The Lord has blessed me with many trials and troubles in life. At the time they are not much fun, but looking back, I see the lesson and the wisdom. Just for your reference, I've taught 100's of classes on health. I don't remember most of them, but I do remember the one I taught on cholesterol about 15 years ago. I've done almost all the classes for private groups except a few, and this cholesterol class was for a Rotary Club. This is the one and only time I got in a public argument over a health topic. This is a very polarizing topic and it doesn't have to be.

I was teaching on the benefits of cholesterol and the complexity and unknowns of heart disease. Basically, it was a class about not demonizing cholesterol. There was a guy in the back of the room, that could not even for the slightest moment, believe his cardiologist didn't walk on water. No matter how much research I presented from the medical journals, history, and PhD's, it was a complete mental block. It taught me a lot about the power of belief. Now here we are 15 years later, and the government is thinking about cracking open the idea that eating cholesterol isn't bad for you. I'm going to try and tackle this issue from a natural health perspective, because I know a lot of people are very confused about nutrition and it doesn't have to be confusing.Before you move on and read any more, I want you to honestly answer this question?
