I had the same result with statins. Tried different ones, low dose, every other day. I had every side effect in the enclosed pamphlet. I tried over a few months and was going to have to quit working and go on disability just from statins. I read a book about the different LDL particles. The small ones being bad and large fluffy ones being not so bad. My calcium score was 70. My small LDL particle score was 108, large was 22.2. I am told that people often are put on statins because of their Cholesterol numbers and LDL numbers when, in fact, a look at their particles indicates a different picture. I tend to get the side effects of medicines that the 1-10% people and some side effects are life threatening. Do I die from statibs or a heart attack?

Can anyone tell ne something natursl I can use

Currently:
My weight is good, I walk and do yoga. I just started weight resistance ecercise classes. I eat healthy. I do eat a fair amount of carbs. I take multivitamins and other suppliments.

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.
