    I am currently learning about eating healthy after an exstensive drug addiction and fast paced lifestlye. I like fast foods and quick eats, but I don't want to create any internal situatons with myself that I may not be awre of. I haven't had ANY check-ups or blood work in the past 8 years. Do you think I may be at risk for any illnesses or ailments?

    tamara, Based on your profile as stated above you would tend to be dehydrated , very toxic and more than likely lacking in vital minerals. suggestion would be to have your blood tested by a person who does life blood cell studies. I would think you are in a risk of numerous of factors. A persons body is an amazing thing that when put into the correct position can heal it's self. Eating healthy in todays world is not an easy task. Educate yourself, put a good plan together and stick with it. Good luck

    Cholesterol is a wax that your liver produces 1 1/2 liters of per day. If you check morbitity rates for people with low serum cholesterol you will find an alarming correlation. Just check it out on the web. Statins strip your heart of COQ-10, cause muscle loss and weakness, yet the doctors continue to push this stuff. There is such a thing as too low cholesterol, but doctors don't acknowledge this.
