Statin drugs are very damaging to the body so going a natural route is highly recommended. I'll send you a link about cholesterol.

Hi! I can understand your concern, however, liptor is otherwise quite safe. I wouldn't suggest that you go off it completely. However, watching your diet, eating fruits and vegetables, nuts, high fibers can help. Also exercising is good for this.
I would advise against advertised natural products, as their health benefits are not approved by FDA and other such agencies. A nutrition expert can help devise a diet plan that can lower your bad cholesterol, and help increase good cholesterol.
Take care!
