I have had high cholesteral for years and my Dr. convinced me to take a Statin drug to reduce it. The side effects were horrible and I told him I wouldnt take it anymore but would go on an excersize program. This was the same time as our June conf. He said it probably wouldnt work and I would be at the same cholesteral level in 3 months. Low and behold , 3 months later after walking everyday for 1-2 miles, I had reduced it and maintained 60 points. I havnt missed a day since June 2,07.   Bob Lowy
