I take blood pressure medicine. It gives me BP of 120/75 instead of 155/110. If I stop taking it, my BP goes back up. Been taking it for 8 years without any side effects I’ve noticed.

My wife was prescribed statins. Lots of side effects, so she finally told the doctor to blow it out his butt. She feels much better now.

Switched to eating high fat/protein & low carbs. Lost 30 lbs. The doctor frowned when he heard my eating habits. Then the blood work came back...and he told me to keep it up, since it obviously was working for me.

Your wife is not alone, although I simply said no.

Same is true for relatives.

Statins won't let you live forever, they just make life so miserable it seems like forever.

Tell her to cut of the HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) ...it causes high cholesterol because it metabolized differently than sucrose...

HFCS is hidden in a lot of processed foods...check your labels...
