This is a nice article by Dr. Mercola regarding Statin-a kind of drug that it seems many MDs agree is overly prescribed. High cholesterol is more often than not the result of chronic unwellness rather than diet. This is not something that will be discussed with you by your MD in most cases. Over the years, I have seen cholesterol levels dive in many of my patients without having to do anything other than treat the IC. This is not always true, but it is often true. As always, I do not recommend everything in this article, but rather am interested in the concepts.
