[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1503235, member: 401801"] I quit the statines due to the side effects, and just stuck with the diet I devised with the help of a bunch of books (moderately low carb, low animal fat, dairy-free, and cholesterol-fighting, so with walnuts, blueberries and whatnot), and supplements like garlic and milkthistle. Without the statins my cholesterol (the bad kind) only went up a fraction from what it was on statins. Still have to sort out how to get the good cholesterol up a little though. But, one step at a time eh. Have to tackle my thyroid first. No idea if the walnut/berries/supplements might help, but I think they did pretty well for me. [/QUOTE]
