EATING TO YOUR HEART CONTENT: WHAT IF THE DOCTOR SAYS: "TAKE THIS DRUG"?

If you've been prescribed a cholesterol-lowering drug, demand a complete list of the side effects and dangers before consenting to use it. Not long ago Mer/29 was advertised as a "breakthrough in anticholesterol" drugs and then had to be yanked off the market when it was found to cause dermatitis, changed hair color, loss of sex drive and a condition known as "alligator skin." There are twenty or more natural foods that can help normalize cholesterol levels safely and efficiently: carrots, apples, and other high fiber fruits and vegetables are good ones for starters.
Among the proven natural methods to lower cholesterol are these: fiber, which has the ability to increase the amount of cholesterol excreted in daily bowel movements; Vitamin B3 (niacin) which is not only effective, but inexpensive; Vitamin C; calcium carbonate - two grams daily can reduce both cholesterol and triglyceride levels according to studies performed at St. Vincent's Hospital in Montclair, New Jersey; Vitamin E, selenium, avocados, lecithin, chromium, onions -cooked or raw; garlic, spirulina, pangamic acid (Vitamin B]5), black currents, yucca powder, olive oil, alfalfa tablets, and zinc supplementation. There are more - lots more.
To liberate yourself from "cholesterolphobia," learn how and when cholesterol can be a friend, not a foe. Sensible amounts of foods such as milk, cheese, butter, eggs, fish, beef, pork and lamb will not cause problems unless they're improperly cooked or carelessly stored - OR, if you consume too much.
Most important: do not allow yourself to be diverted or distracted from making the life style changes that have proven value.
