Dedication
First, I would like to bow deeply to the thousands of patients who have helped me understand the complexities of this disease process and who need to take credit for the time spent with them in refining this protocol over many years.
All these patients over the years have been my laboratory for developing many treatment protocols through trial and error, backed by research.
I would also like to thank all the researcher scientists, lecturers and teachers who dedicate their life to helping others, and all the courageous health professionals who go against the grain of the establishment, while thinking outside the box.
A loving hug of gratitude to my wife and 4 children for their support and understanding during my professional endeavours throughout these years they are all blessed.
Finally, I deeply embrace the Divine faith that I have been blessed with, that has helped me believe in the innate healing abilities of the body, through the power of Natural healing, without chemical intervention.
A profound blessing to you all and may your healing journey be fruitful and fulfilling!

Chapter 1:The Da Vinci Cholesterol Protocol:Drop Your Cholesterol and LDL in 90 days!
As a clinician working in my clinical practice for the last 35 years, I have seen many cases of patients with high cholesterol levels, and more importantly, high LDL lipoproteins.
It appears that the number of patients seems to be increasing yearly and most of them have already started taking Statin drugs in order to control their cholesterol levels.
When I tell them that it is possible to come off these drugs and stabilize their cholesterol and LDL levels naturally, while also optimizing their overall health and wellbeing, they look at me like Im from another planet!
I understand why this is the case! I really do! If these patients, who have usually seen a few medical doctors before sitting in front of me, have been told that the only answer to their cholesterol problem is to take pills, then who am I to disagree with the mainstream?
This is one of the reasons why I wrote this book in order to give people, the information that they need to empower them to take responsibility for their health and become drug-free and healthier in the meantime.
If you KNOW what to do, then its not difficult. I have witnessed hundreds of patients stabilizing their blood fats and getting better by making the changes that I am recommending in this book. The beauty is that it does not take very long to achieve the desired results if everything I recommend in this book is implemented, then you should see permanent results in 90-days!
I sincerely hope that you become one of the lucky ones who follows through on the recommendations I give and optimizes your health when you get there, please write to me and let me know what you achieved.
Lets begin our health journey by answering some of the basic questions like, what is cholesterol? Is there bad and good cholesterol? What is the normal range? Why do we need cholesterol? and more
What is Cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a 27-carbon molecule shown in the figure 1 below. Each line in this figure represents a bond between two carbon atoms.

Its crucial to make one distinction that will be very important later; cholesterol, a steroid alcohol, can be present in two forms:
- Free cholesterol (unesterified cholesterol), which is the active form (Fig 1).
- Esterified cholesterol (this is the way it is stored in the body).
Where Do We Get Cholesterol From?
There are two ways that we can get cholesterol:
- We can ingest it from the foods that we eat ( exogenous cholesterol). About 25% of our daily intake comes from food; about 300 500mg.
- Our body synthesizes it ( endogenous cholesterol). About 75% of daily production is synthesized; about 800 1,200mg. The liver synthesizes about 20% of this, and the body cells the other 80%.
The total body stores of cholesterol are about 30 40 gm (i.e., 30,000 to 40,000 mg) and most of this resides within our cell membranes. Every cell in the body can produce cholesterol and thus very few cells require a delivery of cholesterol.
Cholesterol is required by all cell membranes, as well as to produce steroid hormones and bile acids.
When there is excess cholesterol in the body, the liver converts the cholesterol into a bile acid, and it gets excreted as bile in the stool.
Is Cholesterol Bad?
This is one of the biggest misconceptions that is often propagated by the pharmaceutical companies in order to get people to take cholesterol-lowering drugs for their own profit.
The truth is: Cholesterol is a life-saver for the body and it is absolutely good!
This is why the body produces more than 80% of our total cholesterol needs.
What is the Function of Cholesterol?
Cholesterol is one of the main building blocks of all cell membranes it is the bricks and mortar of the cells structure it helps to form the lipid bilayer of each and every cell in our body (Fig 2).

Cholesterol is vital for hormone production and therefore the entire human reproductive system is totally dependent on cholesterol. Hence, not only would you die without cholesterol, humans would die out too.
Cholesterol has four primary functions, without which we could not survive, these are:
- contributing to the structure of cell walls
- making up digestive bile acids in the intestine
- allowing the body to produce vitamin D
- enabling the body to make certain hormones.
Cholesterol is vital for digestion. The human body uses cholesterol to synthesise bile acids. Without cholesterol-rich bile salts, the human body could not absorb essential fatty acids or the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K), so serious - even life threatening - deficiencies could develop (it is interesting that nature puts cholesterol in virtually every food that contains fat providing a digestion mechanism in tandem).
