Default high cholesterol

hi everyone-well i have heart attacks and deaths on both sides of my family.my granny on my moms side had her 1st heart attack at 38 and my uncle at 34.my dad had a triple by pass at 49 and died at 59.mom passes when she was 52.so i got sick and got heavier and heavier and got to 245 and had so much pain(i am 5 foot 4) and a granny of 7.my blood pressure was 150/100 and put on lipitor and on arthrits meds.i had to move from our big house to a flat,no stairs mobile home.i had to change my ways.i was threatened with diabetes medication. the dr. said no sugar,no salt and low fat. i did what u are-went to my old ways.the hippy ways-turned vegetarian,then vegan,then on the new yr.-i went raw .raw foodist.i have lost 60 pounds since and off all meds. i feel really good like a young gal.the thing about the raw foodismn is there is alot of nuts in all the recipes so those u have to go easy on.thats sort of extreme-my answer but it sure worked for me.taylor2
