Discussion:

Why does the body produce cholesterol and what happens to it in the body?

The body produces cholesterol for a number of reasons; to produce sex hormones, nerve function,  to produce vitamin D, and to keep the blood platelets from clumping and sticking together.  80% of the body’s cholesterol is produced by the liver, which leaves only 20% to be obtained from the diet. 

• A vitamin D deficiency may cause elevated levels of cholesterol.

• A high fungal level in the body may cause elevated cholesterol. Check out "knowthecause.com"

• Thick and sticky blood may cause elevated cholesterol levels.

• Dehydration may cause elevated cholesterol levels.

• Low thyroid function can cause elevated cholesterol.

Artichoke Extract:

Artichoke extract safely stimulates the liver’s bile flow. Bile aides in the digestion and absorption of fats. Bile acids are natural detergents that liquefy fats. Bile also helps to soften the stool and helps to keep the small intestine free of parasites and other unhealthy microorganisms.*

Artichoke extract works in two ways when it comes to lowering cholesterol and triglycerides, first by increasing the bile flow from the liver, which helps in the elimination of excess cholesterol and then by inactivating or inhibiting the enzyme responsible for cholesterol production.*

Cayenne Pepper:

Cayenne like garlic has been used for many years to enhance human health. They have been used to treat infection, particularly respiratory and sinus infections, reduce chance of stroke, lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and enhance circulation. They aide in cholesterol and blood pressure reduction by inhibiting platelet aggregation. *

Guggul:

Guggul resin is a substance that comes from the Mukul Myrrh shrub found in India and Pakistan. It reduces cholesterol by increasing the livers ability to metabolize LDL(oxidized cholesterol). Guggul also inhibits platelet aggregation thereby reducing the chance of stroke or embolism.*

Policosanol:

Policosanol is a blend of compounds isolated from natural plant waxes.

In studies these waxes help to keep the blood platelets from sticking together *

Red Yeast Rice:

Red yeast rice inhibits the synthesis of cholesterol made by the liver similar to prescription cholesterol lowering

drugs. I feel this product should beused with caution. All the material that I have read on this product brings me

to the conclusion that I personally would not want to take this product. This is America however and we have the

right (at least for now) to chose what we want to do for our health. If this product suites your needs then you

 have the right to buy it. *

Kelation Plus Packets:

Chelation Therapy is a liquid solution of a synthetic amino acid called EDTA that is administered intravenously

for the purpose of removing lead from lead poisoning victims. They found however that is also dissolves the

calcium that causes the plaque to stick on the artery walls and reduces heavy metal toxicity. Many people

are finding relief from arteriosclerosis by using Chelation therapy. You can usually find a Doctor in your area

that gives the intravenous form of Chelation therapy. For those people that are not in desperate need of the

intravenous form of chelation or just want to keep arterial plaque down they can use the oral form that is an easy

one per day packet.  Manufactures instructions recommend that you use this product for at least 3 months that

is 6 boxes of Kelation Plus. Each box costs $ 29.99 and lasts 15 days. Six boxes cost approximately $ 180.00.

One intravenous Chelation treatment costs around $ 100.00 and it is recommended that you take 20-30 treatments in the beginning, then 1-2 per month for maintenance. Each treatment lasts around 2-3 hours. The
