Need more info: How high is your cholesterol? What is the HDL and ldl? Have LDL subparticles been measured. Unless it is really high with a lot of small dense LDL you may not need to lower it. See http://www.Sott.Net/article/242516-heart-surgeon-speaks-out-on-what-really-causes-heart-disease & http://www.Cbn.Com/cbnnews/healthscience/2012/october/cholesterol-myth-what-really-causes-heart-disease/.
