If you want to lower your cholesterol, don't take a pill!!! Eat a bowl of oatmeal, the real stuff, for breakfast daily. After 30 days, you'll feel like a million bucks, and you won't lower your lifespan from taking pills! Also, eat an apple daily for optimal colon health.

Lipitor and Crestor will BOTH be in the news one day as causes of heart valve shutdown, kidney failure, etc. Don't listen to doctors that like to prescribe pills for everything! The doctors are being paid by the pharmaceutical companies to use their products! A pill is a quick fix and the body shouldn't be subjected to quick fixes.

Statins change the function of your liver in many ways, not just cholesterol production. I threw my Lipitor away 8 months ago. Here is a link to some information about side effects and damage statins can do.

So will this help determine which drug will be finally be "approved" for the Cleveland Clinic's employees who were once perscribed Zocor, switched to Litor, changed to the current required generic Simvastatin?

I totaly agree with "MOVED" and "RAMON" --- buyer beware. The health care industry, is just that, an "industry" hell-bent on making money first and foremost.

I say drop the drugs and start taking control of your own life. Do right by your body. The body doesn't like foreign meds manipulating it. It becomes a vicious cycle. I'm with you Moved, eat oatmeal, have an apple, learn to listen to your body.

The sky is falling! Evil drug companies run by greedy people! Malpractice lawsuits abound!

Hey, let's face it. Lab rats cost money and piss off PETA, while human beings PAY to be lab rats. Pretty much a no-brainer right?

I love the drug ads, especially when they list the side effects like "flushing, dry mouth, trouble urinating and fits of anal bleeding". Sure makes me wanna try out their product!

Just eat a healthy meal and 20minutes of exercise a day and thats all you need. Unless you have a genetic predispostion to high cholesteral. What are the differences in the side effects? All medicine developed today is symptomatically engineered, that is to treat the symptoms and not the cause.

Nothing wrong with that approach, as long is it works. May work for many people.

The health care industry in America has become too overrun with venality, greed and corruption for anyone to ever accept anything a "Doktor" says at face value or on faith any longer. Message to the "Doktors": it's time to face the facts. We're not buying it anymore.

My doc told me my cholesterol was out of whack and wanted me to go on statins or high doses of niacin but both have some ugly side effects so I did my research and while doing so I found a site that offered an email course to learn how I could reverse atherosclerosis, lower cholesterol and achieve better health without using prescription drugs. I did what was mentioned and my cholesterol is normal and my last thallium treadmill showed no sign of arterial blockage. If you want to check it out you can fine the info here: http://www.reverseheartdisease.net

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Virgo

You're feeling restless and need to introduce as much variety into your day as possible. However, you'll want this to be on your own terms, and you certainly won't like it if plans are changed without your consent or you feel you've lost control of the situation. Try to take everything in your stride, otherwise you'll end up feeling exhausted and frazzled.
