I've been using Crestor for a few years to manage my high cholesterol (which works very well).

I have always had high cholesterol. I run 4 days a week, I eat reasonably well . . . but I've been having 2nd thoughts about taking prescription medicine to manage my cholesterol.

1) Both of my parents have had high cholesterol (upper 200's) their entire lives. In their 60's, they are both relatively active and have no signs of heart trouble.

2) I don't have a whole lot of faith that the statin medicnes actually reduce heart disease. I know they lower cholesterol and tryglicerides effectively . .. but I'm not sure if that alone fixes the heart.

3) On a personal level, I feel that fixing the problem should be done via diet and exercise and I would like to try that.

Can anyone recommend a diet regimen that would work. Any proven "alternative" medicines. Also, if any doctors read this, I would love to hear their opinion on statin's and heart disease.

Many thanks

I just came off a 10 day fast where I drank only water and ate nothing. THe first 2 days sucked but overall it was a great way to detox my system, and it gave me lots of energy. I guess the only thing I didn't think about before I started was this: What do I eat first? This fast was not a weight-loss plan (I only lost 2 pounds anyway) but I still DON'T want to gain weight when I start eating. What's the best thing to start back with? Should I go the next week on vegetables or something? I just don't want to gain weight because my weight is ideal for me right now.

I'm going to a new doctor who offers this type of treatment (among others). What is a medical workup? When is it used? I think it may be an alternative treatment so thats why I'm classifying it under "alternative medicine" but I really dont know.

Theres a site:

http://www.truehealth.org/break02.html

It tells how eating fish constantly can cure it. I can believe it because no side effects that cause more health problems, It is natural what god made, and it helps with the Brain.

It's like giving the brain a message until it's better. Not just eat it one day but for 4 months.

Do you think keep eating vitamins, fish, or Omega3 that helps with the brain for 4 months could restore the chemicals in the brain.

I've got some tricky knee caps and my husband and I would like to have a baby (nope, not pregnant yet). I'm doing exercises to strengthen my legs (which is the best treatment for me at the time being), so this is a question specifically for the pain. I know if I do become pregnant there won't be much I can take other than a bit of tylenol. What else can I do to cope with the pain when the time comes?
