The problem is not so much the high cholesterol, but the cholesterol that will stick the the arteries and clog it up. To get rid of cholesterol on the arteries, you can take fish oil which makes the cholesterol slippery and lecitin which will attach itself to the cholesterol and pull it into the blood and eventually out of your system. B complex also plays a roll in lowering the cholesterol.
Red rice yeast is a natural lowering cholesterol pill but you will not find this on the bottle because the FDA does not allow it to written.They cannot patent a natural item and charge you a fortune. They want you to take medication so you will be a cash cow for the phamaceutical industry, because that is how they make money. If everyone is healthy and does not need medication the pharmaceutical industry will go bankrupt, therefore they need people to get sick so they can keep on making money.
