He may have. It makes sense to me to spread it out. Which is what I do. Just because 11 capsules are so many. I go though a 400 capsule bottle every 38 days. Davis made a comment recently that 1000 mg of Niacin is the best level to stay at. Over that you get diminishing returns and up your chances of liver problems. I am at 1000 now and will stay there. I take the Fish oil, Niacin and vitamin D, along with Soy protein powder, Flax seed and oat bran. Added 100mcp of K-2 back since I am now off Warfarin and continue DHEA. 1000 mg of Vitamin C and a multivitamin are taken on a "Couldn't hurt" basis. The only med I am short now is 30mg of Armour thyroid. I will have to skip it because I cannot get a Doctor to write the script and I don't want to take it with an non-script online buy without getting my TSH level checked every 90 days. Which I can't get them to order if I am not prescribed by them. It is so frustrating to have statins, which I have little or no need for, shoved at me, while I can't get the medicine and tests I do need. If I quit them and go fee-for-service, I would end up going from Doctor to Doctor trying to find one that agrees with my approach. That is what the TYP people I post with are up against all over the mainland, with little or no success. My only test I lack is an advanced lipid analysis, which I intend to talk the Cardio in to ordering when I see him on Mar 31st. In the meantime my approach covers everything I would do if I knew the results and they were as I guess they are. High small LDL. It's a shotgun approach, which is the best when dealing with heart disease because there is so much still unknown about it. What we do know for sure is that it's a chronic condition set off by inflammation. So I what I do is designed to slow/stop/regress the condition and cut inflammation. I have been lucky enough to regress the condition. So I will keep that up, and make sure inflammation does not pop up. That's about all anyone can do. I am way, way ahead of the average CAD patient.
