I just learned my mother is taking a statin.
She's been feeling awful for the past week.
I know she needs to stop taking it immediately, and I told her such. What do I do in the meantime?
In the meantime what? She has to stop taking the poison. Print out a few articles about the dangers of statins for her.
I knew I should've clarified--
I meant what she should do for herself for cholesterol in the meantime.
It's going to take some doing to undo all the brainwashing and convince her that cholesterol is brain food.
I guess I could use some anti-inflammatory food ideas, too.
I've been researching berberine, it seems to have lots of nifty effects, including reducing cholesterol and inflammation.
Edit: Reducing cholesterol isn't the right way to say that. It helps your body metabolize lipids and whatnot, so if I remember correctly, it increases good cholesterol and reduces bad.
Berberine also helps lower blood sugar, and I’ve lost about 10 pounds as well.
