You might want to keep monitoring your
liver to be safe.. I know statins can
cause liver problems. I would keep an
eye on that and if the numbers aren't
normal than do not go back on any
cholesterol lowering drugs. 260 is high,
but it depends on if you have any other
risks for heart failure as to whether it
will really increase your chance of a
heart attack.

Do It Naturally Posted: 06-02-05 23:49pm
Hi dan
you have many various natural options
available to you to lower your cholesterol
without having to take prescription
medication or their dangerous side
effects
lifestyle changes including what you eat,
exercise, stress factors and natural
supplements all eliminate the need for
prescription meds
there are many natural
alternatives/supplements that can help to
lower cholesterol. Some of these are
reportedly more effective in lowering
cholesterol than prescription medications,
without the dangerous side effects
these include: guggul, policosanol, red
yeast rice, pantethine etc. In addition
there are at least another 30 natural
supplements that can help to lower
cholesterol. Hope that helps.

the first thing to do is to totally ignore
the "naturalists" !!
Second, I would ask your doctor about
vytorin, it is a newer formula with both
of the major statins in it to lower both
genetic chol and self induced chol.
Until one of these natrual remedy people
offers to cover all of your medical care
after you start on their garbage, I
wouldnt waste a penny buying any of it! I
really wish there was a way to hold these
companies responsible for thier crap ads
and ponzi schemes!

Lipitor And Cholesterol Posted: 06-22-05 22:38pm
I am speaking from my own experience.
My doctor prescribed lipitor to lower my
cholesterol. I didn't take it. I
listened to the advice of my friends who
told me that I would be destroying my
liver.
To make a long story short. I had a
massive heart attack 6 months later. With
a total cholesterol level of 370. I was
only 37 years old.
bottom line. Try to find an alternative
for lipitor. There are other statins
available, such as zocor, zetia or niacin.
You should discuss with your doctor to
find out which one is the best, for your
particular situation. Dont ignore your
heart to benifit your liver, nor ignore
your liver to benefit your heart. You
need them both.
Lots of luck, health and happiness.

Aged Garlic to Lower Cholesterol! Posted: 10-03-05 02:52am
Did you know that one of the most
important health benefits of garlic is
lowering cholesterol!?
Aged garlic is the extract of fresh, whole
garlic aged in alcohol. It contains all
of the natural goodness from whole fresh
garlic, and if administered correctly,
without the unpleasant aftertaste or
odor!
I have some pages that sell aged garlic:
straussheartdrops
garlicure
try it!!!
