Statin Dosage
I have been taking 20mg of atorvastatin for a number of years. In a conversation with my Family Practicioner who prescribes my atorvastatin, I mentioned a recent study that suggests a positive effect of statins on advanced prostate cancer mortality. If I read the study correctly, most of the patients

UPDATE: Cholestrol and Statins (confused and irritated)

Angina, always normal cholesterol - hereditary
Diagnosed with heart disease in January and after initial denial and shock now trying to answer questions. I have read that 25% of people with heart disease have no aggravating lifestyle choices and I count myself in that group. Docs have put me on statin, GTN and Monomil and I can now walk the 1/2 mile

Good times in a crazy world
Last year at this time I thought that MY world had collapsed. One year later, the Whole World is collapsing, showing us all that live is unpredictable, and needs to be enjoyed in full every day that we are here. Continuing from my previous post, we had a fantastic December Holiday at the Beach. The children

Cholbiomex3
Has anybody taken Cholbiomex3 to reduce their cholesterol? It contains a probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum, Vitamin B3 (nicotinamide) and red yeast rice rich in monacolin K. The reviews read very good although some folk had the same reactions as they did from statins due to the addition of monacolin
