Rather than start a new post or topic, I thought it would be easiest all around to just pick up where I left off with this one.
After being on 3 scoops of Heart technology per day, adhering to a very healthy diet and exercising regularly, I had a substantial drop in my cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar, etc. I was so pumped. I kept up with things quite well through spring and summer.
I don't know if this contributed to things or not, but in August 2008, I went down to 2 scoops of heart technology per day. Basically my diet has remained good, but I don't exercise quite as often, mainly because of back and hip problems (arthritis).
I ask you to refer to my first post in this thread for my previous numbers. When I saw my doctor in November 2008 he did more bloodwork and my cholesterol was up. He really didn't check anything other than that, but in that time (6 months) my LDL and my triglycerides both went up considerably.
I just received results of a free blood screening my job offers each February. Again, my LDL and triglycerides are up. Here is how the numbers go:
LDL: 162 (5/08), 195 (11/08), 215 (2/09)
HDL: 39 (5/08), 47 (11/08), 45 (2/09)
Triglycerides: 143 (5/08), 102 (11/08), 161 (2/09)
My glucose has remained in the low 90's, having dropped from 115 in 2/08. As I said, my doctor didn't do a vap test in November and they don't offer that through where I work, so I don't have any more current figures for those than I indicated in my original post.
I am curious what the experts here think. I think I should go back to 3 scoops of Heart Technology per day, that's for sure. Any help would be certainly appreciated.
Thanks,

2 scoops is 6000 mg vitamin C, while 3 scoops is 9000 mg. If that is all the vitamin C you are taking, then it seems likely that in your case, your cholesterol is controlled by higher amounts of vitamin C. Pauling consumed 18,000 mg (or the equivalent of 6 scoops daily) and we know from the extensive Ginter work (see the clinical studies forum for the abstracts) that total cholesterol will normalize to 180 mg/dl with "high enough" vitamin C intake. This happened to me, (180 mg/dl exactly) and our 90+ year-old atomic physicist friend (180 mg/dl exactly) , and is exactly what Pauling (Ginter) predict in HOW TO LIVE LONGER.. from good science.
Since your cholesterol is rising on 6000 mg, it is also a clue that something is causing your body to produce more cholesterol, and it could be toxic dental work, prescription drugs, etc.
Oppps You are right, you are getting even less vitamin C than I thought, and this is undoubtedly related to your measured total cholesterol. If I were you, I would purchase a bottle of 500 mg ascorbic acid tablets (with the fewest fillers, such as the Sam's club 500s) and begin supplementing the heart technology with at least a 500 mg tablet every 4 hours in between.
I'm not familiar with that drug, but you should google to see if it depletes coq10, and if so, make sure you are adding at least 200 mg coq10.
Your root canals are part of the problem - according to Dr. Levy, who believes that every root canal eventually becomes toxic. He has even shared his experience (he is a cardiologist) with patients whose heart disease reverses after their root canals are removed. We have advanced a theory here that most heart disease in humans may be because of dental work turning toxic.
