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?

Most of the cholesterol floating around in your blood is actually produced by your own body. Cholesterol is essential but too much can cause blockages in blood vessels. Diet helps a little but main focus should be losing fat and detoxing your liver. NAC helps with liver detoxing and is OTC and relatively cheap. Not a doctor, not medical advice, just things to research. Think of high cholesterol as s symptom, not as the problem. You should look into a diet that targets fatty liver disease. Coffee good, fruits and veggies good, avoid salt, sugar, seed oils and trans fats.
Edit: Protein at EVERY meal.
I liken cholesterol to little ambulances. If your body is calling 911 and sending out a bunch of little ambulances to repair your health, the answer is not to reduce the size of the ambulance fleet, which is all statins do.
I look at it that way too! It's weird the sort of plug & chug mentality that they ingrain in doctors these days. .
