My doctor is not making me take a statin. I am allergic to over 49 different medications statins, seizure meds and a bunch of other medications. Leqvio by itself dropped mine by over 100 points. I was at 325. I am at 195. I get my second shot in October. I still do not eat red meat or pork.
Wild caught fish the other fish farm raised has antibiotics and hormones just like red meat. Pork is nasty if you know what pigs eat and they can’t sweat so the poison stays in the meats. Pigs are also used in land fills because they will eat anything.

Excuse me I mistyped I am only allowed wild caught fish and meats that have been grain feed and hormone free.
I do not eat pork. After going through RN school and what we learned about pork is I quit eating it my choice. While one person says great things about pork some of us prefer not to eat it. As was explained to us while in RN school by the dietician (one of our requirements) the toxins build up in the meat and since pigs have thick skin they do not sweat the toxins out so it builds up in the meat. There was a book that we had to read that went more in deepth about pigs. I don’t remember the name it’s in long term storage. This is my preference.

I'm sorry, but that is not all true. Pigs no longer can eat slop or stuff which isn't monitored - if you live in the USA. It is all regulated and lean pork is a tremendous way to get iron and other nutrients. You may not like the idea of it, but it is safe. No more salmonella either. Farm raised fish does not necessarily have antibiotics and hormones, nor does meat if you get it from the safe places. Read your labels.
Wild caught fish does NOT have antibiotics or hormones. Only farm raised - and that's if they do that. (which they do!). More companies are turning away from the hormones and antibiotics. Health Food stores are a good source for injection free meats/fishes.
I take LEVQIO for Vascular Coronary Disease and not for Cholesterol. It is inherited and a certain lipid "LPa" must be kept as low as possible. Its helping. I am super sensitive to drugs and I like the LEVQIO. Its the only one I feel is "safe." (safe-ish, LOL)
