Genes SUCK.

LDL, HDL, Try the fish oil, 1000mg PLUS flaxseed oil, 1000mg, BOTH are necessary to work. If you can take statins, EG Lipitor, TAKE them.

Do not let the doc off the hook on BP. Keep trying BP meds until you find one that works. Thats how its done. Not much on science, just try and see if it works. BP can kill you, so do not let it go for long. There are a dozen differen't kinds of BP meds, so don't take no for an answer, get it down to 120/80 or better. If you don't you are not getting your moneys worth out of the med. And if you doc dosen't agree, get another, its your life.

If your in an HMO, sorry, your dead.
