I hope you can Open the Attachment because it has the lipid profile guidelines as set by the Berkeley Laboratories headed by DI put the attachment on my Palm handheld last week and I will take a careful look at it when I get the chance, for example when I wait in a queue somewhere. The reason I did not view it on my computer is that I do not have Excel and strangely enough I often use my Palm to do things my much superior computer is incapable of doing.
Thanks for the accolades* on my results.

I hope you can Open the Attachment ( now in Excel but I can resend it in Word if that would help)) because it has the lipid profile guidelines as set by the Berkeley Laboratories headed by Dr. H. Superko. He has a new book out called Before the Heart Attack Strikes, which is very informative.
Your HDL is very high (that is good news) and your Total Cholesterol is very low therefore the ratio is 2.25 to 1 which is incredible and usually only found in Athletes. My numbers are 135 Total Cholesterol and 45 HDL for a ratio of 3 to 1 (5 to 1 is considered the average risk).
However, there are many other blood factors ( most labs are not equipped to detect) that are just as important as the above. In fact, people with low cholesterol; are very often victims of heart disease because of other factors such as Homocystine, C-Reactive Protein, Lipoprotein (a), density and Fibrinogen to name a few.
On the other hand, a Dr. William Castelli did a test that is now famous and known as the Framingham Test because it was conducted in Framingham, Massachusetts, in which 25,000 people had blood tests for heart disease and then they were followed up for years. It was found that no one with total cholesterol under 150 had a heart attack.
