Help for my Husband
My darling husband has been playing around with LCHF except more higher carb plus high fat. We just got his cholesterol results back and they are not pretty. Doctor wants him on statins immediately. Oh course I say no, because I know how to fix this. Problem is, he is super scared he's going to be hungry a lot and honestly…

Elevated Liver Enzymes
OK my knowledgeable LCHF friends. As some of you are aware I'm undergoing cancer treatment. I have my blood work done and my liver enzymes came back as elevated. I mentioned that it might be due to how I eat, but I don't think they believed me :) Now I need more tests...CT Scan and another bone scan. Am I right that it…

Multivitamin Recommendation
Well...I have been sick since Saturday with no sign of improvement (super bad cold), so I wonder if I need to up my game with a better multivitamin. Any recommendations? I've just been taking the "one-a-day" brand, but I think I'll stop at my local food coop on the way home and see what they have. Any suggestions would be…

Leg Cramps
Ok, I know this has been covered over and over again but I have a question: I am taking my magnesium nightly and generally I haven't had any leg cramps whatsoever except for last night. Woke me up, had to get up and stretch out my calf (it tends to hit just my left leg on the left side of my calf). Sooo..what else could be…

Coconut Cream
I remember seeing once or twice reference to using coconut cream so when I was at Trader Joe's over the weekend I bought a can. Now I don't know what I should do with it except throw into a curry? :) What do you all use it for? I was thinking of using it in coffee but I love my HWC maybe a bit too much! Thanks in advance :)

C Reactive Protein is high (4.04)
Just got a call from the dr's office about my crp test since it's in the high zone. I don't have my other numbers yet but was told my cholesterol is normal as well as my blood sugar. Their advice: keep weight normal (almost there), keep blood pressure low and watch for any future type 2 diabetes. I think I don't need to…

Recommended Blood Tests
I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but both my husband and I are going in for our annual physical very soon. Besides the normal blood tests; cholesterol and glucose is there anything else you would recommend? These are the only two we seem to get each year, but maybe we are missing more important ones? You guys…
