Well, I took a quick look, but I don't feel comfortable judging one individual - as far as it is possible - doc.

It's also very personal. When I read...

... I slowly walk backwards to the door. But your mileage may vary.

I'm a skeptic. I read about Big Pharma, but I also read about Big Supplement (it's quite a big industry these days...) However: almost all of the advice I read here is based on science (and a lot of experience). You don't have to follow it, but just know that the link between statins & PN is very solid. I doubt any clued up doc would dispute that. My doc didn't.

This forum offers you an insight, but you can't really expect it to say: "throw away the statins, take omega3 and you'll be fine". It doesn't work that way, which is a good thing.

The only advice I can give is to keep on reading - both here, and the books that are referred to.

I'm currently having a cholesterol problem myself, but because I know I don't want to go anywhere near statins, I decided to look for a different route. In my case, the route that seems to help greatly with my PN will most probably also help with my cholesterol. I will get checked again in a month (2 months into the process) to see where I'm at.
