[QUOTE="MarkM, post: 123842"] The first time I had my cholesterol tested as part of a basic blood work up was in 2006. My Total Cholesterol was LDL was 294, and HDL was 4. The doctor came unglued and said, "Son, you are about to have a massive coronary." I tried numerous statins and all of them raised my liver enzymes to extremely high levels and the doctor told me I was not a candidate for statins due to the damage being done to my liver. He told me he wasn;t sure what I could do except improve my diet but there was no way I would be able to get it down to "normal" levels. That was 12 years ago. My last blood work in August showed my Total Cholesterol at 142, LDL at 89, and HDL of 40, and VLDL at 13. Quite a reduction without any type of prescribed medication. However, I do take the following supplements: Extra Virgin Olive Oil - one "shot" every day DHA MCT Oil Niacin Olive Leaf Extract I don't think I'm much different than the average person so it is possible to bring cholesterol levels down without statins. I've read numerous bad things about statins and for me, I am glad I am not having to take them. [/QUOTE]
