Statins

[Guest guest]

My Cholesterol is 225. My Dr gave me a statin drug however my intuition told me not to take it. Does anyone know how much niacin to take? When I put in my order to Swanson's this month I am going to add it to my order. It says the have a non flush formula. I drink Soy Milk, I use limited amounts of cheese on top of my whole grain pasta. I have tuna, and Turkey Hot Dogs from Trader Joe's a few times a week and that is the only meat I eat. I use protein powder daily now. One Dr told me that stress can cause high Cholesterol or it can run in families. So, I would like to get it back to 180 which is were it normally is. 8th day of LDN. The excessive urination is pretty much gone except for when I go for a walk in the after noon... it seems worse between 3-6. I am sleeping 6

and one half to 7 and one half hours a night with vivid dreams which I love, I do not mind that at all. I am falling asleep earlier - which is great! Energy is not up yet, but it has only been a week and I am only at 2.25 mg a night. I am very hopeful. "Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow"."
