This will shock all of us who are trying to lower our total cholesterol.
William Campbell Douglass, M.D., called "the conscience of modern medicine," makes a startling statement that your total cholesterol should be ABOVE 200.
I finally got mine down to below 200 for the first time in many years. But Dr. Douglass claims that mainstream medicine has been ordering patients to lower their cholesterol more and more until they reach that "magic" range of 160. But he himself makes sure his levels are always above 200 even aiming for 300. He says that higher cholesterol makes you less likely to die of heart attack. In fact lowering cholesterol can make heart disease worse.
This is one doctor's findings. You and your doctor should discuss this on your next visit. You be the judge. In the mean time, I continue to follow what my doctor ordered.
