Hi, I am very skeptic about meds. Thank God, Dr. didn't prescribe me any meds as well. I am having apples, grapes, bananas, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, ginger, celery and cholesterol free oil. Ooo.. in the morning I'm taking "Quaker Oats" with skimmed milk. Rejecting red meat and taking only chicken and fish.
Check out the next forwarded mail. Its so true.... Please take care and keep in touch :-) Shahidul On Sat, Apr 4, 2009 at 8:45 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > In a message dated 4/3/2009 3:33:45 AM Eastern Daylight Time, > [email protected] writes: > > Anyway, I am having "high risk" LDL cholesterol (160) in the check up.
