My doc kept insisting I take a Statin. Instead I upped the Fish Oil I was already taking and added Niacin. Doc says he doesn’t understand how but the numbers are amazingly good. It is more expensive for me to do it this way but statins scare me.
Statins SHOULD scare you....pharma loves them, though, and it seems most docs do too...I had what was supposedly a “small, dense, non-buyant, LDL problem” which I was told was hereditary....with Niacin and Fish Oil...guess what....seems I got rid of it, and now have ratios (that’s what matters) to “die” for...as my doctor said!
