high cholesterol

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I have been in the group for a while but haven't introduced

my self. I joined this group because i am a sceptic of the real

intentions of modern western medicine. The medical industry has

evolved into a big money making monopoly with the pharma companies

at the high end of the bargain. I noticed that all of what medicine

does is exchange one illness for another creating a contineous flow

of money to the big pharmas. I am not saying all of western

medicine is bad, but if the basic foundation of treatment is

intoxicating pills, then alternative treatments should be sought. I

have a roommate who is HIV +, and has been for five years. He has

not had any symptoms that seem to come from a viral infection, but

he has had symptoms caused by the treatment he is given. The doctor

tells him he has one of the least toxicating treatment available. I

asked him compare to what, and he could not answer. One of the

leading causes of death among HIV + people is liver damage and not

any of the 29 disease that defines AIDS. Fortunately he has not

shown any signs of liver damage but I am afraid he eventually will.

He is one of the healthiest people I know. I myself get ill more

often than he does and I am HIV-. Currently one of the symptoms he

has is high cholesterol. Another reaction to HAART treatment. Does

anyone here know of any treatment that may help lower High

Cholesterol?

Thanks
