Statins, high cholesterol
Statins, high cholesterol
I am a dietitian, not registered, so this is in no way to be taken as medical advice. I read through many of these posts on this, sorry did not read all, too tired, son wont sleep.
First I am noticing many memory problems, muscle weakness in hands and body and difficulty with mixing up words, like I might say a word nearly backwards or say one word before the other in a sentance but in the wrong order. I only take coumadin asprin and Tiazac.
Anyway, if you have high cholesterol you can still have a heart attack on a chol. lowering drug, or still have continued build up of plaque in arteries to heart or carotid to brain. There is one proven (though most docs think he a quack) way to reverse the plaque and that is with a vegan diet. There is a book on it by (cant remember name, will post if I do) but this guy has the data to prove it in my book. Also it is hard to be a vegetarian on coumadin sometimes so another thing that will naturally lower cholesterol is flax seed. You put 2 Tbs, ground in OJ or over cereal, twice a day and it will work. Also eating raw nuts like almonds, cashews (RAW not roasted unless you do it yourself on low in oven) can do the trick. My husband does this and it works especially if you stick to more of a vegan diet. We live on raw nuts and seeds, salad, fruit, beans, whole grains, most of the time. Stress _ Ben and Jerrys and Mexican mayhem for us. Hope this helps and forgive if it did not make much sense, son had lots of seizures last night, did not sleep for 30 hours and I feel like crap. Hope this helps, if you want to private email me for info I have I will dig it up. My husbands doc told him he had a lady who had been on Lipitor for years and was currently in the hospital for quad bypass, her cholesterol levels were fine. Sorry to sound scary, sometimes there are more simple solutions that more mainstream medical docs dont hink of, believe or know.
