Marilynn, my husband has familial hypercholesteremia; inherited from his mother. She's currently 86, fit, healthy, and active. Her father, from whom she inherited FH, reached his 90s, without ever taking a single statin. My husband used to take a statin, but soon developed muscular weakness, so he stopped the drug.
Apple Cider Vinegar: research shows it to be a cure for allergies (ask my wife and brother), sinus infections, acne, HIGH CHOLESTEROL (friends mother came off Statins and reduced her cholesterol by daily ACV intake), flu, fatigue, candida, acid reflux, sore throats, contact dermatitis, arthritis, and gout. ACV breaks down fat and is widely used to lose weight. A daily dose (tablespoon)of ACV in water has HIGH BLOOD pressure under control in two weeks. Best ACV is organic and cold pressed.
Can Marilyn please quote research in support of her argument, as Malcolm does. Opinions do not help. The assertion in the last message needs to be backed up with a reference if it is true.
It is true that not all FH patients, even if untreated, suffer from early heart disease. However, we currently are unable to predict which FH patients are destined to suffer from early heart disease and which aren't. However, that is true in many areas of medicine. It is a question of probabilities. If you have FH, your chance of developing early heart disease is much higher than normal. Therefore, it is a very good idea for people with FH to be treated with a statin.
My husband, daughter and mother-in-law have heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). FH is caused by a mutation and results in very high LDL. Even members of THINCS do not usually deny that there is a higher rate of heart disease in FH patients than in the general population, although they argue that the rate of heart disease in FH has been exaggerated.
