Well, I don't have high cholesteral, to my knoweldge anyways, but we recently found out that my husband does.  I'm new here and new to the idea that my husband has a health problem! 

 

I live in Guatemala and, unfortanitly, we have no health insurance to pay for medicines to lower his cholesterol, so I am here looking for ideas to lower it without the drugs.

 

I've found a few things as far as lowering the cholesterol naturally such as eating oatmeal, nuts, broccoli, strawberries and melons and eating more fish.  But I'm still looking for more tips and advice to help my husband's health. 

 

Hopefully, I'll find something here or at least some support and advice from other's who are suffering from this as well.
