Seems like high-cost prescription medications and diets are the thing people are using to lower their cholesterol.....I've found an all-natural product (3 tablets with breakfast) that has lowered my cholesterol from 215 to 172 and my dad's dropped 77 points....even after being on cholesterol medication for a year! And while you don't have to diet while on this product, I do (try to) watch my fat intake and get some exercise. Sincerely, Mark
