how can i have high cholesterol?!

Almost everyone who asks this question provides a list of the things they do (what they eat, exercise, etc) but 9 out of 10 of them don't mention what they drink - although you did say that you have never drank, smoked or did drugs, you didn't mention what you DO drink.

Your problem is the soft drinks or other water substitutes that you've been drinking. If you don't drink these, then your water intake is extremely low.

High cholesterol levels are caused by dehydration.

Dehydration causes the blood to thicken and become toxic and acidic. Further dehydration occurs when the blood passes through the lungs and more water is removed through the process of respiration.

When the acidic blood enters the arteries, is under a shearing pressure that causes damage to the artery walls in the form of tiny cuts and abrasions. To keep these from peeling and causing an embolism in the brain or other organ, the body produces the so-called "bad" cholesterol to cover and protect the damaged area until repairs can be made.

We don't use cholesterol from outside sources, contrary to the medical claims. Our body produces all of the cholesterol it needs. The cells, the brain and the nerve network uses cholesterol. The medical profession has separated the "types" of cholesterol because, with the proper nutrients, the body would never produce anything harmful to itself - and since arterial cholesterol can build into a life-threatening condition, then naturally, it HAS to come from somewhere else.

Actually, there is no such thing as "bad" cholesterol. This is a term that has been capitalized on by the pharmaceutical industry to sell drugs that, in many cases has caused more harm than good.

It should be noted that cholesterol levels are measured from blood taken from the veins, yet nowhere in medical literature is there a single case of cholesterol having caused obstruction of the veins. Venous blood moves far slower than arterial blood and thus would be more inclined to have cholesterol deposits if the assumption of "bad cholesterol" were accurate.

Point this out to your doctor and if he has any answer for you, it will be some complicated jargon designed to keep you in the dark. This observation was made by a qualified doctor who was a graduate of St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School of London University, where he studied under Sir Alexander Fleming, who shared the Nobel Prize for the discovery of penicillin.

Lowering your cholesterol can be done by increasing your water and salt intake and by not drinking any more dehydration-causing beverages. Click below to learn how to correct your dehydration.

It this is a hereditary thing, then taking medications the rest of your life is your option and if you do, there should be no reason for you to drop dead from high cholesterol. If your cholesterol is high, it needs treated. Work with your doctor on this.

It can take a year for the liver to recover from mono. I wouldn't take any statins and get retested in a year. At 19 and a number of 300, you have some leeway to let it repair. Before you agree to take statins, a year from now, be sure that your doctor is aware of the studies that show statins are not effective in women. While they do lower cholesterol, the largest study with women indicated that women taking statins were more likely to have a heart attack than those on a placebo. My doctor had no clue about this.

When I was 20, I had a serious illness that caused my pancreas to malfunction. Some doctors would have automatically listed me as diabetic, but as long as my numbers weren't too high, my doctor wanted to wait a year to let my pancreas recover. It did. While I do have type 2 diabetes now, it's due to insulin resistance rather than the inability of the pancreas to make insulin.
