Statin drugs can cause more problems than they solve for someone like me. I just heard that unless you have two out of three of these conditions:
*high cholesterol
*overweight
*have family history of heart disease
you shouldn't take statin drugs. My doctor isn't looking to start me on them Tom, diet and exercise are beginning to work.

I figured with the family history of high cholesterol they may be more agressive. The rule of thumb is to go with 6 months of diet modification and exercise and if that doesnt work to go to the meds (of course it usualy doesnt work because people dont change their diets or exercise more)

Tom
there was another recent study about statin drugs. two groups, one with and one placebo.
After taking the drugs, they did not find that the rate of hear attack was reduced by issuance of statin drugs. The heart attack rate stayed the same.
I am taking natural remedies for the cholesterol, Fish oil, policosanol, flush free niacin, red yeast rice and co Q10 for the heart.
I also had a complete internal organ body scan done. Test showed less than 1% calicium buildup within my heart which was very good considering my age and high cholesterol level.

There are hundreds of studies on statins and the other cholesterol meds. Statins are good medications but IMO are the last resort. If other meds and diet can controll the cholesterol then thats much better. My dad has been on them for years but he thinks its the magic bullet, he can take this medication and still shovel down haagen daaz and all the other unhealthy stuff he eats. He has had his liver enzymes bump up a few times and hes been off the meds till it came back down then they put him back on it.
too many people today want that magic pill to cure their problems instead of eating right and exercising and the drug companies ar elaughing all the way to the bank.

I'd like to see myself get down to 160ish, from the current 175 I am at...
But that would only be a side effect of the cardio I am doing, and trying eat a little smarter (like eating breakfast, and eating dinner at an earlier time).
