An update on my raw food diet and cholesterol

Here are my old numbers (July 2008):

Total Cholesterol 241
HDL Level ("Good cholesterol") 51
TC/HDL Ratio 4.7
LDL Level ("Bad cholesterol") 156
Triglyceride Level 170
Glucose Level 97
HbA1c Level 6.2

And the new numbers from today:

Total Cholesterol 148
HDL Level ("Good cholesterol") 33
TC/HDL Ratio 4.4
LDL Level ("Bad cholesterol") 77
Triglyceride Level 186
Glucose Level n/a
HbA1c Level 5.6

I still have some areas to work on but all in all it is so much better. Total cholesterol down 93 points!

The Bells Palsy is gone though I live in constant fear that it could happen again. The minute I burn my tongue on something I freak out and wait the day or two for that sensation to go away - since that was the first sign of the BP for me. The only tell-tale sign that I had it is the crease (or lack of crease) from my nose to the corner of my mouth on the right side. When I smile there is no crease on that side but I have one on the other. My brother's girlfriend keeps telling me that people pay a lot of money for botox to make that happen. Snort! No one seems to notice it unless I point it out and even then they don't see it like I do (or they are trying to be polite).
