" Statin Alternatives " are not designed to lower cholesterol, they control

inflammation.

 

Statin Alternatives are a potent anti-oxidant, they reduce platelet

stickiness, and also control homocysteine. " Inflammation is the real cause of

atherosclerosis " .

 

(Mod. Note. Or maybe the underlying cause of the inflamation might be the real

cause of atherosclerosis, that in my opinion is the controversy that needs to be

looked at and answered)

 

 

Statin Alternatives

 

1) Buffered Aspirin - 81 mg

 

2) CoQ10 - 100 to 150 mg (Gel Caps with some Vitamin E)

 

3) Folic Acid - 400-800 mcg

B6 - 80-100mg

B12 - 200-250mcg

(OR... take a B Complex or multi-vitamin that contains these B vitamin

amounts)

 

4) Omega 3 (fish oil or cod liver oil) [ There is no upper limit.]

Flax Seed Oil is also a source of Omega 3 but does not have the same

anti-inflammatory benefits.

 

These four items/categories have the same anti-inflammatory affect as 20 mg's

of Lipitor, without side effects.
