Thank you Phil:

I can take a more natural supplement that I obtained at " Whole Foods Market "

My Primary DR. said that would be ok to take to take the natural supplement

(Total Lipid Care).  

She also stated that there was no risk to taking Antara, which is a

fenofibrate.  From what I read I would like to stop taking the Antara

completely.  Currently my trig. are at 70. and Cholesterol is HDL about 41

LDL about 100.

I do exercise 4 times weekly and maintain a healthy diet.   Other than night

sweats I think i'm doing ok.

Greg, may I suggest you do some research on niacin? It lowers triglycerides,

LDL and raises HDL.

My doctor took me off of gemfribobil (sp) and put me on a large dose of

" Niacin " . It was much better medication for my LDL and dropped my triglycerides

a little bit.

I was told that the guidelines for people with heart problems is a LDL of 70 or

less, mine is now 67. My triglycerides would be much better if I watch what I

eat better. I'm working on it>

You still need to figure out why your having night sweats. It can be from low

Cortisol levels making your sugar levels fall to low at night. Try eating some

cheese or nuts before bed it only take a little.

Or if your on TRT it's your Estradiol levels going high at night this is when

the go the highest.

One other thing is Thyroid.

If your on TRT what do you take how much and when.

The heart Dr.'s drove my LDL down to 70 on Stain Drugs and my pain was very

bad.  I asked about them low levels they told me this is what you need them at. 

When they seen I have damage to my joints and muscles from Statin Drugs they

said I did not ever had high Chol. so stop the Statin Drugs I did not need them

in the first place.

Yet for 2 dam yrs. I told them them drugs were cripping me and they told me it

was my age or some other bull crap.

If you were to ask me what I think about Dr.'s and there Statin Drugs I would

say they are full of it up to the top of there heads.

There is not one study out there that proves taking Statin Drugs keep you from

heart problems.

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/07/20/the-truth-about-st\

atin-drugs-revealed.aspx

And the dam Drug Co.'s are try to get a bill passed to put this crap in the

drinking water.

Studies have also shown that low dose statins are just as effective as high-dose

statins. Any potential benefit occurs at a low dose. Of course, side effects

sky-rocket as the dose increases.

The professionals on the National Cholesterol Education Program's Advisory

Panel, the body that establishes recommended levels.have close industry ties.

What a surprise.

E.T.
