A colleague of mine just had a heart attack few days ago, his blood pressure and cholesterol numbers were all check out. As a matter of fact, he lost over 30 lbs since last Fall. He is still in a drug induced coma after the double bypass. The doctors tried to bring him out of the coma but his condition worsen and they had to put him back in the coma just to keep him alive. No one knows if he can pull through yet.

Well, the previous statin drugs were tested with a 2000 size group while Crestor was tested with a 12000 size group. Also, with Crestor you can take a much lower dose with higher effacacy. However, if you feel that with exercise and a sensible diet you can this, that or the other then perhaps you need to test that theory of yours out. It takes a bloodtest for before your new regimen and after. If before you have so much undesirables, you do a blood test say 6 months later and if you still have that bad stuff then you know your regimen has failed.
