OMG Mrs D!! - after reading this thread and that final post of yours, I am now at a complete loss as to which (if any) of the recommended treatments for cholesterol (if indeed cholesterol is a problem at all) I should be taking.
I have been told, as you may remember, that I have high calcium as well as cholesterol in my arteries but my consultant has suggested that I take a statin to knock down my cholesterol. I do not intend to take any statin with so many possible side effects to them. All I can do is take my sterols and fish oil and anything else that might reduce my cholesterol. However if cholesterol does not really pose a problem then I guess I may as well forget it!! Thanks anyway for the articles which I may consider showing my consultant. I don't think I will try the high dose vitamin D though. I would however appreciate your views on the subject of how to clear blocked arteries of cholesterol and/or calcium. Tony |

It is the last post, just above yours I wanted you to see.
The new Vit D information has really moved quickly in medical circles. The new upper safe limit has been recommended at 10,000 IU daily for D3. You can have a blood test at the doctor's to confirm if you need it. But as I read the posts at Chronic Pain at Braintalk, and Vitamin Forum over there, I see many patients in pain improving on Vit D. My husband and I are both taking 2000IU a day now. (I was taking 1000IU daily during the winter only.) Search the names in the last post of mine, and you can read more. I think you can continue to use the Stanols, they are not harmful, like the statins. They are also not very strong. If that would make you feel better.
