1. Have you come across any studies that might indicate any effect glucosamine has on blood lipid levels? Just curious because since taking it for about one and a half years (1500 mg. per day) my LDL level has gone up. Would appreciate any comment on this.
   
   
2. What are the thoughts now on eggs? Also, what are some foods that would increase HDL cholesterol?
   
   
3. We are looking for a natural alternative to coumadin...any suggestions?
   
   
4. A dear friend to me was diagnosed with cardo-miopathy several years ago. What do you suggest he could do to help his kidneys work to relieve him from the water since the lacects that he is taking aren't helping enough?
