Subject: RE: CS>Red Yeast Rice & Cholesterol
There is some report on the internet (can't find it now) that stated the FDA
banned Red Yeast as a university study found red yeast to be ___effective as
drugs___the FDA there upon classified Red Yeast a "New Drug" and banned its
importation. I emailed the FDA and never got a reply (that I know of).
WARNING one should not take red yeast when they are taking zocor, etc as they
effect will be too strong and side affects will happen. Do a web search under
"Distillers Grain" and you'll find its used as livestock feed and being studied
as an alternative to antibiotics etc. Healthier and more beneficial for
livestock ... so the FDA bans it for human consumption. I think a google on
Statin drugs will also show up red yeasts, or fermented foods.

I am sure in most cases this is true, but I have been taking zocor for
the last 18 years and my good cholesterol count is horrible, I have had 3
attacks of pancreastitis in the last 15 years and my gal bladder removed on the
last attack want to stop taking the zocor so am looking into different things,
thanks for all the info I have now been told I have MSX I am now taking all the
things mentioned here and then a lot more last count 23 different herbs, would
like to cut it down to less
