The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List
This high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Email me to get on either the “Common/Top Issues” (20 - 25% fewer pings) or “Everything” list.

Doctor told me that to raise my ‘good’ HDL I needed to eat walnuts and salmon.

I don’t like either. At least my ‘bad’ LDL is normal, whatever that means. I consider each day that I can open my eyes and get out of bed a gift, and try to live with that attitude. We’re all here temporarily and God has the exit date.
