@razelrosey I grew up in a home where my parents were distributors of a company that had vitamins, minerals, supplements ….. etc. I had access to everything and took it (mostly to humor my parents). When I was 18 years old I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. My mother had difficulty with high cholesterol and high triglycerides her whole life. In our cases the “natural” remedies did not make a difference. Insulin and medications were required. My father had the opposite experience. My dad had A-fib. As he became older a doctor wanted him to take a blood thinner and low dose aspirin as a preventive for stoke. He filled the prescription but didn’t take it. He used vitamins and supplements instead. Dad’s resulting blood work was excellent. I’m not saying vitamins & supplements or medications are bad. I think our conditions need to be assessed on an individual basis with treatment tailor made to the situation. I think traditional Western medicine often overlooks vitamins & supplements also dietary & exercise interventions. Sometimes a broader more complete approach is worth considering. How is your pre-diabetes and high cholesterol being dealt with now?
