Frankincense (Boswellia Seratta) used successfully for ulcerative digestive disorders for thousands of years is similar to how big pharma weakened the use of red rice yeast for cholesterol.

Pi$$es me off when you can’t use a natural supplement that big pharma decides to synthesize and then capture as their own.

Red rice yeast does lower cholesterol. Used it myself some years ago and can vouch for that.

But, while it is natural, it is still a statin. And that is why I stopped taking it. Statin’s risk is not justified to me, not for the return.
