I am NOT going to take statins because of a severe reaction I had. I would rather die from the big C (coronary) than constantly worrying about a statin side effect, which in my case could have resulted in death or quadripelgia. My wife had a reaction to lipitor. She had severe chest pain which radiated to her back and mimicked a heart attack and resulted in a trip to the ER. I am currently taking a natural product, "Cholestrice", to control LDL and cholesterol. My cardiologist is on board with this. I'll have a blood draw after day 30 to see what the results are. He is a DO and has seen positive results. This product contains red yeast rice, plant sterols, pantethine, and policosanol.
