Glenntaj, I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner on your suggestions for lowering my cholesterol. I have tried niacin in the past and could not tolerate it. Maybe I need to try it again. Also, the latest research as I understand it, does not show that fish oil(without the fish) is effective in preventing heart attacks. They recommend fresh salmon or some other oily fish 3 times a week at a minimum to do the job.

On the subject of doctors, I found a Dr Gilbert Manso who has a medical degree from the University of Texas who practices the integrated approach and claims to have also studied medicine in europe and asia as well. I will also check out Ana Blackmon.
