Guest guest Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Good for you! Give yourself a big hug, you deserve it. I'm going to try these pills. Where do you get them? Sam PS Good for your DR too, being supportive of veg. diet. I'm still fat, but have lost 130 pounds. My blood pressure is actually a bit low. My bad cholesterol is low and my good cholesterol is high. My heart tests came back as really good. My doctor says it is all due to my vegetarian diet and making proper choices. He is pleased that the sugar pills worked to lower my cholesterol. Yep, sugar pills -Polycosinol - made from natural sugar cane. lol! It is kind of funny how the scientists are nattering on and on about this pill and that and drink wine, then don't drink wine, then drink a gallon a day, then no, then drink more water, then no because of water intoxication, then....too bad they just don't say ditch the animal flesh, walk or get moving, even in the wheelchair, and eat your veggies. Pass the broccoli. love to all, Jeanne PS: I've been out of the wheelchair for a year and a half now. Lacto-ovo vegetarian for close to 25 years.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 My doctor has me on Now Life policosanol capsules, which are actually vegetarian. I found some online (same ones) priced a lot lower than what I was paying at his office. Here's one link - you might find it in a local health foods store or even drug store. http://www.iherb.com/productdetails.aspx?c=1 & pid=743 & utm_source=gb & utm_medium=pf Hope the link works. If not, I found the online one at IHerb dot com. Read about the stuff online. Even the AMA approves, which is scary because they'll probably make us have to get a prescription for it soon. Personally I find that herbal supplements work better for me since I went vegetarian so long ago. Back when I was eating meat, they didn't do a thing. Wonder why...Jeanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
