I'm on the ketogenic diet, and below is how said diet helped a problem I was having.

I took statins for several years and started having more side effects than you can shake a stick at..It started off slowly and got worse and worse. If I knew then what I know now,I'd never had taken them at all. Naturally my Dr. blamed my side effects one everything but the real culprit.

Needless to say, I stopped taking it, and my Dr. decided.in her infinite wisdom, to chunk another one at me. I said no and I meant no. What’s funny is my levels had improved and she said I must not have been off the med long. In reality, I had been off it three months!

The last time she says my cholesterol. levels are really good and asked me what I was doing. I simply said:”Eating more fish.” Anyway,every time I go in,she still drags out the statin dead horse and beats it soundly with a stick.

Once she said if I develop diabetes,she will subscribe statins. Do you have any idea how hard it can be to suppress an eye roll? I managed with great difficulty!
