I am so lucky I go to the Prescott, AZ. VA, and the Dr. did have and this one both graduated or at least studied under Dr. wield au. of AZ. and they have a twisted mind favoring natural curs, like: no smoking,no over drinking, no over eating, lots of exercise, and healthy eating....but they do prescribe some drugs to some who want them, at least my VA Dr. does. My PA is also a supporter of naturals too, and that is who I see on my reg. 6 months check up. I had a very bad experience with Liportor, Zorcor, Baycol..all Cholesrtol meds...They took Baycol off the market. It was the worst and I have not had any since, I called Bayor inc. in Utah and told them and the told me to flush the pills down the toilet, and they sent my money back to me. So It been 8 yrs since I had a Drug for Cholesterol, and its about 150 down from over 300 8 years ago...but I lost some wt. and started eating better, and play Golf 3 days a week. Also like I said do 6,000 mg of Niacin, and 6,000 mg of Hot Pepper + Ginkgo Balboa 500 mg. per day split in am and pm dose's that all help make the blood slippery, and non clotting. Also a lot of Vit. C, E, (B-12 B-6 Folic Acid sublingul,) all the amino acids, msm, calcium, magnesium, potassium, omega 3 oils like fish oil, flax seed oil, lecithin, and others. That is a tip of my iceberg of Vitamins. LOL. Tel Tofflemire Dewey, AZ.
