It true when they say: "Knowledge is Power." Sometimes, even though we try to eat right and do all the proper things, we still develop problems. During a recent visit to my heart doctor, I discovered I have high cholesterol and a high triglyceride count. I'm currently taking a prescription medicine prescribed by the doctor. I know that exercise and diet play a big role in high cholesterol/triglycerides. I'm walking more every day and have made a few changes to my diet. Some of the high cholesterol medicines can cause liver damage.
This concerns me. My goal is to get off of my prescription medicine as soon as possible. I do not have high blood pressure because of a potassium supplement I take once a day. So I feel confident I will eventually find a supplement to help with my high cholesterol/triglycerides problem. I caution you: Please, do not stop seeing your doctor for any reason, especially because of something you read on my website. I really enjoy visiting my local health food store. The people are very knowledgeable about the many supplements available.
I found there is a supplement for almost any health issue. I have found that most people who work in health food stores are familiar with their products and their purpose. Remember, these products are not FDA approved. That doesn't mean they won't work or they are harmful. Most have been tried and tested for many years by people who have used them with good results. You should always follow the instructions included with any supplement you purchase, the same as you would with a prescription medicine.
If you do decide to try a supplement of some kind, inform your doctor so he can make any required adjustments to your medication. Note of interest: It is my understanding the FDA approves medicines because they do what the pharmaceutical company claims. They do not test them for harmful side effects before they go on the market. This is why some medicines are recalled after being approved by the FDA.
All the information on my website: pat@Topnotchherbalsupplements.com is general information available to anyone. All I have done is combined them as a convenience for visitors to my site. I know a bit about preventive medicine, I love to read articles about improving my health and if they seem practical, I try them. Some I have been happy with, others not so much. Personally, I do not want to live to an old age if I can't be healthy and do the things I enjoy. When I decided to do my website I wanted to be sure that all the articles on it would be interesting and informative allowing each individual to reach their own conclusion. I feel each of us must take control of our own health. That doesn't mean you stop going to the doctor. It means, the more informed you are the better you will be able to work with your doctor in keeping you and your loved ones healthy.
I hope you enjoy browsing my website and that you find something that will lead you in the right direction to a healthier lifestyle.
Here's to healthier living for you and yours.
Pat
