Monitoring Hepatic Steatosis
I also have elevated triglyceride levels and it has been suggested that I look at
statins
. The Cochrane review on hepatic steatosis and
statins
suggests that the evidence on whether
statins
are effective in treating hepatic steatosis is weak.

Plaque reversal
I read that
statins
reverses arterial plaque. Is that true? I also saw that Berberine reverses plaque too: https://youtu.be/ZRArHoZueEI This all sounds pretty simply and would stop many heart attacks (assuming also diet and exercise)

very high cholesterol & blood pressure
I really really do not want to go in to
statins
. I’ve got an under active thyroid which I take levothyroxine for. I eat healthy, don’t drink excessively (currently haven’t had a drink for a month). I need to exercise more and I’m also about 20 pounds overweight.

How long trouble-free?
Due to
statins
, my cholesterol is excellent (total 2.75, , LDL 0.9, HDL 1.2). I have remained disciplined in terms of regular exercise (walk 5 km daily and 3 times a week in the gym strength training), medicines and diet (no meat, no processed food).

Blood results following increase in Levothyroxine dose
GP wanted to try increasing Levothyroxine dose before recommending
statins
. I commenced 50mg. Today I had a repeat blood test. The lipids, cholesterol result I don't have yet but TSH reduced to 4.12 and Free Thyroxine 14.8. I believe this brings my TSH just within normal range.

Geranylgeraniol (GG), Tocotrienols, Ubiquinol (CoQ10), & statins and their relationship w/ lipids, heart health and APC patient treatments.
The biq question, as I see it, is "what causes
statins
to slow prostate cancer growth/increase CSS mortality?" Is it the direct action of the statin on the cancer, or the effect of the statin lowering cholesterol, which causes the slowing of the cancer?

Don't Delay Too Long
The consultant has put them on BP medication,
statins
(total cholesterol >6) and may also start treatment for Type II diabetes (HbA1c has been in pre-diabetic range for many years).

Minoxidil
I have given up HRT, SSRIs,
statins
, caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods (I used to put fresh jalapeno peppers on EVERYTHING), sugar, all processed foods, most carbs, and the list goes on. I basically stopped having fun. Now for my question. I have a genetic issue with my hair.

Jobst Elvarex made to measure knee length socks
My local pharmacy can take an age with normal repeat medication, like
statins
and anticoagulants, so I'm wondering where the delay is. What is other people's experience of this?

Are statins essential if you are suffering from AF and/or past strokes? And how much is 'good'?
Just seeking some views on what constitutes the 'correct' level of
statins
to take in various situations. I have been taking 10 mg of simvastatine for six months and found this is no problem for me and it has marginally reduced what was a very low LDL cholesterol level in the first place.

Link twixt Levo dosage and cholesterol
I do not want to take
Statins
and now feel there is hope. Encouraging - high cholesterol = longer life span
Statins
can lead to shorter life span. Hmm - now to convince the GP. :-)
