Good. She can't put you on it unless you agree. You may know more about it than she does.

A doc "put" my aunt on a statin. I had her taken off it immediately, got her to take an excellent fish oil with extra EPA and DHA, cut down on transfats and take other carefully chosen supplements.

The changes in her labs amazed me. I know there would be good changes, but didn't dare hope for that good. Her "bad" cholesterol came down a little bit, but her "good" cholesterol came up a lot. We got her blood pressure down too.

If you have the collection of cardio problems and high cholesterol, drugs may be helpful. But if not, they could be disastrous.
