My cholesterol was a little elevated, and my GP whipped out his Rx pad to write a Rx for a statin. “Not so fast,” I told him. I made a few changes to my diet, upped my fish oil and flax seed intake, and the cholesterol came down to normal in a few months.
Same here, but I used Red Yeast Rice and Lecithin capsules. Back to normal the next test.
My former cardiologist tried to prescribe cholesterol lowering drugs for me even though he’d never tested my cholesterol level. He just ‘thought’ I probably had high cholesterol.
Me too. My doc actually told me not to change my diet and just take the pills. I ignored his advice.
