I have been avoiding my dr. Last year, she put me on lipitor for high cholesterol. I lasted 2 weeks, then had such bad muscles cramps, I stopped it. My total cholesterol was 266.

Since then, I went back to a vegetarian diet...vegan most days. I started taking supplements that were known to reduce cholesterol. Started eating oatmeal and fiber every morning.

I finally went back last week and got my cholesterol re-done. It is 175!!!
My bad cholesterol went from 178 down to 104. Whoo hoo. I can't believe I dropped it almost 100 points...and I have bad genetics my Dad's was over 400. That shows the power of supplements and diet.
