Brief Answer:
I am a Homoeopath and so my answer will be different.
Detailed Answer:
Hello friend,
I can only sympathize with you because I understand that you are fiercely brainwashed by the wrong ideas propagated by the so called modern medicine regarding cholesterol as a predecessor of serious diseases like heart attacks. I also understand that you are an adorer of two false deities of modern medicine – diet and exercise. They wrongly make you believe that if you frightfully obey the rules of these two deities, you can keep yourself healthy.
There is no proof that heart attacks are due to high cholesterol and the cholesterol plaques are making occlusion of blood vessels to cause ischemia of heart muscles. Many of the post mortem examinations of the victims of fatal heart attacks failed to prove the evidence of coronary artery occlusion theory of modern medicine.
You have given details of your blood work and other minutest details of the dietary precautions you are taking or going to take. But you have not mentioned who you are, your personal life situations, family history, your job situations etc and your reactions to all of them like your emotions, intelligence, will, memory, diligence, dispositions etc. In short you have not considered that your mind is important in keeping you healthy.
It is your mind that takes the conflicts, it is your brain that decides what all symptoms should come in to defend you from serious conditions, and it is only a part of a beneficial biological program that is manifested through your body in the form of high cholesterol or obesity.
Therefore, friend, if you are too much careful and cautious about your health, as understood from the multitude of other queries that you have forwarded, then please stop taking all the symptom suppressing and harmful chemical drugs. Turn to holistic methods of treatment like Homoeopathy. Homoeopathy takes into consideration your individualistic, genetic, constitutional features and give you remedy to keep YOU healthy.
If you have plan to adopt Homoeopathic method of treatment then, please get back to me. Then I will forward to you a case taking format to help you to prepare your case in detail. Then I will study your case and prescribe your genetic constitutional similimum remedy. That alone will keep you healthy. This I am stating from my 40 years of experiences in medicine.
1) Please do not think that people other than you who are in the place of your visit are all sick. Take the best food from the place of your visit.
2) Why should you control your cholesterol? Cholesterol is a very useful component of your body.
3) Please do not try to reduce your weight fast, it is harmful. Follow Homoeopathic methods to keep you healthy.
4) There are hundreds of fanciful diets. Follow the best suitable to your mind and body. They are not everything. Your mind is more important.
5) You select your own biscuits from thousands of brands available in the market using your own tastes and intelligence.
With Best Wishes,

Brief Answer:
your son needs different medications
Detailed Answer:
Hello friend,.
LYCOPODIUM 1000 is not prescribed for your tonsilitis. It is prescribed for YOU to keep you healthy, keep you free from all possible so called diseases including high BP etc. I took lot of struggle to study your case.
In Homoeopathy we do not treat diseases; we treat individuals only.
It is a wrong idea that tonsilitis is caused by the food or drink you take. It is all related to the mind, brain, tonsil axis, you may not understand it. By taking or not taking any food or snack you are not going to be freed from tonsilitis recurrence. LYCOPODIUM 1000 will prevent it also.
Once YOU are cured then why you should get worry about tonsilitis?
Your son may not need LYCOPODIUM. He may need a different remedy. I can prescribe his constitutional remedy only if I get his detailed case as you did in your case.
If you send his case in detail using my case recording format, which I have sent to you earlier, then I can study his case and prescribe his genetic and constitutional curative remedy, which will not only cure his tonsilitis but also innumerable other complaints you are now worried about him.
Use fresh direct query methods of the Health Care Magic.
Hope you are satisfied about my answer. In that case you can close the session by dropping a favourable review about my service.
