Here are some values for CHOL/HDL to compare. I've been all raw since
Jan 95. Total CHOL range 132-219. A series of values for CHOL/HDL since
Dec 95 were 2.9, in 96 1.7, 2.1, 1.9, 2.1, in 97 2.4, 2.9, 2.2, 2.5,
3.1, in 98 2.2, 2.4, 3.0, 3.0, 2.7

95  2.9 1 value only
96  2.0 avg
97  2.6 avg
98  2.7 avg

In 96 I ate mostly raw fatty fish and chicken
In 97 I began eating raw beef also.

My lab says albumin should be 3.5-5.0. Mine is in that range.

Wow, doesn't that mean 0 inflammation. Mine is usually high, last time
28, which I assume means I'm still doing some detoxing. I should mention
my age here as 70, with years of poor nutrition.

My blood pressure averaged 140/80 from 89-97. This was a period during
which I was doing a lot of releasing of repressed emotions, which I
believe affected the systolic. In 98 after I reached the end of my
emotional detoxing, the systolic dropped dramatically from 140 to 120. I
believe this is consistent with recovery from a toxic mind, ie. when the
sympthetic nervous system calms down.

Do you check your AM resting pulse upon awakening? Mine is usually
between 50-56.

Sounds like you and Melissa are indeed healthy physically AND mentally
:-)
