Re: Question about Chol. medications

Hello Everyone,

Pharmaceutical grade Omega 3 oil of the proper strength (50 per cent
extraction) taken in proper dose has lowered cholesterol for many, many
folks (inducing many patients of mine and myself).

If you take the wrong oil it won't do a thing. Also, if the LDL just won't
go down enough, one can add capsules of Red Yeast Rice.

Some folks find policosonal helpful too. Niacin works, but you need to have
periodic blood work because it effects the liver.

much peace.
