Something That Finally Works!
I lowered my total cholesterol without prescription drugs!
Woo-hoooo! My checkup today showed my cholesterol dropped from 225 to 175 since last March. I had tried a lot of different things, along with my usual low-fat diet. But my previous doctor told me his patients had good results with Red Rice Yeast. My flax seed regimen didn't drop it so I decided to try it.
As a natural statin, it has good data from researchers to do the very thing it did for me: lower cholesterol. The best part is that the capsules are fairly cheap ($8.39 per 120 caps) and NO side effects whatsoever.
The interesting thing is that the expensive statin medications have a warning not to take the Red Yeast Rice at the same time, as it can lower your blood pressure too much. That convinced me that it had some powerful, natural effects if it potentiates the prescribed drugs.
I claim this as a victory for my aging blood vessels, and also a victory against the big Pharma companies and doctors who want to put everyone on these drugs. Check out the side effects with them and it will scare you to death.
I am now ordering Omega 3 fish oil caps to push the HDL ratio into better territory and will report my results 6 months from now.
To your health....
