Cholesterol...

I'm no doctor, but those with high cholesterol might give this a shot - it worked for me.
My numbers were somewhat high last summer(230), so my doctor put me on Omega 3fish oil capsules - 2400 mg per day - one 600 mg with each meal and one a bedtime. In a month it was down to 203 - pretty drastic drop. They are inexpensie and over the counter, so I'm on no prescription meds for it. Just check the labeling - make sure it's mercury free and not loaded with additives. Doc had written a prescription for the Omega 3 - super refined and pharmaceutical grade - but at $150 a month, I opted just to find a good grade of OTC on my own.
And oatmeal really will help to lower it too. I just can't go oatmeal or Cheerios everyday. BLAH!!!

My husband got his numbers to drop quickly with the Omega3 Fish Oil and Garlic capsules.
It was inexpensive, he had no side effects, and his numbers looked perfect after about 6 months.

I've been taking fish oil tablets 2 per day. The only side effect I don't like is the burping that tastes like fish. Blech!!! I won't get the results back till Friday.
