Guest guest Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 She can take omega 3 fatty acids; 1-2000 mg per day. Also she should be taking coQ 10 every day for her heart. Garlic is also good; eating oatmeal works well. She should also be on thyroid supplementation. Not treating her thyroid can kill her. ---- bioniclymie 4/19/2009 9:43:35 PM << >> Diabetes and Cholosterol Hi All, New to the group and looking for advice. My mom is 69, has type two diabetes (and Addisons and no thyroid))and point blank is refusing to take her cholesterol meds her doctor has her on, because she feels over medicated and she also feels her quality of life has improved since dropping them.

Aside from diet and exercise which she does pretty well, does anyone have any suggestions as to what she take take herbally that will help keep her cholesterol in balance? Oh and if anyone could show me studies/scientific proof that drinking lab sweeteners is bad for cholesterol, addisons, or thyroid it would be the joy of my life as her big vice is drinking tons of diet soda.
