Advise thyroid and..: You are hypothyroid; sometimes this can respond to taking iodine and detoxification but taking natural thyroid hormone is a safe ; easy way to feel better. High cholesterol is often due to being hypothyroid so treating your thyroid should lower your cholesterol. Diet, exercise ; supplements can also lower cholesterol see http://abt.Cm/1biokmw ; http://bit.Ly/13o0nkq ; http://huff.To/11tptid.

Cholesterol high: High total cholesterol and very high LDL are the chief concerns. Your thyroid levels seem satisfactory. At age 67, you likely have been living with this lipid profile for years. Modifying diet to very low saturated fats, very low sugar, very little refined carbs, higher intake of antioxidant fruits and veggies will help. Omega 3 will help. However, the high LDL is worrisome and medication needed
