An Organic Supplement Called Kyolic (Aged Garlic Extract) for Cholesterol

Yet still my doctor wants to put me on a cholesterol medication (i wish like heck I remembered the numbers). So I asked her why, because if I am doing better each time who's to say I can't just continue that way naturally? I dont' want to be on 1000 different medications and the goal for me has been to drop enough weight and eat well enough that I can get off of the diabetes medicine, not slowly work up to other pills.

I am against adding extra medications too. Eventually, damage is done to the body. For some people it is quick like my dad. He is on 2 blood pressure medications and is showing early signs of kidney problems. To lower cholesterol, fish oil, ground flax seed, eating apples daily is helpful. There are supplements that help but you need to check with your doctor first in case there are any interactions with medications you take. My endo wanted to put me on a cholesterol drug too but I refused to take it. I heard a lot about statins and their effects on the body. There are conflicting reports about their effectiveness. I am not a medical professional to say whether these reports are true or not. You will find so much information on the net. I know a friend who suffered from hair loss as a result of a cholesterol medicine. They may not be bad for everyone, but it is better to think about natural alternatives first.

That is how I feel. I went and picked up fish oil yesterday and my friend told me about an organic supplement called Kyolic (Aged Garlic Extract) for Cholesterol. She has been taking it and her numbers have greatly improved. She feels the same way we do and she is working to get off of pills, not add more. She also told me that the medication I am taking will make me either gain or plateau at my weight, preventing me from losing more. I was not totally suprised to hear that because I haven't lost a single pound since getting on this medication 4mos ago. I feel like this is definitely an uphill battle. If I don't think for myself, then maybe I will never get better.
Much to think about.
