I just had a bad experience with statins. For days I was feeling weak and dizzy and had had terrible temper which scared me a lot, including my home companions. I dont; think statins are for me. Anyone there who could give me advice what to do to lower my bad cholesterol without taking statins? I love fruits and vegetables but of course can't eat just that? Aside from Walnuts, anything else I could enjoy eating while getting rid of the bad? Thanks a lot!

Studies are showing that Vitamin D is a cheaper, safer alternative to statins.

Vitamin D deficiency is epidemic since we've become so afraid of the sun.

For light-skinned people 20 minutes in the sun during the summer without sunblock--6-10x more time for dark skinned people.

During the rest of the year supplement at least 1000 IU vitamin D3/day.
