Re: Two Great Sites - ???for BelleFrom: Sallie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 30 May 2000 17:41:21 -0500 (CDT)
Belle, Can you clarify what you mean by "normal cholesterol was below 200 a number of years ago"? What are you saying is normal cholesterol now - higher or lower? All the cholesterol ranges on this site look to me to be about what Dr. Atkins and Dr. Eades (Protein Power) look for in cholesterol levels. That is if you at the total picture of all (HDL,LDL and tryclyerides and total) combined. , At Mon, 29 May 2000, Belle wrote: > >I just wanted to mention that the kathyland site was **excellent** but I >have concerns about the other site; >http://www.fertilityplus.org/faq/hormonelevels.html has some levels that >are unlike anything that most of us will ever see.
