Maintaining your health and vitality
ANSWER: Let’s go back to the day that my own cholesterol went over 200. I was a flight surgeon in an F-16 fighter unit. My shield of invincibility was punctured. So I started then to look for the best options to maintain my health.Step 1 is exactly what the National Cholesterol Education Guidelines call for — A Total Lifestyle Change. That means better dietary choices, cutting out all the fried foods and sugar-laden soft drinks. I started a regular exercise program that includes free weights three days a week and aerobics three days a week.To specifically lower the cholesterol, I use a soluble fiber blend that sequesters the bile acids with viscous fiber, inhibits dietary cholesterol absorption with plant sterols, inhibits synthesis of cholesterol in the liver with a natural ingredient, and promotes the conversion of cholesterol to important metabolites.Step 2 is to detoxify my body from all the environmental pollution to which we are exposed. I use Doctor’s Choice Oral Chelation Formula, and take IV chelation treatments monthly to remove toxic metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium.Step 3 is a good vitamin, mineral, amino acid, and anti-oxidant formula to provide what is missing from our food sources.Question: Isn’t that a lot of capsules and supplements?ANSWER: I always ask my patients, “Would you rather take illness medicine or wellness medicine?” I always get a grin, because the answer is so obvious.
