For decades, if you asked your doctor what your odds were of suffering a heart attack, the answer would turn on a number: your cholesterol level.
Now the nation’s first new heart disease prevention guidelines in a decade take a very different approach, focusing more broadly on risk and moving away from specific targets for cholesterol.
The guidance offers doctors a new formula for estimating risk that includes age, gender, race and factors such as whether someone smokes.

How long have you been taking it and how did you hear about it?
What would a doctor do to rid the body of the fungus?
I've been taking relatively high doses of statins since I noticed a yellowish patch (xanthelasma) on my eyelid. Since I've been taking statins, the yellow patch has completely disappeared. I'd guess that the same process is happening in my arteries. Given my family history, I don't think I have much to lose by taking a statin. The worst that might happen is that I could die prematurely -- which was going to happen anyway without statins.
I started taking fish oil a couple of years ago and my cholesterol levels dropped.
Gosh, what's wrong with this picture?
Your triglyceride levels should drop like a rock but I don't know why cholesterol would...In fact, it has pretty conclusively been shown to raise HDL cholesterol (the good kind).
Krill?
My diet didn't get better, and I think I exercise a little less. (Bad, I know...)
No - regular fish oil. Not sure what to think about Krill....
It’s simple, documented and there are plenty of You-Tubes you can watch where doctors explain why it works..............
Iodine is safe and we are all deficient....

God Bless you!
Add “increases blood sugar” to your list. Statins are not beneficial for diabetics.
I'm beginning to think ObamaCare's flaws are irrelevant. It isn't safe to take the typical AMA doctor's drug company-sponsored advice any more, whether or not you can afford to pay his bill.
On 20mg Simvastatin, 500mg Niacin and 500mg Fish Oil
LDL 83
HDL 60
Triglycerides 176
Exercise brings down the TriGlycerides when I do it
As a Home Health Care Worker I will attest to the fact that we have an enormous problem with patients becoming over medicated and hooked on a wide variety of “easy” pharmaceutical solutions to their “Lifestyle” driven medical problems.
Stop eating crappy food America!
Start Moving your Bodies in Meaningful Ways!
Synthetic witches brew “medications” combined with poor lifestyle choices (diet/exercise) will destroy your quality of life.
Thanks so very much. I’m going to study it tonight.
I WILL check it out. Thank you.
Since brain matter is largely made of cholesterol and similar tissues, the widespread use of statins could explain the easily documented increasing stupidity of the American Electorate.
Thanks for the ping!
How long was it before you noticed any difference and did it keep it away for any length of time? I just start taken statins and am in the progress of changing everything about my life , dietary and phyiscally. I have the lipid growths on both eyes and wont’ desperately for them to go away.... if not forever at least for awhile so I can finally date again.... I hate having them.
