Thanks for the share, Carlos! I've now seen a couple of articles of people playing with mixing donor and patient cells to avoid immunosuppressants. In another article, they introduced donor bone marrow cells to the recipient. Awesome stuff!

Wow---wouldn't this be wonderful!  Probably won't happen in the USA because the manufactures would lobby the government because of  there losing revenue.  LOL-----

Thank you. Doc has given medicines. Other tips from you are helpful. I was thinking about asking my doc about Omega 3 supplement  Lets see what he has to say. Will have to maintain the balance..thanks

Your Dr has probably told you about the meds available. Here are just a few more tips:

  • Eating a variety of foods, including fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
  • Limiting fat calories to 35 percent or less of total calories eaten each day.
  • Limiting foods with cholesterol in them, like egg yolks.
  • Eating foods with fiber in them, like whole grains.

Consuming foods with soluble fiber may help. For example, the pectin in apples or the soluble fiber in oatmeal or perhaps cereals like Cheerios made with it. Doing this along with exercise helped my father lower his overall cholesterol. I hope you may also find success in doing so. Best of wishes.

Hi Everybody, 

Blood work detected high cholesterol ( 212). Would you share some tips that would help me cutting my Cholesterol level. I am exercising. I need protein and cannot give up. Just completed a year post transplant. I look forward to your valuable suggestions...Hugs Bornali

BTW I posted this link on the HCV liver transplant group.  not sure how many of you saw this DR. Oz show this summer but it was a great series on mostly transplants at my hospital a real reality show.  Great DR.

Hi Stu,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Very comforting. Well, I had a drain for 4 months after the surgery associated with infections. I panicked and I remember I was scared. Things are good though I am experiencing the first one and half years jitters. Trying to stay positive. Great to meet ya. Hugs
