A member asked:
Can you tell me if there is any alternative medicine for atherosclerosis or arteriosclerosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Statins=best: A vegetarian or Mediterranean diet is the foundation. Daily exercise and not smoking are crucial. Statins are the meds with the best data. If you can't tolerate them, Niacin and fish oils have less robust data but lower cholesterol. Fibrates, Resin binders, and Zetia (ezetimibe) are weak alternatives.
