The IBD has been a real challenge as it also includes Diverticulosis. Treatment w/ natural remedies have been only moderately effective and temporary. An attempt w/ Comfrey Root proved too toxic on only the second dose. The Master Cleanse has also proved helpful, but again, only temporary. Rummaging about and looking for anything, in desperation, stumbled upon a container of Glutamine which had not been used in awhile. At approx. 3-5 grms daily all three conditions have greatly improved in as little as one week time, and continue. The results were so pronounced that I simply had to report for anyone suffering from age related issues.

Timh,Can I have your permission to repost your post on another site? Some people struggle with muscle destruction as a result of statin use (more than you think) and might benefit from this information. Statin use is also frequently linked to memory problems, so this may help both.

@Rsw: By all means YES on the repost. In addition to Glutamine (in the amino acid category) Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) as well as Creatine may also be indicated for muscle fuel. High dose CoQ10 or Ubiquinol is also recommended. I would also give an alert to Dr Sinatra's recommendation to lower the statin dose as much or more than half, and I believe he also recommends Niacin in combo with the statins. Dr Sinatra has two excellent books on heart health as well as a YouTube channel.Replied by PayItForward from PNW on 05/04/2024
Statins do way more harm than good and they end lives more than they save. The fundamental problem is that many MD’s give patients the idea they get a free pass to eat unhealthy foods and live a toxic lifestyle, just take your statins. Getting off statin drugs is the first step - together with healthy whole unprocessed foods + healthy living.Another excellent post by Art Solbrig regarding treatment to reduce cholesterol and decrease atherosclerosis called "Nattokinase's Role in Effectively Treating High Cholesterol."
