Cholesterol; learn their properties and safely and freely use these powerful health tools

If your doctor says these 5 words about your cholesterol. “LDL is the bad cholesterol” find another doctor. None of your basic body mechanisms are “Bad”.

BOTTOM LINE: LOTS of fiber, vitamin E, vitamin C, antioxidants and continuous good levels of all the B vitamins will remove much of the risk currently attributed to “Bad Cholesterol”.

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery everyday. Never lose a holy curiosity." Albert Einstein, Note applied to medicine Einstein is saying Clinical Experience trumps Medical Dogma every time, if the clinic disagrees with the dogma THROW the dogma, The corrupt establishment will not do this but we MUST

"First and foremost cholesterol is a vital component of every cell membrane on Earth. In other words, there is no life on Earth that can live without cholesterol. That will automatically tell you that, in of itself, it cannot be evil. In fact it is one of our best friends. We would not be here without it. No wonder lowering cholesterol too much increases one's risk of dying. Cholesterol also is a precursor to all of the steroid hormones. You cannot make estrogen, testosterone, cortisone, and a host of other vital hormones without cholesterol.” Doctor Don Rosedale MD, widely considered to be the leading anti-aging doctor in the United State

“Dietary cholesterol contributes to the strength of the intestinal wall and helps babies and children develop a healthy brain and nervous system. Foods that contain cholesterol also provide many other important nutrients. Only oxidized cholesterol, found in powdered milk and eggs, contributes to heart disease. Powdered milk is added to 1% and 2% milk.” Weston A. Price Foundation

“There are millions more adults who aren’t searching for ways to improve their arterial health. They incorrectly believe their arteries are healthy because their total cholesterol number is below 200. Adults with so-called healthy cholesterol numbers aren’t being told that as many adults experience a heart attack with a cholesterol count below 200 as over 300.” Bill Sardi

"I have never thought that the cholesterol theory of atherosclerosis was true. I heard about it for the first time in 1962 shortly after getting my MD. My biochemical knowledge was still intact at that time and I knew that cholesterol was one of the most important molecules in your body, indispensable for the building of your cells and for producing stress and sex hormones as well as vitamin D. The idea that cholesterol in the blood should kill us if its concentration is a little higher than normal, as they wrote in the Framingham paper, seemed to me just as silly as to claim that yellow fingers cause lung cancer.” Doctor Uffe Ravnskov, MD, PhD

“Among the more than 20,000 patients who have come to my clinic, only four or five of them truly needed cholesterol-lowering drugs.” Doctor Joseph Mercola

“Those with cholesterol levels of 180 were at twice the risk of hemorrhagic stroke as those with cholesterol at 230. Risk of thrombotic stroke was twice as likely at cholesterol levels of 280 than at 230. ” American Heart Association, Note these numbers give us a rough idea of "normal" cholesterol in the US. At 180 our blood vessels may not have enough cholesterol for strength and become subject to rupture; 280 is a marker for disease of some sort, possibly atherogenic, in our bodies.

“The cholesterol scare is big business for doctors, laboratories and drug companies.” Udo Erasmus

Cholesterol is required for YOUR life

“There are many herbal preparations on the market for adrenal exhaustion. However, the most important therapeutic measure is to provide your adrenal glands with plenty of dietary cholesterol.” Doctor Natasha Campbell-McBride, MD

“Of course, statins inhibit the production of cholesterol--they do this very well. Nowhere is the failing of our medical system more evident than in the wholesale acceptance of cholesterol reduction as a way to prevent disease--have all these doctors forgotten what they learned in biochemistry 101 about the many roles of cholesterol in the human biochemistry?” Sally Fallon and Mary G. Enig, PhD

“Apart from ensuring that fat-soluble vitamins get digested and absorbed properly, cholesterol is the major building block of one of these vitamins: vitamin D. Vitamin D is made from the cholesterol in our skin when it is exposed to sunlight. In those times of the year when there isn’t much sunlight, we can get this vitamin from cholesterol-rich foods: cod liver oil, fish, shellfish, butter, lard and egg yolks. Our recent misguided fears of the sun and avoidance of cholesterol-rich foods have created an epidemic of vitamin D deficiency in the Western world.” Doctor Natasha Campbell-McBride, MD

“Cholesterol is vital to proper neurological function. It plays a key role in the formation of memory and the uptake of hormones in the brain, including serotonin, the body’s feel-good chemical. When cholesterol levels drop too low, the serotonin receptors cannot work. Cholesterol is the main organic molecule in the brain, constituting over half the dry weight of the cerebral cortex.” Sally Fallon and Mary G. Enig, PhD

“Did this patient's health fail as a result of her new eating habits, or was it mere coincidence that her recent health decline followed the adoption of an extremely low-fat, low-cholesterol, low-animal-protein diet? I believe it was the latter and the scientific literature confirms my beliefs. The patient's reduction in cholesterol and total serum protein had made her vulnerable to bacterial and viral infection by promoting T-cell suppression. This is especially so in the presence of mercury, which has been shown to reduce resistance to viruses, cancer and autoimmune disease. Low levels of cholesterol also make T-cell proliferation more difficult and the excretion of mercury nearly impossible." Eric Davis DDS

Your liver manufactures cholesterol. You can also get cholesterol from animals or the animal products you ingest. Every cell in your body also has the ability to make its own cholesterol. That is how important cholesterol is to maintain a healthy body. In many cells, almost half of the cell membrane is made from cholesterol. Different kinds of cells in the body need different amounts of cholesterol, depending on their function and purpose. If the cell is part of a protective barrier, it will have a lot of cholesterol in it to make it strong, sturdy and resistant to any invasion. If a cell or an organelle inside the cell needs to be soft and fluid, it will have less cholesterol in its structure.

For most of us, lowering the amount of cholesterol we eat will not affect our cholesterol levels, as our livers will just produce more, if we need more. Your body produces the Cholesterol it requires based on MANY factors. For instance if you eat a lot of fat you will produce more of an agent that will help you digest this fat. That agent is Cholesterol which is used to create the fat digesting bile. If you eat a diet completely devoid of cholesterol your body will use the nutrients you eat to create cholesterol!

Cholesterol Elimination

Your body can only get rid of excess cholesterol thru your stool so you must assure good gastrointestinal health and a low bowel transit time or your cholesterol may be high because your body is unable to eliminate it. If you have little fiber in your diet and a bowel transit time (See Bowel Transit Time Protocol) of many days up to 95% of the cholesterol passing thru your colon can be resorbed back into your body. Low fiber diets can increase cholesterol levels.

Cholesterol is Required for Hundreds of Body Functions

You require cholesterol for many vital functions. Cholesterol is required to produce vitamin D, steroid and sex hormones; for healthy cell membranes, skin, digestion and central nervous system. Your body transports cholesterol by putting it in a packet. LDL is the Low-Density Lipoprotein packet your body uses to distribute recently obtained EFAs (See EFA Protocol) other fats and cholesterol. Your HDL (See HDL Protocol) packets move expended cholesterol and other lipids to your liver for disposition. A high HDL level will tend to keep your risk of heart disease low. As you see when examining the LDL protocol Oxidized LDL is a problem and we must keep our antioxidant levels high to prevent this. But please remember ANYTHING OXIDIZED is a problem. Our constant job is to make sure NOTHING in our body except the bad guys oxidizes. Our body does use oxidation as a highly targeted tool to kill pathogens.

Doctor Stephanie Seneff's Sulfur Theory of Heart and Brain Disease

"In this way [sun exposure], your skin will produce cholesterol sulfate, which will then flow freely through the blood—not packaged up inside LDL—and therefore your liver doesn't have to make so much LDL. So the LDL goes down. In fact... there is a complete inverse relationship between sunlight and cardiovascular disease – the more sunlight, the less cardiovascular disease." Doctor Stephanie Seneff PhD

"Heart disease, I think, is a cholesterol deficiency problem, and in particular a cholesterol sulfate deficiency problem..." Doctor Stephanie Seneff PhD

"They take in sulfate, and they produce cholesterol sulfate in the plaque. The sulfate actually comes from homocysteine. Homocysteine is a source of sulfate. So everything is there and the intent is to produce cholesterol sulfate and it's done in the arteries feeding the heart, because it's the heart that needs the cholesterol sulfate. If [cholesterol sulfate is not produced]... you end up with heart failure." Doctor Stephanie Seneff PhD

“As a quick summary, when you expose your skin to sunshine, your skin synthesizes vitamin D3 sulfate. This form of vitamin D is water soluble, unlike oral vitamin D3 supplements, which is unsulfated. The water-soluble form can travel freely in your bloodstream, whereas the unsulfated form needs LDL (the so-called "bad" cholesterol) as a vehicle of transport. Her suspicion is that the oral non-sulfated form of vitamin D may not provide all of the same benefits as the vitamin D created in your skin from sun exposure, because it cannot be converted to vitamin D sulfate. I believe this is a very compelling reason to really make a concerted effort to get most of your vitamin D requirements from exposure to sunshine, or by using a safe tanning bed (one with electronic ballasts rather than magnetic ballasts, to avoid unnecessary exposure to EMF fields). Safe tanning beds also have less of the dangerous UVA than sunlight, while unsafe ones have more UVA than sunlight. If neither of these are feasible options, then you should take an oral vitamin D3 supplement.” Doctor Mercola speaking on the work of Doctor Stephanie Seneff

"In summary, when you eat a diet high in fructose and other sugars, it over-taxes your liver as it cannot properly make cholesterol while simultaneously processing fructose (which it turns into fat). As a result, you end up with impaired cholesterol formation, which can eventually lead to a cholesterol- and cholesterol sulfate deficiency. At that point, your body begins to form arterial plaque to compensate for this deficiency, because your platelets can produce the cholesterol sulfate your heart and brain needs within that plaque. It's a sort of backup mechanism to maintain proper heart- and brain function.” Doctor Joseph Mercola MD commenting on the cholesterol work of Doctor Stephanie Seneff

Doctor Stephanie Seneff PhD believes your heart and brain BOTH require cholesterol sulfate to function. This cholesterol sulfate is created by sunshine on your skin or in your blood stream in arterial plaque.

The aortic artery, feeding blood into your heart is often the site of arterial plaque. IMO this indicates you may not be getting enough sun and-or may have excess homocysteine in your blood.

The carotid artery, feeding blood into your brain is often the site of arterial plaque. IMO this indicates you may not be getting enough sun and-or may have excess homocysteine in your blood.

Some sulfur is obtained from cysteine resulting from the converted homocysteine. If the homocysteine is not converted this may result in your heart and-or brain running low on the critical cholesterol sulfate.
