Is taking red yeast rice, and vytorin to much on the liver to lower cholesterol? Anyone have answers to this? I also take Lecithine, Fish Oil, and Milk Thistle to help on the liver. Any answers? Help!
Have you thought about trying to get off the meds and eat healthier to maintain your health? I've recently read about the RYR to lower cholesterol, but keep in mind that if you're eating unhealthy, you're probably causing a lot of oxidative damage (or other damage) to your organs and tissues, thus forcing your body to create more cholesterol to repair the damage. Cholesterol is something you can intake via foods, but you make a lot based on need to repair and sustain your body. Health is a choice, and the medical community would have you believe that your cholesterol needs to be lower (well, they sell more drugs that way) when in fact it may be high for a reason. If you short circuit your body's attempts to sustain itself, it may cause you more trouble in the long run if you can't rebuild properly. Just a thought.
