I've been on cholesterol meds for over 10 years. I've had high cholesterol for as long as I can remember. Doctors have always said, "You're too young to have high cholesterol". And I have my parents genes, along with their cooking habits to thank for that. I've lived 36 years of bacon, sausage, steak, fried chicken, burgers, pork chops, and other unhealthy animal products.
Lipitor and Zocor almost put me in the hospital by nearly destroying my liver and kidneys. Simvastatin finally worked well for me, but it's a constant daily pill to keep me from serious danger. Add high blood pressure to my cholesterol problem and you got a recipe for a heart attack
Let me tell you how good it felt today when my doctor called me up and said that I'm finally off of cholesterol meds! I ate meat all my life and had high cholesterol all my life. I gave up meat for less than 3 months and cholesterol is something I don't have to worry about again!
Forget all the naysayers that say vegetarianism is too extreme. I'm living proof!
