My uncle has always had high blood pressure and high cholesterol. A while back he started using natural cholesterol supplements and they really seem to be working great. Most of the traditional cholesterol lowering medications have very risky side effects and his doctor actually recommended that he try taking a natural supplement before taking a prescription for it. Most doctors try and push the newest drugs on you, but his doctor likes to try whatever actually works the best, rather than making more money by pushing risky medications on his patients.
