Guest guest Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 No Alana I did not and Thanks. I will quit the Red Yeast Rice. Maybe that's why I am having a slight problem with my leg muscles. Thanks again..

My apologies if you knew all this already.Alana>> Willow, I take Red Yeast Rice and Omega 3 Fish Oil. I keep the fish oil in the freezer and then it does not make me belch.  I have had this recommended by several and my Doctor also recommends I take this....as I refused to take the statins. The horror stories are from a lot of my friends and family. > Violet (Lou) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 LOL. Willow don't feel bad. If you hadn't said this I may have done the same thing. I was just getting ready to go out and look for some.

I didn't know that red yeast rice was medically, and chemically considered a statin. I just knew that it could mimic one and have some beneficial effects on my cholesterol.

But on a lighter note, when I went looking for red yeast rice, after my Dr. told me to try it if I wanted to, just to get back to him on it.

Needless to say I haven't been back there for ages. Haven't got the nerve to go back there. Lol. After laughing at me, my sister told me, no, you have to get the capsules in a health food store or something. Well there is your laugh for today.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Great, I always like to laugh together. I just thought of something, you know, my Dr. is Indian, and he never said a word when I told him I would go to this one store and buy the rice. I wonder what he thought? The next time I go to see him, I am going to mention it to him. I can usually say anything I want to him, and he will discuss it with me, maybe he wasn't listening when I said that, or maybe he didn't know either.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 While I am on here, I would like to ask? Has anyone had H1N1,and was it as bad a time as I have been through? I m getting over it now, but it was a nightmare for a few days. It has been a week and I still don't feel very well. I'll give it one more day and then I am calling the DR. Thanks, willothewispl.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010  Red yeast rice contains a very low amount of statin, if any.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Yes, one of my standards that I live by, is, if I cannot laugh at myself, I have no business laughing at anyone else. And I like to laugh a lot. And I never actually laugh at another person, I may laugh, for them or with them, but, never, never, at them.
