My friend who lives in New Hampshire is a nurse who was diagnosed with high cholesterol. Her friend suggested that instead of taking any of the statins she try taking three whole yellow peas daily. Her friend said that the same chemical as found in the statins was in the peas. So she left the drugs on the shelf and started taking the peas. When she returned to the doc to have her levels checked a few months later the doc was please to report that her numbers where back within the safe range.
Wouldn't that be totally amazing if it works? I'm off to find a supply of yellow peas!!!

Are these yellow peas fresh or are they dried?
Loved the 'ducks in heaven' and the 'housework' ~ specially since trying to vacuum today!!

Hi Mary....what about those yellow peas??? I never heard of them. Did you find any?

I've read quite a bit of anecdotal research about statin drugs causing dementia in susceptible individuals. My mom, who is just now being diagnosed with FTD, began to have symptoms after being put on Lipitor and they skyrocketed after being switched to simvastatin. She has just recently stopped taking them. What are your thoughts on statins?
