At the beginning of my quest, I also discovered an Indian herb called guggul which seems to help the body metabolize and purge the cholesterol.  I believe the supplement combined with my other active changes has contributed to my reduced number.

With my annual physical set for mid-Spring, I am eager to find out if I have succeeded in getting the number below 200.  My personal goal is a total number below 180.
