Mikey: I am going to this center (www.hlmcenter.com) and they have great articles on there about thyroid and other things connected to it. I think this is good FREE information. My follow up appt. is Monday, I'll let you know what they find.

I've also heard what you heard about cholesterol. When my diet was awful I was at 179, when I changed it, it went down to 122. Then I started eating more good fats (coconut oil and olive oil) it went up to 166. You know what, I didn't feel better one way or the other...so go figure. Did lose 20 lbs though and that felt great.

My theory after much reading is that we need to check other things if the diet doesn't affect the levels. For me it's the thyroid. I've checked everything else and it seems to be the one thing everyone agrees on these past several years that is an issue. I don't know what else out there to check, however, I do know that the statin way is not good. We need cholesterol, so to block it doesn't make sense.
