Re: Need list of vitamins from Dr Graveline

[Guest guest]

Hi Carol,

Below is the list of Dr Graveline's recommendations for

Statin Alternatives (to reduce/prevent inflammation):

1) buffered aspirin - 81 mg

2) CoQ10 - 100 to 150 mg

3) folic acid - 400-800 mcg

B6 - 80-100mg

B12 - 200-250mcg

4) Omega 3 (fish oil or cod liver oil) [ There is no upper limit.]

These four items/categories have the same anti-inflammatory

affect as 20 mg's of Lipitor, without side effects.

Keep in mind these supplements are not designed to lower

cholesterol (because cholesterol is NOT the problem).

Together they are a potent anti-oxidant, they reduce platelet

stickiness and control (toxic) homocysteine levels.

Hi Carol,

Need list of vitamins from Dr Graveline

Sorry all....my memory totally shot and i can't find where on my computer I put the list of supplements that Dr Graveline recommends taking instead of statins. As one who once took lipitor or zocor I need to get on some good supplements as Dr is insisting I continue taking zetia. I need to get off of this now and have to find something that will work..........either that or find another doctor. At one time i thought my body was mine but seems my doctor has taken over and is insisting I take a cholestrol lowering drug. In the past I have on my own stopped lipitor and zocor but how he is getting really persistant I stay on something (cholestrol is 220)Anyway appreciate any help with the vitamins to take that Graveline recommends.......one day I may actually find where I stored them on my computer......ThanksCarol/Atlanta
