Way to raise good cholesterol naturally.

I heard one reason good chloresteral can be low is from closed or plugged valves of the gall bladder .. And to open these plugged valves pretty quickly is to drink one tablespoon pure lemon juice and one tablespoon olive oil three times a day.. Anyone heard a this hippy tonic?

I have never heard of that and I doubt if it is true. There has been much research on this and nothing raises it a signiicant amount. The drug crestor has been advertized to raise HDL. It was tried in the Jupiter study and only raised it from 42 to 46. That is not a significant amount, but enough that the major pharma advertises that fact. Pfizer blew almost 1 billion dollars trying to develop a drug to raise HDL, but it was a failure. The only way to neutralize HDL as a factor is to keep your LDL below 100. Then HDL is not as important.

So beachbody if I have good cholesterol of 43 and bad is 100 it's ok? I understand human hormones need cholesterol to properly function or something of the sort but I was told my good too low and was told to take niacin to assist in raising along with omega oils etc ..

WeBMD has reported that a small study on a treatment to lower the risks of heart attacks due to high cholesterol, showed signs of success. The treatment involves injecting a key protein in HDL into the body, which would lower the LDL cholesterol. The study found that after patients were injected with the HDL protein, the removal of LDL increased by 164%.
The study was conducted by CSL Ltd. in Parkville, Australia. They told WeBMD that while treatments like niacin and fibrates are successful in removing cholesterol from artery walls, they can take years to be effective.
