Hi Dorothy,
Try to find Udo's Choice - it has all you need (including Vit E).

Also - I agree with Hoppitt - were you fasting when the blood was taken? If not, then it could give a falsely high reading.

I had high cholesterol after the birth of my first child - and it lowered through diet - I ate an avacado everyday - olive ONLY (no other oils for 6 months!) - and I also ate a bowl of porridge (oats) everyday (with raisins and cinnamon, cuz I LIKEM'!).

Anyhow - it returned to normal in 12 weeks.

Also, stress can be a factor as well - were you under any more stress than usual, lately? If so, that might account for the sudden increase.

Take care and hope you get some more answers soon .
Lisa
