Common medical practice these days when someone is diagnosed with high
cholesterol is to prescribe a statin drug to help get it under
control. Many medical professionals do not discuss how to lower
cholesterol naturally by exercise and diet with their patients. Even
more concerning is that many of these patients leave the doctors
office without being told of the benefits and risks of a drug that
they are going to be putting into their body.

Good stuff John -

"You need to get a good understanding from your primary health care provider about the side effects of any drug they are suggesting
you take as well as statins. Your local pharmacist can also be an invaluable source of information to you. "

People need to ask questions.

But Carole, the pharmacist is an 'expert'! Why would you ask anything
of an expert?
