Yes, that may be the best idea. Crestor makes me feel physically like a 95 year old and mentally like an Alzheimers victim in the advanced stage and I am only taking the lowest dose (5mg) - so this is not going to work for me. What concerns me, is the study which came out a couple of years ago, saying that Tasigna can increase LDL by 40% or more, so I am not sure how far natural remedies will go. But, I suppose, I won't know till I try. .......goodbye kolbassa, hello carrot sticks.........
