[QUOTE="HpprKM, post: 233794, member: 14660"] Hi Dillinger, I have a post on Statins and Cholesterol where I am saying my GP is so persistent on the subject, I like her very much but this may come to blows :lolno: :lolno: I one saw a programme, Panorama or similar about statins long before I thought I would be having to take them and it was quite horrific, since then I have read nothing but poor reviews, but I find it hard to keep refusing my GP who practically begged me to take them at my last review. I have received information that natural alternatives can help, and by golly I am to try them. Having said all of that I have now come across your post earlier this year, and where I was hesitant I am really quite emphatic that I do not wish to take them, I have such a strong feeling that I should not be taking them, maybe I am just being a bit neurotic, but I am still going to try my hardest to find an alternative to lower my 5.6 level! With regard to the heart attacks, I had a very dear and close friend who died quite suddenly in June, he was seemingly fit, ate and lived a healthy life style, played golf, went to the gym, did tons of walking - and he had a stroke right out of the blue! I do not know what his cholesterol level was, but I know he used to attend a GP for regular check ups and he never mentioned any problems, and he was not diabetic, so I guess one just never knows!
