Taking a garlic supplement has helped my numbers tremendously. Statins give me liver failure. Diet helps a lot too. For this avoid beef, nuts (except walnuts), anything but non fat dairy, sugary drinks and unfortunately fruit. Good Luck!

I have been taking both statin and none statin drugs since 2016 and never got below 260. 4 months ago I quit all white starches [wheat/potatoes] and all types of sugar [including fruit/honey/manmade] because my sugar was creeping up and I recently tested at 240. A real breakthrough, even with non statin meds.

My doctor has me taking double doses of omega 3. My cholesterol is down to about 230. Not as low as they want it but not terrible either.
