still no stomach aches. I am so scared about my cholesterol after that nurse told me I was at a such high risk for a heart attack or another stroke. She is trying to have me take an injectible medicine which a lot of people report having bad side effects. Can't wait to hear what the new cardiologist will say. My antidepressant can't handle this so it is not working. Nor can my anxiety pill handle it. I have almost convinced myself that I won't make it to 76. I have been talking to God a lot and trying to find comfort. Josh Groban is still playing.
Yesterday I talked to Zeynep about the violence in the country. I went over to Cecilia's to see Prince who had been fixed the day before. He gave me a huge greeting. He really is a special blissfully happy dog.

Kiwi: The Miracle Fruit to reduce Cholesterol!
Posted on November 25, 2013
A Taiwan study on 43 subjects with high lipid levels found that just two kiwis per day could significantly reverse lipid problems. HDL increased, as did vitamin C and vitamin E levels. What’s more, their LDL dropped as well.
This study confirms a Norwegian. In that trial, two to three kiwis per day dropped triglyceride levels by 15%. They also reduced platelet aggregation by 15%. Platelet aggregation clogs your arteries and places you at a higher risk of heart attacks and blood clots.
This is great news – but it gets even better. Kiwi and its vitamin C can do even more than drugs. Actually vitamin C can lower CRP levels. CRP is one of the few inflammation markers that accurately predicts an impending heart attack. If your CRP level is high, your risk of heart attack goes up significantly.
In a study out of UC Berkeley, vitamin C lowered CRP levels when they were high, but it didn’t affect them when they were normal or low. In fact, it worked better than statins in people with high levels of CRP!
Add all of this together and you get a miracle fruit that can significantly lower your risk of heart attack. So go ahead, eat two kiwis a day. It’s a delicious way to avoid a killer heart attack.

Additionally, the number of men in the kiwi who were considered hypertensive dropped significantly.

Plant-based foods like kiwi are cholesterol-free and contain compounds that may decrease your levels of low-density lipoprotein, or "bad" cholesterol, and increase your high-density lipoprotein, or "good" cholesterol.
oh wow. kiwis are so wonderful. Later I went again. Just amazing.

Bobby

I would call your regular doctor and get a new chlesterol reading
after you have been doing the kiwi and other things for a while.

See if its changed the numbers at all. I would want to make sure
its current for the new cardiologist. Also it may be that with
the going regularly its changing the numbers and all.

Also the diet may have helped change the chlestorol

there is a risk if you take a blood thinner which I do because of my stroke. I think it is worth the risk. I am not going to have an endoscopy because I stopped having stomach aches,
I see my gp in october and ask him to test my cholesterol again.

now I am really worried about the kiwis, spinach and leafy vegetables because they are all high in vitamin k which could make my blood too thin because of the blood thinner and I would just bleed.
Bizi thinking of you. just had some red wine and maybe I can sleep

Maybe the melatonin is finally kicking in....I slept 2 nights in a row really well.
I take 20mg of the combination long acting and short acting. and then chew a 3mg short acting one that I picked up at my pdocs office. I believe it helps too.
hope the wine helped you bobby. I took a klonipin in desperation the other night....need to save those for when I really need them as I don't have a script for any more.
Do you take the klonipin to help you sleep?
