Thankyou for your helpfull replys, firstly I Googled chia seeds and no flush niacin after reading about them I went to my local Holland And Barrett and bought the same I thought it has to be worth a try and at 2 for 1 prices it only cost me £10.00 for 120 no flush and 2 packs of chia seeds.
I am making an appointment to see my doc and tell them I don't want to continue on the statins for now so thankyou for a great post Shelbie.

Very interesting reading mrsD thankyou for taking the time to post links.

Jo Mar frow what I know of my father's side of family I don't think there. Is any heart disease but can't be certain as my father died aged 30 with a brain tumour and I was only 2 and over the years I've not had a lot of contact with them.

On my Mother's side my mother has angina she is 78 my gran died at 93 I think one other of my aunts has angina too but no heart attacks that I know off.

I eat a varied diet I think and good home cooking very little processed foods. I think cholesterol must be scored different here in the UK as the doc says mine was 7.4 with not enough good and too much bad.I am also on medication for High blood pressure.

Heartening to hear your grandmother lived to 96 with what I take it must be a high cholesterol.

I think my biggest downfall is smoking which I am trying to reduce but fi ding it very difficult
I have started taken a fresh lemon hot water honey and apple cider drink every morning after reading about its benefits.


Thanks all and take care G
