Naturopathic Views on Statins
Sunday, October 16th, 2005
Listen to Statins Podcast
In this podcast, Portland naturopathic doctors, Dr. Greg Eckel and Dr. Greg Nigh discuss statins, drugs that are prescribed to lower cholesterol. They discuss what the risks are in using statins to balance out the cholesterol, rather than addressing the underlying cause of the imbalance. Drugs are the most common way that conventional medicine will use to address high cholesterol. They will explain to you the naturopathic way of addressing it through fixing the underlying cause of the elevated cholesterol, which will ultimately give you the ability to bring your cholesterol level back down, in a way that is healthy, safe and often permanent.
