It can be done! I would rather try to do it the natural way than to rely on a synthetic substance. Great blog!<br/>Tim I got off of a statin prescription. It can be done!

I have refused statins for 15 years and will continue to refuse them. I also refused HRT, turned out to be right about that, eschewed the low-fat diet to ward off heart disease, turned out to be right about that, too. If you look into the history of acceptable cholesterol numbers, you find that "they" keep lowering them. I wonder how many healthy humans would actually have the acceptable numbers without drugs. I think you are correct to add the natural measures and retest. My cholesterol has always been in the 230-260 range, with very high HDL.

That’s what we’ve all been “told,” but is it absolutely necessary that LDL be less than 100? That was my question.

If it was 120 that might be one thing, but 170 is more than a little high. I think it’s absolutely necessary that you get it down some.

I get retested this summer…you’re scaring me now!
