CHOLESTEROL AND GENETIC SITE ISSUES

As you can tell my site has had a few problems. I am not going to go into what happened, but I am hoping google will help me out and give me a christmas gift of the posts that were dismantled.

Now for cholesterol issues. My last issues dealt with the disease that contributes to too little cholesterol,called abetalipoproteinemia. In this disease the carrier for cholesterol is not able to manufacture cholesterol.

I found the reason for this is the inability for cholesterol to build or synthesize in the cell,and has an inherent error.

I got to thinking and remembered a story about a little boy whose parents defied medicine and came up with an oil that was able to reverse the damage done by his medical condition.

He had a leukodysterphy in this condition the body does not have the correct molecular structure to protect the bodies myelin. Myelin is the sheath that protects the nerves. This disease is devastating in that the life span of those who have it, is altered . It is carried by the mother and effects primarily males in the family.

This oil has to be given before symptoms appear,by doing so, the disease does not effect the body and the majority of the children who receive this oil do not go on to develop the disease.

Could this oil be beneficial to those who have too much cholesterol or a genetic variant. Maybe so.

Ten years ago when I was in Italy. The guide who escourted me through Italy, her father was a physician. Said, a teaspoon of olive oil a day will keep the arteries clear.

I hope that research will continue and the medical community look into the benefits of this treatment. It just seems to be too simple of a treatment.

Before you embark on this avenue make sure you check with your physician. In the disease for Abetalipoprotenemia the treatment is to restrict triglycerides and supplement with vitamins A K D E.

The role of vitamin E in this disease in unknown. If you remember a few years back. Vitamin E was touted as a vitamin to take it protected the arteries, and then the medical community said this was not a good course of treatment and I remember my mother was taking Vit E and her doctor told her to discontinue its usage.

In my course of statin treatment I developed a myostitis and myalga(this is sore achy muscles). Statins lower the production of cholesterol by altering the bodies ability to manufacture cholesterol. The body does need cholesterol, just not in large amounts, and have the right cholesterol, and not genetic alternatives.

The course of olive oil is still under investigation by the medical community. I would keep informed on this form of treatment, and don't let it get lost in the medical shuffle.

Hope all had a Happy Thanksgiving

Stay Healthy
