My cholesterol was 360 combined when my doctor put me on lipitor ...

Drs. don't know about the side effects or do they care . . . all they know is to push drug since it is a HUGE racket with the drug co's. Red yeast rice is almost the same of the statins and will cause side effects. There are many natural products that will lower your cholesterol. I wouldn't suggest to try to lower your cholesterol in the 170 range . . . .your body/mind needs cholesterol to function.

In sales, customer perception is EVERYTHING! We live with the perception that lowering our cholesterol below 200 will give us a longer healthier life. But will it? Stop and think.

Did Moses and Noah ever get their cholesterol tested? Of course not. And all of us would be hard pressed to live as long as Moses. Buts odds are their cholesterol was well above 200.

The difference between the snake oil salesman of the 1800's and today is: One drove a horse drawn wagon, and the other drives a Lexus.

Hi, Mt Husband has moved on to crestor but was on lipitor. We have checked out the "now" site and would like to know how much he needs to be taking everyday. Thank You in advance for your help. KS

Can you tell me how you consumed the red yeast rice, that is, in tablet form or in your cooking etc?? I've not heard of it before and very interested in using in instead of Lipitor

I actually don't even believe that I should lower my cholesterol down to 170 as they suggest. ( I use whole numbers for combined values-easier for me)
I had it in 360 range and now it's staying in low 200 range without any medication so I am not taking anything at all anymore. With years if it starts climbing again I will only use red yeast rice. None of that dragons and wizards sideffect stuff for me anymore. I rather die than walk around like a zombie like I was when I was on lipitor.
