Cholesterol is a fat like substance that circulates in the blood and is produced by the body from dietary cholesterol and saturated fats in food. Cholesterol is not harmful if kept within acceptable limits.
It is used by the body to perform a variety of vital functions, including building and maintaining cell membranes, hormone synthesis, and the manufacture of Vitamin D. It is only when blood cholesterol levels become too high, that too much cholesterol can become a problem
The body manufactures two types of cholesterol - LDL (which is seen as a ’bad’ form of cholesterol) and HDL (which is seen as a ’good’ form of cholesterol).
When LDL levels are too high, this leads to a buildup of plaque in the arteries, with an increased risk of heart attack and atherosclerosis. Healthy levels of HDL will help to clean away cholesterol in the arteries before it has a chance to build up.
In order to maintain healthy levels, we need to keep the LDL levels down and the HDL levels up.
What are the symptoms of High Cholesterol?
High cholesterol levels often exist without any significant symptoms and many people only discover the problem after they have had heart problems like angina or even a heart attack.
If your cholesterol levels are very high, you may notice small yellow nodules beneath the skin of your eyes, eyebrows or elbows. Although it is possible to do a home test (obtainable from your pharmacy), these tests only measure total blood cholesterol levels and do not measure HDL.
The best way to find out whether you have high cholesterol levels is to visit your doctor, homeopath, naturopath or other health care provider.
Healthy adults should have their cholesterol levels measured at least every five years and more frequently if they are overweight, already have a cholesterol problem or if there is a family history of heart disease or high cholesterol.
What causes High Cholesterol Levels?
There is a definite link between high cholesterol levels and a diet high in dietary cholesterol and saturated fat, although genetic factors also play an important role. Smoking, being overweight and insufficient exercise can also contribute to high cholesterol levels.
How is it usually treated?
It is very important to take steps to control your cholesterol levels. If it is left untreated, high cholesterol can result in heart disease or even stroke.
The good news is that high cholesterol can be well controlled by combining a healthy lifestyle with the correct medical treatment.
This can include synthetic prescription medication, natural remedies or a combination of both. If you are already taking prescription medication to control cholesterol levels, it is important to consult your doctor before making any changes.
Synthetic prescription medication for High Cholesterol.
In response to soaring rates of high cholesterol and atherosclerosis, the pharmaceutical companies have produced a class of drugs which are collectively known as "statins".
The statins have a one dimensional effect of reducing the body’s ability to synthesize cholesterol. They do not, however, distinguish between the ’bad’ cholesterol (LDL) and the ’good’ cholesterol (HDL) and can also reduce levels of Co-enzyme Q10 and L-carnitine, two very important molecules which are involved in energy production and fat metabolism.
Myalgia and even stomach, lung and liver tumors have also been associated with the use of these drugs. It is very important that people who are taking prescription medication for high cholesterol be regularly monitored by their doctor.

"High cholesterol runs in my family, but as usual I thought I would never have that problem. When my doctor told me that I had this problem I realized that I had to make some changes. I believe in natural medicine and my doctor knows this so she agreed to let me try your product which I found on the internet. After only one month there was an improvement and after two months my cholesterol levels were down to normal. I am very happy with this product and can recommend it to anyone with a similar problem." Joe, S
"I was taking prescription drugs which I don’t agree with but was not sure about natural remedies for such a serious thing as high cholesterol. I tried Cholesto-Rite with the permission of my doctor and can really say that it works with no side effects as well. I am so happy that I am also going to try Mindsoothe for my depression instead of Prozac which gives me so many problems. Thanks for all the advice and support which you gave me in the emails." Fran, K
"I decided to try Herbal Remedies. I searched Google and found that Cholesto-Rite contained two of the ingredients I was looking for (guggulu and red yeast rice), so I decided to take two pills a day. Within a few months, I couldn’t believe the difference, and my doctor wanted to know what changes I had made in my diet. Of course, this was 2 years ago. I still take Cholesto-Rite, watch my diet, and exercise. Thank you, Native Remedies. You have helped me deal with my health ...naturally and safely!"Maya N.

(Monascus purpurea) is an ancient Chinese remedy that has been used for centuries. Containing natural statins, Monascus purpurea has been shown to maintain cholesterol within normal ranges when added to the diet. (Heber D, Yip I, Ashley JM, et al. “Cholesterol-lowering effects of a proprietary Chinese red-yeast-rice dietary supplement”. Am J Clin Nutr. 1999;69:231–236). Furthermore, in recent studies, this herb was shown to support normal levels of fats in the bloodstream (Lin CC, Li TC, Lai MM et al. “Efficacy and safety of Monascus purpureus Went rice in subjects with hyperlipidemia”. Eur J Endocrinol. 2005;153:679-86). (Huang CF, Li TC, Lin CC, et al. “Efficacy of Monascus purpureus Went rice on lowering lipid ratios in hypercholesterolemic patients”. Eur J Cardiovasc Prev Rehabil. 2007;14:438-440)
Gugulipid
(Commiphora mukul gum resin) has been used therapeutically for hundreds of years. This small, bushy tree grows in arid regions of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, and produces a yellowish gum resin in ducts located throughout its bark. The active compounds in gugulipid are E- and Z-guggulsterone and are believed to have antioxidant effects. (Singh RB, Niaz MA, Ghosh S. “Hypolipidemic and antioxidant effects of Commiphora mukul as an adjunct to dietary therapy in patients with hyper-cholesterolemia”. Cardiovasc Drugs Ther. 1994;8:659–664). Furthermore, Commiphora mukul has been shown to be supportive of systemic health, with special regards to HDL-cholesterol. (Verma SK, Bordia A. “Effect of Commiphora mukul (gum guggulu) in patients of hyperlipidemia with special reference to HDL-cholesterol”. Indian J Med Res. 1988;87:356–360.) (Szapary PO, Wolfe ML, Bloedon LT, et al. “Guggulipid for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia: a randomized controlled trial”. JAMA. 2003;290:765-72)
Rooibos
(Aspalathus linearis) is a prized herb found only on the slopes of the Cedarberg Mountains in the Western Cape of South Africa, and has been used as a natural remedy for thousands of years by the indigenous people of that area. Rooibos has a high mineral content including Vitamin C, Alphahydroxy Acid, potassium, copper, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, manganese and fluoride. These minerals have been shown to have great benefit with regards to the maintenance of healthy cholesterol levels as well as keeping blood pressure within the normal range. (Freeland-Graves, J. H., et al, 1982: “Effects of zinc supplementation on plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and zinc”. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 35:988)
