But not everybody agrees that this kind of evidence is enough to act upon. Until formal proof is established, this matter remains a legitimate question of judgment, which varies from one person to another.

However, the only way to obtain scientifically acceptable proof of the association between nutritional means and blood triglycerides would be to

• take a large number of persons from the same population,
• put half of them on a triglyceride reduction formula and a diet, and
• see if that half has lower triglyceride levels than the rest.

Such critical test should be performed in a three-to-five-year, $75-million study conducted, for example, by the American Heart Association. The conclusive evidence would be published as a formal proof of the role played by optimum nutrition in the process of controlling blood triglycerides.

Unfortunately, such a multi-million study has not been run yet.

Should we wait then for "conclusive" evidence, which may be years away and - too late for some of us? Can we accept probable evidence?

We need to realize that not taking a stand, insisting on waiting until all the evidence is in, is itself - a position and a recommendation! Not taking a stand is not really the neutral position it is made out to be.

On the other hand, physicians like to pretend, and many have kidded themselves into believing, that whatever they espouse has been "scientifically proved."

Nonsense!

A great deal of what established medicine recommends today with good conscience is not formally "proved"! In other words, in medicine it is not uncommon to recommend measures for which only substantial evidence exists.

Example No. 1:
Many doctors have for years been recommending the lowering of blood cholesterol because this would probably help prevent coronary heart disease, but this was not "proved" until 1984, and then for only a selected category of patient.

And only in early 1985 did a panel of 13 experts convened as part of a National Institutes of Health "consensus conference" conclude "beyond a reasonable doubt" that lowering elevated blood cholesterol levels would reduce the risk of heart attacks.

In fact, "beyond a reasonable doubt" means "with a high order of probability." Surely this is not formal proof. It's a consensus decision.

Example No. 2:
The formal proof on the health benefits of exerciss is not yet in, yet practically all physicians recommend it. And they are right to do so, because the probable evidence is excellent.

The key question for much good nutritional advice is not whether proof is at hand, but what is the order of probability that the advice is correct.

Here comes the major obstacle to any change - 'psychosclerosis', in other words, the "hardening or narrowing of the attitude."

'Psychosclerosis' is usually rooted in your fear of change. After so many years of being in a comfort zone (read: in love with your old dietary and lifestyle habits), you are ready to defend it against anything new or different.

You will try to find any possible excuse to reject the need for a change.

Most probably, you will use all your intelligence to find fault with the nutritional approach to triglycerides. As an idea quite different from the typical medical treatment, it may be easily refused.

However, in order to make positive changes in your health, you need more flexibility in considering other options. The willingness to consider new methods will enble you to see much more of what is possible for you.

Therefore, if you really want to lower triglycerides, you must become less rigid in your ideas about your

• diet,
• lifestyle,
• nutritional supplementation, and
• what is possible for you.

Instead of dwelling on all the reasons why this method would NOT work for you, concentrate on why it would. Do not act as your own prosecuting attorney building the case against yourself.

It starts with changing your thinking from "whether" to "how."

Begin to focus on "how" you are going to reduce your blood lipid levels and, simultaneously, you will stop considering whether it is possible or not. In this way, your entire attitude toward your old, more comfortable dietary and lifestyle habits will begin to change for the better.

At Full of Health, we are sure that this simple method - so simple that, at first, its simplicity makes you difficult to believe - will do as much for you as it has done for our clients and customers.
