Vitamin C Forum

I had to do a biometric screening for the company I work for; it was a finger stick for my cholesterol levels. Are these finger stick accurate?

Here I'll nit pick at it so it sounds like the kind of yada you'll get at work.

Your HDL is at 48 and the range is >40 but we would really like to see it above 50 you know how ever protective HDL is to your system and your BAD CHOLESTEROL its almost going through the roof at 128 My god you know the range is <120 I don't know if we can even offer you insurance with levels that high. Did you see that nurse laying on the floor when you came in here she had a 93 and look how good she looks well she'll look even better when she gets off of the O2 and is able to move again. See if you can get them numbers in range the statin makers want, like whats her name on the floor there.

Seriously; there's been a great improvement and yep I'm going to say it I bet it had something to do with your Glucose metabolism, I would have like to see your insulin levels before and on the diet not that it really matters because your getting results and that's what counts. If it holds then you can say you found the key. One thing about the paleo diet if you start grunting and feel like NOT shaving it's going a little to far. Especially feeling like going to the zoo for lunch your on the edge then. (PALEO Aka: Caveman Diet)
I would classify your readings as Excellent and would make No recomendations in there regard.
