Are there any supplements anyone else is familiar with that I can take besides this? My low is to low and my high is to high, according to them. I’ve looked at my daily foods and can hardly find anything that has cholesterol in it, other than milk. Could I lose 5-8 lbs, sure..would that make a difference?

Those statins are poison. It destroys your joints. My doc put me on them about 15 years ago. I took them for a couple months, the shoulder pain was crazy. I couldn't raise my arms in front of me.
I was taking Lipitor, only reason I knew it was the Lipitor causing my joint pain is because a coworker and I started taking it at the same time and she and I both had the same reaction.
Taking CoQ10 with the statin is supposed to reduce the joint damage and reduce the pain. I would stop taking them though. Your brain needs the cholesterol.
Take some fish oil to raise your good cholesterol.
I drink a mixture few times a week to lower my bad cholesterol.
The mixture includes a tonic, here are some links that shows you how to make it.
How to make the Tonic, I included couple sites, search the internet:

They sell the tonic in some countries, can't find it here in the USA.

Here is ginger juice I found on Amazon.

Now that you have made the tonic, mix these items together each day and drink it down. It tastes bad, I chug it down in one drink.
Warm a cup of water in a stainless steel pot, not too hot, you have to chug it.
Stay away from Teflon pans.
In the warm water mix 1 tablespoon Braggs apple cider vinegar.
Add 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder.
Add a few dashes of black pepper to activate the Turmeric.
Add the juice from half a lemon.
Add 1 teaspoon of Cayenne pepper.
Add 1 tablespoon of the tonic.
Add couple tablespoons on Honey to sweeten it up.
Mix.
Chug it.
Edit: I have had high cholesterol my whole life, over 300 when the doctor did the blood test. I have been drinking this stuff for 10 years. I had a stress test on a treadmill about a year ago, passed with flying colors. I am 60y/o, my younger brother has already had open heart surgery for blocked coronary arteries. I am fairly certain this mixture helps prevent the plaque buildup in your arteries.
Also, the apple cider vinegar will help your body regulate your glucose. People with type 2 diabetes can cure themselves by drinking Braggs ACV. It has to be mixed in water. Drinking it straight is dangerous, burns like crazy, I did it once, never again. You can tell if you have type 2 diabetes by looking at your urine in the toilet. If it looks cloudy, that is excess sugar being eliminated. Your urine should be yellow and clear.
BTW, here is the Turmeric I use:

Ahh Lipitor. I took it several years ago, and I had constant muscle pain, so I stopped. My cholesterol is fine. Both my "good" and "bad" cholesterol numbers were "high" according to my practioner. Maybe still high. I don't care, the so-called cure was worse than the condition.
Lipitor,... that shit is a bunch of BS. If you are worried about your cholesterol, take a blood calcification test. When Lipitor first came out, my dr. Told me that my good was too low and my bad was too high and I should try “this new product”. Sent me home with a sample given to him by a rep from the company.
I went home, stared at the brown bag of samples, and threw it away,.... stopped going to my doctor too. That was probably 20 years ago or so.
Fast forward to today, I recently went to a local frontline practitioner. They suggested we take the calcification blood test to see if any arteries and veins might be getting clogged (I.e. calcified) as a precaution (practitioner stated, that everyone should be doing this as a baseline test). Got my results back, on a scale between 0-300, I scored a 1. Practitioner said she never has seen someone with such a low number.
I sat there and told her about the Lipitor story and was shocked by her response. She told me she remembers when Lipitor first came out, the CDC had “just updated their good/bad cholesterol numbers” (bad numbers lower and good numbers higher), which conveniently worked very well for prescribing this new miracle drug. She remembered that all doctors where handing it out like candy.
I felt like I dodged a serious bullet. That doctor 20 years ago told me I would probably be on cholesterol medicine for the rest of my life.
Btw, I never changed my diet or anything. The Whole story reminded me of the painkiller Docudrama with Michael Keaton- Dopesick.
Sounds right. I stopped all medications because one, they were making me gain weight, two they caused muscle pain, and three because it's my body and I've learned how to take care of it myself. Vitamins, supplements, herbs and keeping fit. That's all it took for me.
Ya, it took over a year for the pain to go away also, it is a horrible drug.
Not every one can handle fish oil so if you start this and don't feel right discontinue. When I have tried any fish oil supplements I swear something happens like blisters on my brain, I get completely stupid. My body just doesn't know what to do with the stuff.
Tried flax seed oil? Maybe a fish allergy or a mercury issue?
Flax doesn't seem to be much better. I never cared for fish. Tuna is about all the fish I've ever eaten. Coconut oil/capryllic acid is good for me though.
I am a fan of coconut oil though
Interesting, first I’ve heard of people having trouble with omega 3s in general. I’m going to look into it.
Have you tried MCT oil and hemp seed oil? I take microingredients fish oil and it's good. Flax seed is a phytoestrogen so I avoid that.
Ide skip the honey because of sugar. But this is a good recipe. I use this recipe. I chug in the morning. I use pure curcumin instead of turmeric. Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric.
