I'm not one for taking pills...never even remember to take a daily vitamin...but this would really be an incredible breakthrough for such a killer of so many.

It would be cool, but it would also reveal other currently masked problems.

People really should be doing the things that we already know are good for your heart. If a pill makes the heart disease go away, what other problems will emerge in their place in the patients who otherwise would have had the heart issues?

Isn't this why so many doctors are telling people to take 81 mg aspirin each day?

until they find that the side effect from the pill will kill you in other ways......not skeptical except as I alluded to in another post, I was disabled by doctors who put me on a med I didn't need and when taken off too suddenly it shocked my whole central nervous system and adrenals and every other system and it took me 3 years to recover and rehabilitate.............I don't trust the drug companies whatsoever

I asked a doctor one time what he thought of vitamins, and he said, "They are a waste of time if you have a good diet." I thought to myself, well DUH, if we all ate the perfect foods all the time, of course we wouldn't need vitamins....

Scary....

I guess if you take this pill then you can take Vioxx again.

I used to feel as you do, an aversion to taking pills. Then, five years ago, I had "a big one." I had a massive heart attack, but had the foresight to have it in the hospital, with lines already installed in both arms, running nitro in one and morphine in the other. What a TRIP?

Excuse me, I lost it for a minute there. Anyway, after I had my three incidents, all in one week, I started taking one pill to drive my blood pressure down to normal, and another to lower my bad cholesterol and raise my good one. I've been healthy as a horse since that challenging week.

F.Y.I.

Did you see the article the other day about CRP, C-Reactive Protein?

It will probably cause arthritis.

It might help prevent heart attacks, but the side effects will probably be worse! Just listen to the commercials for the new drugs, when they list the side effects quickly so you won't notice. I'll stick to my 81 mg low-dosage aspirin and a vitamin.

I take a number of vitamins and supplements every day, and feel 100 percent better than I did a year ago.

Vitamins C & E
Saw Palmetto
Cayenne-Garlic Capsules
Flax Seed Oil (capsules)
Olive Leaf Extract
obligatory Aspirin a day.

I also limit my intake of red meat and carbs, drink lots of fluids (no jokes about booze now, lol) and not only do I feel better, I've lost about 50 lbs as well, so I'm hoping to be in half-way decent shape when Jesus comes back.

And I fully expect to be alive to see it all happen.

I take 2 oz of alcohol per day (beer or wine) and I'll bet it does a better job of reducing heart disease than any pills.

Incidently, in anticipation of this inevitable queston, the health benefits of drinking alcohol are reversed if you save up the 2 oz per day for a whole week and then drink the 14 oz all at once.
