How Can Elevated Cholesterol Levels Be Treated?
Hi- I have had 2 heart attacks -one stent The last heart attack was 13 yrs ago. I have high cholesterol and cannot tolerate statin drugs. I am a vegan out of necessity but nothing I seem to do lowers my cholesterol, including exercise. I have tried various natural remedies and am now taking cacao twice a day in almond milk-don t really have much hope this will work. My hdl is very good 85, but ldl is 167. would love some suggestions. Thank you, T
