Hit the nail on the head
Dear Eddie
My doctor in Canada just put me on Crestor 10mg. After 3 days, I took it upon myself to get off the drug because of side effects such as general lack of stamina and weakness. In Canada cholesterol is measured in mmol/litre and my HDL is 1.03 and my LDL is 4.17 for a ratio of 4.048 The doc told me that new guide lines now requires a total cholesterol of 3.5 mmol/litre. Crestor is suppose to be the drug which can nail two bird with one stone. That is to raise the good HDL and at the same time lower the bad cholesterol thus improving the overall LDL/HDL ratio. After reading some of the risks of crestor drug on the internet, I got scared and I decided to attempt fighting my cholesterol through some other means which led me to this site. I am 100% in agreement with what you said in your thead. I hope to be successful in reduding my chlesterol within acceptable limits without taking dangerous drugs.
