Given the importance of low cholesterol and low triglycerides to heart health, why would you seek to avoid proven medical solutions?

An example of dangerous self medication may be as you stated ... you started taking fish oil supplements and have heart flutters ... was this confirmed by a PCP or cardiologist?
