Here’s a clue: If the drug has a warning like “swelling of the tongue and throat” .. this would not be a good med to take. I have been at the every edge of this occurrence, and I can tell you it’s very, very scary.
If you can’t take statins, check out a supplement called, “Citrus Bergamot”. It’s made from a plant which grows in the southern part of Italy. It is regularly stocked at most drug stores - just call around and you’ll find it.
It costs less than $40/mo - you take one capsule per day.
My cholesterol DROPPED 86 points after I had taken this supplement for 120 days (supervised by my doctor). He did not recommend the supplement; but he was willing to run the test to see if it would help me. I also got an increase of my good cholesterol of 8 points; I was already at 58.
This has totally changed my physical well being, and because of the new supplement, I have lost 3.5 pounds in the last 5 months, without having to make any great changes in my diet.
Also sayz: "Use on the skin can be carcinogenic; excessive consumption can be toxic"
Are you a doctor or do you just play one on the internet do you have a connection to the supplement company ?
