I think 30 years from now we will look back at our current "wisdom" on cholesterol and be amazed at how little we knew.


Even my Dr. says she thinks the drug companies keep "lowering the standards for what is the max your levels should be" to sell more drugs. I'm glad I have a Dr. that feels that way, I think she will be much more open to alternative treatments.

I've printed out all the Policosanol research, bought some online, and I'm going to start taking this as soon as it arrives. I'd love to be a test case, I have the genetic risks, Dad with heart attacks from high cholesterol, Mom had strokes, but I have low bp, mid range triglycerides, so I feel that with this natural therapy I can get it down to where it should be.
