8. I know a Dr who is pushing it.

The lab tests numbers for high cholesterol have changed in recent years.
Used to be 240 and below was "normal", now it is 200.
Mr. Dixie's doc was pushing statins when his level was 204.
Really pushing.
Mr. D refused, changed his diet to include oatmeal, fresh raw carrots, celery and apples, and no beef.
( Meat is a very small part of our diet)
6 mos. later the lab results were 173, along with HDL & LDL well with in normal ranges.
Doc never said a word..not one word..about the sharp decrease.
Mr. Dixie has a new found respect for the wonders of diet.
