20 months ago I had a small TIA. Just
blanked my memory for about 30 minutes. My
husband phoned our Doctor and she said
that if I had any more problem, I should
visit her surgery. As I was ok I did not
immediately go to see her. Friends
insisted that I should see a Doctor so I
made an appointment. I had a blood test
and my cholesteral was 8.5.
I was asked if I would like to be
prescribed with cholesteral lowering
tablets, and as I was worried about the
TIA, I agreed. Since then I have read
reports that statins destroy the liver,
and now wish that I had not started on
them. My cholesteral in down to 5.5. I
also take aspirin. I eat a healthy diet,
go to a gym 3 times a week and play lawn
bowls 3 times a week.
Can I come off the statins or am I on them
for life?

i dont think you should have to be on them
for life. try just slowly weaning yourself
off them. i hope that helps. you may want
to look into diet changes too and
cleansing out your body.,

this is cheaper than going to the store
and finding all the pricey products to
clean you out.
..there are cleases that take 3 months
but that can be pricy.... A good place to
start is with what is called the 3 day
cleanse. Start with 16oz. of prune juice
(pure and not from concentrate..some
brands are not true prune juice but a
prune and water extract..you dont want
that...if you can find a brand with pulp
thats great) first thing in the morning,
then, 8 oz. of apple juice 30 minutes
later, and 8 oz. of distilled water after
that; repeating the juice and distilled
water each 30 minutes throughout the day.
One gallon of apple juice is consumed each
day. The juice should be as pure as
possible..If you can juice your own
great...if not find the purest brand...no
added anything..you may have to go to the
health food store. Frozen concentrates are
not to be used because they have been
cooked. If you get too hungry (which most
people dont) you can eat some raw apple
but you need to make sure to chew it till
it is juice. Also each drink you take of
juice needs to be chewed and swished
around in the mouth in order to mix it
with saliva..if not you will miss about
1/3 of the healing properties of the
juice. If you dont want to use apple..
you can use grape juice with the same
procedure. Only use one kind of fruit for
all three days...dont mix apples and
grapes etc. Also each of the three days
take 1 tablespoon of pure olive oil to
lubricate the bile duct. The fourth day
start back on solids slow with some soft
fruit and then raw vegetables later in the
day. Then after that eat as healthy as
possible.
Sometimes this give you diarhea pretty bad
especially if its your first time...you
may want to do it on a few days off work.
It is recommeded that it be done once a
month. As you cleanse the diarhea will
lessen because there will be less toxins
in the system. Some people get constipated
during the cleanse. If that happens drink
more prune juice in addition to the 16oz
or get a bowel cleanser from the
healthfood store untill you are going
again.
if you want info on kombucha I can get
that for you too--its stored in my email.
