    Why is it that on every page I look at there are ads for crestor and lipitor?? do they now own all doctors and are they the all powerful with God given rights to determine what is said about this topic?? We should be more concerned with the Natural way of lowering medium high levels of cholesterol  220-248 rather than saying take a pill! Especially if trigliceroids are low and the good cholesterol is high, with no other risk factors being present! In depth discussion should be here somewhere about how to naturally reduce the numbers and it is not!

    I firmly believe that if a drug is not ABSULOUTLY necesary because of poor health - that drug should not be taken just to satisfy the whims of the pharmasuticle companies and or doctors who are not getting perks for prescribing said medications!!

     

    If I had my way I would ban all prescription advertising on U.S. Telivision!! Like it is in Europe! Oh you should ad spell check to this site!!!
