Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Gillian Have you tried adding essential oils (the good kind like fish oil) to see if that will help your cholesterol. I was on a statin for several years with little decrease. I started the essential oils (I take them in a gel-cap) and within a year, I was able to go off the statin and my cholesterol and triglycerides are now well within the normal range. My rish factor is below 1% as it has raised the good cholesterol so much. I also take lots of CoQ10, so I think I am covered on the atenerol. laurie > > In a message dated 6/7/2005 9:57:24 AM Eastern Standard Time, > gill@... writes: > > ..the Atenolol stuff I do know has him really worried > because of this Q10 stuff, I already take Lipitor so I think I > follow his reasoning.. > > > > > Hi Gillian, > Can atenolol decrease CoQ10 levels?
