The Boston Globe reported recently that there are no easy answers to heart health. Robert Superko, veteran cholesterol researcher, said, “There’s a huge number of people who are still having heart attacks while on (statin) drugs.” Raising HDL with exercise and niacin might be a bigger factor than lowering LDL, the bad cholesterol, according to the disappointing findings in a study in Circulation. And that doesn’t even consider the frequent nasty side effects with the statins. The best answer is to get a comprehensive evaluation and consider treatment with intravenous chelation therapy from an integrative doc. Somehow that was left out of the 328-page book on the subject just released by the AMA.
You can find a doctor at the International College of Integrative Medicine website.
