Fish Oil Capules & Ground Flax VS. Chol/Trig Meds

kelly_a

I have had high cholesterol and trigs most of my life. My highest trig was over 500 and highest chol was near 270. Wt loss and exercise helped lower my trigs....and slightly my chol. My cardiologist put me on Crestor 40mg over a yr ago and within 3 mos everything was pretty normal. Last Fall I started using ground flaxseed and taking 1-2 fish oil capsules a day. the numbers came down even more. chol runs around 175, trigs 90, hdl 70, ldl 90. I also try to eat fish ( tuna, salmon ) a couple of times a week. I will be having lipids tested again the early part of July.

I was just wondering if anyone has been able to go off meds and just use fish oil, flax & fish diet?
