I was on Statins for about 5 years, with lipids under control (except the HDL) . But I started having myopathy(muscle pain) and then I read about horrible stores about how statins can destroy your body. My good friend Peace 7 suggested a homeopathic medicine, in course of discussion, for reduction of blood sugar. I did some research and found that, the medicine also has profound effect on Lipids. I stopped Statin (Rosuvas) and started having this homeo medicine twice a day. My lipids worsened at first, but at the end of three month period, they were as close as the results, when I was on statins.
Those who are interested to now my results, may send me a private message
Pain in my body has reduced to minimum. Diabetic neuropathy is almost gone.
The name of the homeo medicine is Syzygium Jambolanum.
Remember, this is not passport to eat anything and everything and be a couch potato. This is of course, coupled with intake of minimum carbohydrate and daily exercise regimen and other hyper-glycaemic medicines.
This is my own personal experience. I am not advising or suggesting that you take it.
Happy Diwali
