Answer 2

I all so was taking Lipitor for cholesterol, but then my doctor switched me to Caduet. A combination Cholesterol and High Blood Pressure medication, for several years. I have not experienced any more than normal short term memory loss. My long term memory is just find. Now because of financial and no medical I can not afford to take that medication. and still see no change. I have also heard on the news within the last month or so that the cholesterol medications do not give appreciably any major cholesterol lowering capabilities to warrant the taking of these drugs. And it is not a life or death situation. They feel it is just a ruse by the pharmaceutical company's to push these drugs on people in order to make themselves more money. Diet and exercise will do the same thing and better. And you can keep the money in your pocketbook.

Answer 3

There's some evidence that red rice may lower cholesterol. I seem to remember that recent studies have shown that garlic doesn't do much (but doesn't hurt).

While all meds have side effects, only a very few statin patients have the "dangerous side effects" that mrchristopherslc wrote about. I know numerous patients that have been on high dose statins with NO side effects.

The link between cholesterol and coronary/carotid/peripheral arterial disease is well proven. It's only doubted by a handful of fringe "scientists". Who should you believe, the world medical community or some conspiracy theorists?

Answer 4

Don't believe all the cholesterol nonsense. That cholesterol is bad is a big bunch of non-sense.

The drug companies would love you to take their statin medications, but they have really dangerous side effects.

Listed below are a few links that will provide you with some realistic information about cholesterol.

Here is a list of facts about cholesterol you may not be aware of. You can find a link which contains expanded information for each point listed in the reference section under 1.

1 Cholesterol is not a deadly poison, but a substance vital to the cells of all mammals. There are no such things as good or bad cholesterol, but mental stress, physical activity and change of body weight may influence the level of blood cholesterol. A high cholesterol is not dangerous by itself, but may reflect an unhealthy condition, or it may be totally innocent.

2 A high blood cholesterol is said to promote atherosclerosis and thus also coronary heart disease. But many studies have shown that people whose blood cholesterol is low become just as atherosclerotic as people whose cholesterol is high.

3 Your body produces three to four times more cholesterol than you eat. The production of cholesterol increases when you eat little cholesterol and decreases when you eat much. This explains why the ”prudent” diet cannot lower cholesterol more than on average a few per cent.

4 There is no evidence that too much animal fat and cholesterol in the diet promotes atherosclerosis or heart attacks. For instance, more than twenty studies have shown that people who have had a heart attack haven't eaten more fat of any kind than other people, and degree of atherosclerosis at autopsy is unrelated with the diet.

5 The only effective way to lower cholesterol is with drugs, but neither heart mortality or total mortality have been improved with drugs the effect of which is cholesterol-lowering only. On the contrary, these drugs are dangerous to your health and may shorten your life.

6 The new cholesterol-lowering drugs, the statins, do prevent cardio-vascular disease, but this is due to other mechanisms than cholesterol-lowering. Unfortunately, they also stimulate cancer in rodents, disturb the functions of the muscles, the heart and the brain and pregnant women taking statins may give birth to children with malformations more severe than those seen after thalidomide.

7 Many of these facts have been presented in scientific journals and books for decades but are rarely told to the public by the proponents of the diet-heart idea.

8 The reason why laymen, doctors and most scientists have been misled is because opposing and disagreeing results are systematically ignored or misquoted in the scientific press.

Answer 5

Garlic capsules lower cholesterol.
so does Red Yeast Rice.

Answer 6

I have been taking Lipitor and my doctor told me to take only 1/2 a pill a day. I don't really like taking perscription drugs at all so a friend recommended a natural supplement instead. I have been using LIPO TRIM which is doing a great job for me now. I hope it helps you too.
