There are many reasons why the medical profession design a cholesterol lowering medication that can be taken in a capsule however bizarre as it seems they do not necessarily revolve around improving your health! If you want to improve your health as well then cholesterol lowering has to start with your gut not a capsule!
This study from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition is an example of what I mean. It tested the effect of refined colostrum, which is food for your healthy bowel bugs and will restore them when due to illness or lifestyle your bowel may be out of balance. As Hippocrates said: “All disease begins in your bowel” You only have to trawl the internet to see the myriad of ways improved digestive function improves your health. Cholesterol lowering is just one benefit. Anyway have a look at the results and judge for yourself. Then ask me how you can feed your bowel bugs with 10% discount to saythanks for reading my article
Participants included men and women aged from 25 to 70yrs with a total cholesterol between 5.44-6.99 mmol/L who were not receiving cholesterol-lowering medication. They received 5 g daily of the powder for 6wks.
Results: The concentration at 6 wk was significantly different from that in the placebo group This reduction was largely due to a decrease in LDL cholesterol in the treated group from baseline (4.12 _ 0.6 mmol/L) at 3 wk (3.92 _ 0.7 mmol/L, P_0.05) and at 6 wk (3.84_0.6 mmol/L, P_0.05); the 6-wk concentration differed significantly between the treatment and placebo groups (P _ 0.05). We observed no significant changes in the placebo group or in any other lipid indexes or markers associated with hepatorenal or cardiovascular function.
Conclusion: Consumption of bovine derived Immunoglobulins appears to positively modulate the primary lipid indexes associated with cardiovascular disease. AmJ Clin Nutr 2005;81:792-8
