Hope you’re not taking statins - my cholesterol has always been “good”, but after I turned 50, a doctor told me I needed to start statins because the “Heart Association” recommended it for ALL men over 50. I told him I needed a ore compelling reason to put that poison in my body. And also mentioned they had no proof that using statins to lower cholesterol improved/extended lives. That was over 20 years ago - and another doctor recently told me that they stopped that BS recommendation because, in most cases, the statins were doing more harm than good.

Thanks for great info. I’m a very small woman, so I can only imagine what statins would do to me. Been taking for about 7 weeks.
Are you taking something instead? Eating something instead? Like Oatmeal?

Great info. I’m a small woman, weigh 112. . Just started taking them two months ago when they found high cholesterol when I was in hospiital for “Vertigo”.

I’ll finish this month’s bottle and never get them again if my very smart MD agrees. At my age, who knows?(89) Meanwhile organic oatmeal and organic almond milk from AMZ will be here by 11 tomorrow.
