Benefits of Phytosterols, Niacin, and Co-enzyme CQ10?

I am excited now. I had gone to the doctor who wanted to put me on statins. I am no friend of Lipitor or whatever because of the horrible side effects those drugs have. So I went and bought me Co-enzyme CQ10,odor less garlic,vitamin C, Phytosterols, and Niacin. I was pretty skeptical–I had a cholesterol value of 278, a slight heart problem, and my HDL cholesterol was only 32. I faithfully took those supplements, and now I am excited. MY cholesterol is down to 196, my HDL is up to 48(I still need 2 more points to be ok), my triglycerides are normal, my blood pressure has gone down to 110/68—all this with natural stuff. As my doctor told me the Co-enzyme CQ10 is known to protect the heart. So why don’t more people get supplements instead of drugs? The Phytosterols in particular work better than statins because my cholesterol levels had gone down by 72 points in 10 weeks. And except for the phytosterols can you buy everything else cheap at walmart–is it because insurance companies don’t pay for supplements or what? Why do so many people keep on taking these drugs and damage their bodies rather than trying supplements?
I forgot to mention that I got me also flush free niacin which raises the good cholesterol(HDL)

Anyone heard of WelChol? Are meds absolutely necessary for cholesterol?

My health is excellent, but…my cholesterol is high. It has been high all of my life. The HDL is 60, but the LDL is 191. Triclycerides are 166.
My diet is good and I am NOT overweight. I do not eat fatty foods or foods high is cholesterol. I walk almost daily, except when the weather doesn’t allow. I do not smoke, and I do not have high blood pressure.
Doctors have been trying to prescribe me a statin for over 30 years. I have refused. The side effects and long-term liver damage proven from statins have kept me away. I did try to take a statin once, and on the 4th day I was too nauseous to continue.
I don’t take any medications, except a small dose of Levoxyl for a slightly underactive thryoid. (before I did that, my cholesterol jumped to over 300, which is why I agreed to take the thyroid med about 5 years ago)
Now the doctor is trying to convince me to take WelChol. It is not a statin, but blocks bile and inhibits cholesterol from being made. Side effects don’t look quite as horrific as a statin, but it can cause bowel blockages and worse.
Oh and yes, I have tried red yeast rice (got serious leg cramps after 4 months), but I do continue to take ‘cholesterol support’ vitamin w/ gugulipids, policosonol, garlic, niacin, etc. etc. None of these things have lowered the LDL, but they have helped with the HDL.
I would prefer to take NO medication. However, the doctors are scaring me with the idea of a stroke or heart attack.( My carotid artery test came out fine.) As I am getting older, I am worrying more about this one problem area of my health. Ideas please?

If Pravachol or Lipitor aren't working….?

will natural remedies have any effect of cholesterol? My Husband has been on both and his readings are sky high. 445 HDL and 11 LDL– total 214. He works out, eats pretty well, no fast food, not over weight and am trying to figure out what to get naturally for him until we see the doctor again. I did buy flaxseed oil and garlic to start and am going to get the other things I have seen that are supposed to lower the numbers but if the prescriptions don’t work is ANYTHING going to work?
He has been on these for YEARS!!! I wasn’t worried too much about the 214 as much as the 445 and 11 numbers-they seem very lopsided. Thanks for your answer.
