Lowering my cholesterol

Last week our doctor prescribed Ezetrol to lower my cholesterol.  It isn't a statin drug, so I agreed to take it.  However, my research indicated it was also known to sometimes cause muscle problems.  There is no way I need any more muscle issues going on, so I'm not going to take it.  Jim's sister Carly suggested I try flax seeds and chia seeds.  Both are known to lower cholesterol.  Also Chia seeds are a  major source of omega-3. They also contain high amounts of antioxidants, fiber, protein, calcium, magnesium and iron.  They have been recently touted as the new 'superfood'.  They are an amazing source of long-term energy.  So I will be taking 2 tablespoons of ground flax and 2 tablespoons of ground chia daily, and I'll let you know in a month when I have my next blood test how they worked at lowering my cholesterol.
