Do you have high cholesterol, what do you currently do to treat it? Searching for a better alternative.?

I was put on Vytorin and after taking it for 2 months i experienced dizziness. I stopped taking it, now doc is reccomending crestor. I am not a big fan of drugs, and am looking for a more natural alternative to meds. The vytorin brought my numbers down to normal but left me very dizzy and disoriented at times. Worried about the long term affects of these so called statins as well. Any info you can offer would be appreciated. I had ct scan to make sure their were no underlying probs. All checked out good, and i am finally feeling better after being off the med for a month. The doc said 7to 10 days for it to be out of your system but i disagree on that. For me it took longer to begin to feel like myself again. Well, any info you can offer will be appreciated. Thanks :)

I'd seriously check our www.mercola.com. This guy Dr. Mercola is all about healing yourself naturally and organically. I know for sure there are articles on his site dealing specifically with high cholesterol.

I mention Dr. Mercola because he reminds me of my grandmother. She believes that the right combinations of food can cure cancer, and I believe her. She spends hours a day reading different publications and gathering information. I can't have you call my grandma, but I know she'd have a really excellent answer. So I'm sending you to Dr. Mercola; he's the next best thing.

Good luck!

p.s. my grandmother is 79 and healthy as a horse. She hardly ever goes to a doctor (only for things like injuries). Grandma taught me about things like slow-burning carbs and green leafy vegetables, healthy fats, trans fats, etc back in the early 80's, before people like Atkins and South Beach and the FDA got involved. I know she'd promote whole (not quick) oatmeal, fresh garlic, and olive oil,.
