A great number of people who cannot take statins can take fish oil and flax seed oil. There is a proven benefit, for a broad number of people from this regimen. Just like the drugs, eg Lipitor, not everyone can take them.

In general I do not agree with the health food finatics and their so called "natural" solutions. But this one seems to work for me and a lot of others, for real. A couple of blood tests can prove if it works for you, talk to your physician about it. The only reason I did it was I couldn't take any statins and the doc said try it. I was relunctant, but I tried it because I had no other choice.
