Anyone know of some Natural Remedies?

Hello all....

My mom just found out yesterday that she has very high good and bad cholesterol. She asked me to do some online research to see if I could learn of some natural options. She does not want to take Lipitor as her mother had some problems with it. Does anyone have any suggestions that have worked for them?

Thank you!
Lil'Pea

You can try Beta Sitisterol -2 -twice a day, Red Yeast Rice - 2 - twice a day and No flush niacin 1 three times a day. These are are all natural and have lowered my Lipids to the normal range.

These can be purchased at most health food stores [removed]
I have been taking the above now for over 7 months with good results.

Search for articles by Dr Dean Hornish in recent on line and print publications. He is a big proponent of both low fat and vegetarian diet and natural remedies like red yeast rice, pantethine, beta sitosterol and others.

I noticed some results in 30 days. However the full efect did not take place for several months. Have her stick to it for several months for more accurate results.

Forgot to mention No Odor Garlic Caps. This is really a centuries old remedy for all ill's. Great for blood pressure too.

Mom can check out the results from her regular blood workup from her Dr. I had very high chloesterol, in the 500 range years ago when I was in my forties and have been on almost every Satin drug on the mkt.that has come out in the last 31 yeras. My last one was Lipitor. As the new meds. came out, my Dr. would put me on them and eventually the satins caught up with me with very bad side effects and I have been off them now for 8 months. I go in for my blood workup results tomorrow. My last one was in the normal range of 200. Lower would be better, but considering Lipitor @ 40mg only brought it down to 220 - 230 range, this is not too bad. As you can see on this board there are a lot of people who had side effects from Satins.

Taking everything in perspective, the all natural method seems to be the best route at this time.
