It works for me.
Puritan's has a really good price on their stuff so you might want to check out their site. I got an email that Flush Free is on sale for buy one get one free for $11.99. That is 200 500mg capsules. Good price.

Those cholesterol drugs affect more than just the liver. *shudder* I already have PN...I don't need *more* or worse symptoms. There have been many reports of many horrible sides from these meds. I think it's *far* better to go the natural route whenever possible. You might try googling statin side effects.
I just had a thought...what would and did people do before the internet and the easily available info? We're lucky to have these kinds of resources.
