While it won’t remove all of my “bad” cholesterol, it helps. My mother has high cholesterol too and she never has had a heart attack or stroke. Mine has been consistent at around 210-220 for over 15 years. Once it shot up to an alarming level, I went on statins. I take one that is the lowest level avail, Rosuvastatin 5 mg. It seems to be working.

I didn’t mean to be snippy but my doctor has decades of training and is more than happy to research any questions or findings I have.

@hraka13 My GP is a doctor, too. My cardiologist is a doctor, too. They both agree that the ratio is not relevant. Merck and Pfizer spent a lot of money years ago on a drug that would raise HDL. It failed because there was no benefit. Lowering LDL has a proven benefit - and you're already doing that by taking a statin.
