Each of these are shown as legitimately effective from various studies:

1. Statins 2. Plant-based Ornish or Pritikin diet 3. Aged garlic 4. Pomegranate 5. EDTA or NanobacTX 6. Nattokinase 7. Lumbrokinase 8. Bergamot 9. Vitamin E tocotrienols (not tocopherols) 10. Pycnogenol with centella asiatica 11. Arteriosil (likely Rhamnan Sulfate Extract from the Green Algae Monostroma nitidum seaweed)

WOOHOO! I’m gonna start chewing 5 statins a day! The fountain of yutes!

No Vitamin D??

Reading some Freerepublic threads here you would think it cures everything

[nickcarraway]

Statins? Which have neem found to give no overall improvement in mortality?

[Mariner]

Regular exercise with balanced diet.

Didn’t medical authorities say that statin drugs were bad for you recently?
There’s something new out every month in the medical field.

My lovely and gracious Japanese wife has been shoving a clove of aged garlic in my mouth every morning for the last three or four years. I like garlic, but that stuff is NASTY. Maybe I should stop bitching about it.

Red Yeast Rice in combo with Nattokinase.

OK

Many of those are really small studies of under 100 participants.

I don’t see a lot of confirming studies.

Thanks to the steroids I have to take along with my chemotherapy my HDL is 91. When ever I’m on steroids, my HDL is above 70 non-fasting. That 91 was a fasting test. No steroids and it drops to the 40s.

The best kept medical secret is: A few years ago behind closed doors the elite medical leaders came to the following conclusion:

Now, there are no specific recommended limits for the amount of cholesterol you consume from food. But it’s still important to pay attention to the food you eat in order to keep your body’s cholesterol levels in a healthy range.

Following dietary guidelines, doctors used to recommend that you consume no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of dietary cholesterol per day — 200 mg if you had a high risk of heart disease. But in 2015, those guidelines changed:

Now, there are no specific recommended limits for the amount of cholesterol you consume from food. But it’s still important to pay attention to the food you eat in order to keep your body’s cholesterol levels in a healthy range.

Doctors now recommend that you limit the amount of harmful saturated fats, trans fats, and added sugars in your diet. You should also keep an eye on your cholesterol intake since foods that are high in cholesterol also tend to be high in saturated fats.

The guideline changes are due to research showing that dietary cholesterol itself isn’t harmful and doesn’t contribute to increases in your body’s blood cholesterol levels. Cholesterol is a natural substance that’s produced in your body and is found in animal-based foods. It’s a waxy, fatty substance that travels through your bloodstream.

Your body needs cholesterol to help build cells and produce certain hormones. Your body produces all the cholesterol it needs in the liver and intestines from fats, sugars, and proteins.

So where is all that in one capsule less than the size of an apple?

Much too late I discovered a contributer to my coronary artery disease and 50 year history of kidney stones: blood calcium levels off of the charts due to a defective parathyroid. Instead of cholesterol plaque I was depositing rocks in my blood vessels and kidneys.

[GOP Poet]

Whoa!! I need these ALL!! ;D. Thanks!!

[Right Wing Assault]

I'm in the 70s and I've been taking statins for 35 years. I had that calcium test and scored 20. I and my doctor were very happen. Was it due to statins and/or other things I do? Don't know.
