I'm just corious... if you don't have a cholesterol problem, why take all that stuff for your cholesterol?  Is there a correlation with clotting and cholesterol?

[Barbarella]

I hear you!

I'm on 20 mg of Zocor every other day, and my cholesterol went from 306 to 180, sometimes a few points higher, sometimes a few points lower for the last 4 yrs.  With numbers that high you can't afford to gamble and waste time with "natural stuff". Been there done that.

I don't have a Cholesterol problem! My problem is I have a cloting problem
I have Prothrombin and Lupus anticoagulant don't quote me on the spelling!!
I was on Cumidon then aspirin now off the aspirin and on supplements
and blood is good. I also take some other supplements that I haven't mentioned
for keeping blood moving.

FWIW, I take 20/10 vitorin.

Before Total Cholesterol: 220
Afer:  102

I prefer taking meds if practical. Less fuss and paid for by insurance (whereas you have to pay for vitamins on your own).
