I heard that it is the lac of vitamins (e.g. Folic Acid) that causes cholesterol
buildup. Adding this to your diet helps cut down heart attacks by 50%.
Ty to get a whole food supplement (e.g. dried or fresh juices of
herbs, fruits, vegetables, grains, etc.); or go to Lorraine's site:

and buy her video and her product (barley greens and algae, etc.) to get
you started. Her 85-year-old mom got off medical drugs of about 35 years'
duration after she started the diet.

Subj: interesting info - ATHEROSCLEROSIS
Got high cholesterol maybe there is a reason!!
The body is retaining it to plug holes in the arterys.

ATHEROSCLEROSIS
How Cholesterol Plaque is Formed
Until recently, the process of atherosclerosis had many unanswered
questions: How is it that some people with high cholesterol levels
never develop atherosclerosis? Why does one artery fill with
cholesterol plaque while another remains free of disease?
Fortunately, the latest clinical research has begun to lift the
veil of mystery surrounding atherosclerosis.
Current studies indicate that atherosclerosis begins with a viral
or bacterial infection (or other injury) of the artery. Recent
reports point to an obscure germ called Chlamydia pneumoniae as the
likely bacterial culprit. In fact, one study found that 79% of the
specimens from patients undergoing coronary atherectomy (i.e., the
removal of cholesterol plaque from diseased coronary arteries)
tested positive for Chlamydia.
Once the artery is infected, the inner lining becomes inflamed --
it swells and blisters, leaking enzymes and other chemicals into
the blood stream. The body attempts to heal this damage by
depositing cholesterol and a thin layer of congealed blood over the
infected site. Unfortunately, once the infection has run its
course, the body has no way to remove the cholesterol plaque that
has built up. This is because the layer of congealed blood prevents
chemical agents in the blood stream from reaching the cholesterol
and re-dissolving it.
This scenario explains why a person's cholesterol level may be high
and yet atherosclerosis doesn't form; the artery has to suffer
viral or bacterial damage first, and then cholesterol is deposited.
