actually i also had high chol at 218 and low hdl 40, also organic red rice can help to lower chol it contains many statin compounds (chol lowering drugs were copied from this).
i am not sure if all red rice types are ok for this effect though, i think it must be produced the traditional way like asians did for centuries
Thanks Stef. Gone ahead and ordered bitter lemon and niacin. Start taking these right away. Will also test for pth and vitd3oh. Share results with u.
Grateful for ur advise as always Stef. God bless
My liver and kidney function tests all came back excellent.
Stef any ideas?

hdl can be increased by niacin, the ones the makes the red skin effect, doses less than 500mg are safe
bitter melon (Momordica charantia), 1L of tea per day can lower blood glucose.this has an anticancer effect on scientific studies (it lower glucose which feeds cancer).it also has an anti hbv substance in vitro but i dont think it is potent enough or high levels enough for any real effect on hbv
also what is your vitd25oh and intact pth?vit d regulates metabolic genes, a low vit d can also be the reason of these unbalances.remember to check pth too, vitd25oh alone cannot confirm there s no vit d deficiency
