I have been very successful bringing down high cholesterol with flushes. Take a peek at the cholesterol forum and see for yourself. In regards to your question, you might want to try a little more OO, 3/4 cup instead of a 1/2 cup. You also might want to do some prep work in the regards of a parasite cleanse. Most people do have parastites and don't know it. I thought paragone worked well for me.
