Re: OT- lab results

[Guest guest]

My mother in law went through a similar problem and couldn't take

anything for the cholesterol. After trying the 2nd or 3rd

prescription, she just quit taking it and started taking Apple Cider

Vinegar tablets. The next time she went to the doc he was surprised

to see how well the prescription had worked to lower her numbers!

When she told him she had not taken the prescription, but apple cider

vinegar, he was even more surprised! She has continued this and has

kept her numbers down. My former husband got his triglycerides under

control just by cutting out all sweetened drinks. The niacin had

very bad side affects. Good Luck!

warm days, it hasn't gone above 10 here yet!! take care and God Bless.

Lynn,

Thank you for your response. The only med for cholesterol that i'm currently

on is Tricor... no idea if that is a " statin " I only classify my meds by " yucky "

and " yuckier " LOL. I hope you are having warm and pain free days. Take care.
