are the home cholesterol test accurate? I bought one today, read it though, followed the directions to the line...
I have been inspired by this board, and have changed my lifestyle, I eat mainly vegies, low fat vegies, steamed... with other stuff.. I still drink skim milk also.. I also take 10,000 Mg of vitamin C a day, and 4,000-6,000 mg of L-Lysine, combining the Ormish and Paulling Theropy together..
I have never had my cholesterol checked, so I have no idea how high is was, with all the ultra high fat, high cholesterol foods I ate, I know it wasn't very low, my mother's last reading was 326 (been close to 400 before), she ate much better than I "used to", but she has a great HDL... anyway, my total cholesterol test came out a 16 on the chart.. after 3 people looking at it.. they came up 16... the chart started at 18, 18 equeled 120, 20=125, 22=130 etc, the messure bar was 10-70, I figured mine out to be "110 total"
I take no medications at all

I have been eating good most the time but one day a week I would eat a hige dbl cheseburger, but I cut that out 2 weeks ago..
I have not eaten ANY meats in 2 weeks, no beef, chicken or even any kind of fish..
if I do not exercise, I feel good, but 24-48 hours after I exercise, I get pains in my chest, esp at night.. I am not sure if I am over doing it or not, I am 40, 6'3 195 lbs, wear 32 pants now, was 36-38, (was 225 lbs 3 months ago).. I get exercise at work, take one of my heart rate monators to work... and I achieve 81 bpm or more for over 1 hr a day easy.. I try not to let it ever get over 150-155, I also do a weigh/cardio workout 2 times a week, along with some jogging/walking or bike riding....

Thanks you for starting this board, thanks to those who brought aboutthe reversing heart blockage through diet, and also the high vitamin C & amino programs..

I plan to to go get tests done at the clinic to get my breakdown of cholesterol, and to back the 110 up.
