Lecithin does the same thing for pennies a dose.
You can buy it without prescription at any health-food
store or online.

Also, no side effects.

I started taking red rice yeast, a natural statin, about 7 years ago. Along with fish oil, and niacin.

My cholesterol dropped from 248 to 195, with a high ratio of HDL (good) to LDL (bad) cholesterol. It has been the same ever since.

From the end of the article:

"This research study was supported by funding from the National Institutes of Health, Astra Zeneca and Pfizer. "

Feel free to draw your own conclusions. I have.

Want your cholesterol numbers to go down?

Walk 20-30 minutes outside with a lot of your skin exposed to decent sunlight.

YOur body will convert cholesterol into vitamin D. Not only do you decrease cholesterol, you increase vitamin D, essential for your immune system to function properly and efficiently.

Studies show that higher cholesterol could slash your stroke risk by nearly 300%!
William Campbell Douglass, M.D.
Keeping cholesterol levels HIGHER can...
• Revive your sex drive...
• Lower your likelihood of cancer...
• Improve your brain function...
• And make you far less likely to die!
That’s because of one simple truth: Cholesterol is not your enemy!
1. HIGHER cholesterol makes you far less likely to die...
FACT: Lowering cholesterol can make heart disease worse. A review of medical studies on cholesterol and mortality in heart patients found that lower cholesterol levels led to death––not survival, like the drug companies want you to think.
FACT: Low cholesterol can trigger the deadliest kind of stroke. It’s called a massive stroke and it happens when blood vessels in your brain are so weak, they burst open. Any cholesterol count below 200 is a red flag for this kind of stroke.
FACT: Low cholesterol may raise your cancer risk. Yes, a new study actually links low LDL levels with an increased risk of developing cancer. And it’s not the first one. In fact, more than 20 studies have been done on cholesterol and cancer. And the overall majority linked cancer with low cholesterol!
How could all this be so? For the same reason that your body makes its own cholesterol. It’s a vital nutrient! Cholesterol is a necessary building block for your immune system and especially your brain cells. In fact...
2. HIGHER cholesterol may improve your memory, stave off depression and even protect you from Alzheimer’s...
Believe it or not, healthy brain cells are chock full of cholesterol. Yup, 25% of your body’s cholesterol is in your brain. It fuels the electrical impulses that make thinking possible. Plus, studies show...
FACT: Low cholesterol impairs brain function. It’s been linked to depression. And cholesterol-lowering drugs have been shown to trigger memory loss. (Drug companies want us to forget this — and we may – if we keep taking statin drugs!)
FACT: Low cholesterol is linked to Alzheimer’s. The eminent researcher Iwo J. Bohr recently published a peer-reviewed paper on the subject. He points out that Alzheimer’s patients typically have lower cholesterol and suggests that a great way to prevent the disease may be to eat a high cholesterol diet.
FACT: Low cholesterol is even linked to suicide ––and it’s not just because folks are fed up with celery and tofu! The real reason is probably that low cholesterol literally makes you crazy!
And now for some upbeat news...
3. HIGHER cholesterol could super-charge anyone’s sex life...
Why? Because cholesterol is the “raw material” for your sex hormones. Without it, you can’t manufacture testosterone, women can’t make estrogen––and none of us would have any more sex drive than an earthworm!
Now aren’t you ecstatic
that your cholesterol is over 200?
If it isn’t, think of all the fun you’ll have getting it back up to healthy levels!
