CODEX - Will it affect you?
I am sure that many of our readers are aware of the 'battle' quietly going on behind the scenes relating to CODEX in Europe. In essence the 'battle' which is being waged is between the natural products and health freedom movements and that of the pharmaceutical lobby.
Although most of this activity is taking place in Europe the rest of the world is not immune to whatever is finally determined in these meetings.
Doctor says..."take a statin"
Question from Eric: On April 1, 2006, I took a two-week break from Cholest-Natural. When the break was over, I resumed taking two soft gels per day. A check-up on April 19 showed my cholesterol at 198, LDL at 142, HDL at 32, and triglicerides at 121. My doctor advised me to begin taking a statin medication.
I rejected this advice, explaining that I had recently ended a two-week break from taking a supplement that had been very effective in maintaining these indicators within a healthy range in the past.
