Comment on Flower Power – The Pros and Cons of Taking Herbal Supplements by Martin Katz

I regularly take medicinal supplements every day. Naturally, I tend to have bad genetic blood tendencies. Long ago, I found out that despite exercising and keeping my weight down, after testing my blood for a physical, my HDL count was 15 or less(when it could not even be measured if it was below 15) and my LDL count was about 140. My doctor wanted to immediately put me on statin drugs. Somehow, I convinced him to test my blood every 90 days for an entire year to see if I could solve this problem myself. In addition to boosting aerobic exercise a lot, I changed my diet and found several supplements that helped a lot. Basically, I found I could not tolerate any foods with saturated fat(no more red meat, eggs,etc) or any foods containing cholesterol(no more shrimp,crabs, etc). In addition, by taking certain supplements, I am now in a very healthy range(SloNiacin, Red Yeast Rice, Policosanol, VitaminD3 since I avoid the sun, and ginger tea/tablets to solve genetic motion sickness tendencies). I no longer have motion sickness problems and my HDL is now at 46 and my LDL is 79, putting me in a very healthy blood range. My current doctor recently told me that in my case, I do not need statin drugs at all and is pleased that my supplements, exercise, and diet works so well.
