Hurry before the FDA bans the product. !!!

Answer 2

An on line search will give you all sorts of links for herbal remedies that are supposed to treat high cholesterol. However, if diet and exercise have not controlled high cholesterol, I suspect that herbal remedies may not do so either.

Here are a few links that have information about herbal remedies.

Answer 3

There are several reasons that the statement made by your practitioner is a gross simplification at best and a malpractice case at worst. First, it is true that many medications, prescription and otherwise, were initially based on herbal extracts, and that some still are. Aspirin is a famous example, having been initially based on white willow bark. (It is now synthesized in the lab). Digoxin is based on digitalis; the examples go on and on. However, Zoloft is NOT derived from St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) and never was. And though I am not truly certain, I can say with some confidence that Vytorin is not derived from fruit pectin! Vytorin is actually two drugs: ezetimibe and simvastatin. And statins are not exactly fruit-pectin-derived. The idea of an herb-for-medication switch moves somewhat counter to the spirit of herbal medicine in any case. The idea is to prevent disease and support the body, not stage a hostile takeover of the pharmaceutical industry. Those dime-store herbals you so often see - hawthorn for digoxin! Ragweed for Advair! St. John’s for Zoloft! – aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on. Having answered that question, I have to pose another - what training does your chiropractor have in herbs and herbal medicine (isn’t he a bone and muscle kind of guy)? Anyone whose goal it is to take you off of a mood-altering pharmaceutical is someone to keep an eye on. Going off of an SSRI is an undertaking that must be done with a certain degree of deliberation on your part. It is very difficult, and St. John’s, though it has similar action to SSRIs, cannot simply be ‘swapped’ for your Zoloft. For one thing, it’s less powerful. I certainly hope he didn’t just take you off of the Zoloft without reducing the dose first? That can make you very ill. This is the issue with herbs and herbal medicine – it’s difficult to tell who’s qualified and who isn’t. But you have good instincts! That statement sounded strange to you, and so you investigated. Good on you! There are ways to find people who are actually competent with herbs. There is an official organization in the U.S. called the AHG – that’s the American Herbalists Guild. Qualifications for certification include a certain number of clinic hours (measured in years) as well as an examination in front of their board. Anybody officially certified by their board is bound to be at least well-educated in the field. I hope this hasn’t turned you off of herbs and alternative medicine! Let your chiropractor work on your back and get an herbalist or nutritionist to talk to you about herbs and supplements, respectively.

Red Yeast Rice from a high end health food store (not the cheap W**M**t stuff (been cut too much), someplace like High Health in Scottsdale AZ, and fresh bee pollen like from http://www.beeroyalproducts.com .
