There are a LOT of risks associated with statin drugs; if you have negative reactions to them, as described in these articles:

http://healthread.net/statindrugs.htm

you might want to just change your diet so your body can reduce cholesterol levels naturally. Since triglyceride levels and cholesterol levels seem to hand in hand, check this out: http://www.reducetriglycerides.com/t...ering_diet.htm (oh, just ignore whatever supplement they're selling).

My husband has had great success reducing both cholesterol & triglyceride levels by following the guidelines in that diet.... he couldn't handle the statin side effects.
