On Pauling Therapy but my Cholesterol is too high for my Cardiologist
Posted: Sat Dec 22, 2018 2:01 pm
It is my understanding that Pauling Therapy should help get Cholesterol down to normal levels. However, my latest lab work shows that I am not down to normal levels. My total Cholesterol is 254 mg/dL, my calculated LDL is 184 mg/dL. I haven't been taking any statins but have been taking Pauling Therapy for a few years. Although I don't agree with the levels my cardiologist wants my LDL to be (<70 mg/dL), I do think that my current level may be too high, especially since I do have CVD. He wants me to go on a statin but I don't know what to do.
Here is the supplements that I currently take and have taken for over a year now:
Upon Waking (4:30 am)
- Vitamin C: 8 g (PureBulk)
- Lysine: 5.6 g (PureBulk)
- Proline: 1.5 g (NOW)
- Nattokinase: 2,000 FU (Doctor's Best)
- Serrapeptase: 240,000 SPU (Doctor's Best)
Around 6 am
- Arginine: 3 g (PureBulk)
- Citrulline: 3 g (PureBulk)
- Magnesium: 500 mg (PureBulk), not everyday
First Meal (11 am to Noon)
- B Complex (Stop Aging Now)
- Vitamin D3: 5000 IU (Doctor's Best)
- Vitamin K2: 180 mcg as K2 (Doctor's Best)
- Ubiquinol: 100 mg (Jarrow)
- Vitamin A: 40,000 IU as palmitate (Source Naturals)
- Selenium: 200 mcg (NOW)
- Astaxanthin: 12 mg (Jarrow)
- Vitamin E: 800 IU (AC Grace Unique E)
About 1 hour before bed and 2 hours after last meal
- Vitamin C: 8 g (PureBulk)
NOTE: I can generally take 8 g of Vitamin C without having loose bowel movements but if I go to 10 g of Vitamin C, I almost always have loose bowel movements.
I thought I was doing everything right and from what I have read here, that I should be seeing better levels on my Cholesterol if taking Pauling Therapy. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any and all help,
Chuck
