I went for a check-up a few months ago and the doctor prescribed a drug to lower my cholesterol. Usually I ask what the side effects to look out for and to decide if they are too dangerous to find another one. But I didn't.
The other day I was watching t.v. about this drug saying that it helps risk heart attacks.
My son calls me and tells me that he too was taking the same drug but went online to check it out and low and behold..it was really terrible the side effects because what the ads claim that it saves your risks for heart attacks was completely adverse to the side effects..that it can cause FATAL heart attacks.
That was it..I threw them in the garbage and did the old gramma's remedy. a white bean a day keeps the cholesterol a day..except I took like 3-6 a day.
One month later I went for a blood check-up and asked how my cholesterol was..the doctor said..well seems the drug works well, your cholestrol is fine.
I looked at him and I said,* I'm not taking it..I threw it out! Don't you know the severe consequences that it may lower your cholesterol but you can have a fatal heart attack..so you die from a heart attack even though you don't have it because your cholesterol is lower..and no one suspects that you were taking this drug and it killed you!*
So warning..always ask your doctor to look up the side effects and you can go online and find out what they are.
My girlfriend called me the other day asking if I knew something for cholesterol..so I told her what I was doing and why..she said oh my goodness am taking that drug and have not been feeling well.
I told her to go to see her doctor as I don't know how severe her cholesterol and to ask the doctor to give her something else. I couldn't tell her to throw them away like I did.
You taking drugs..check up on the side effects to make sure it won't kill you or cause other severe dammage to your organs.
I bought the book eat right for your blood type and one doesn't need to take drugs to lower cholesterol..just eat right..lose weight, exercise and you will live healthy long time.

Hi I have had the same experience, I have severe back pains and my doctor prescribe medication, I took the pills for about two weeks and there was no relief,one morning while looking at the tv the announcer called the name of the pills I was taking for the government ordered the pills off the market, meanwhile my girlfriend had similar back pains and said she started exercising and it helped, today I am back pain free.

Hi DancingRedFeather, can you tell me more about the white beans, do you buy the uncooked ones that come in a bag, do you just swallow them or chew them like that?

Yes of course the white uncooked ones..you just take water and swallow them when you first get up in the morning. You do not chew them, you must swallow whole.
