A few years back I had high blood pressure and blood-work that made my doctor sent a certified letter to my house for an emergency follow up. I started acupuncture and switched to red palm oil, krill oil supplements and good food as recommended by the acupuncturist. Blood-work was better than normal less than six weeks later. The doc didn't really believe it. I lost ~40 pounds on low glycemic oatmeal then found Paleo. This is the blog that got me started: http://www.paleonu.com/get-started Although arguably not so paleo, my staples are bulk bacon, bulk cheese and fish fried in bacon grease. My last blood-work: BP 117/70; Trig 73; HDL 61; LDL 126 I'm in better shape than I've ever been and wear pants that would have been tight on me at 16.
