I have a dear friend who has high Triglycerides. His doctor put him on some meds that caused all kinds of side effects. He goes back to his doctor & says this is the problem I’m having so the doctor puts him on Antara. Now my friend is in bed almost ½ a day every day due to the pain he is in. He cannot walk for any distance as these meds are zapping his energy level & he is in sooo much pain, he can barely move. When I checked for side effects of this drug, I found… Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); chills or sore throat; dark urine; fever; muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness; pale stools; red, swollen, blistered or peeling skin; severe or persistent nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain; unusual bruising or bleeding; yellowing of the skin or eyes, inflammation in lungs caused by allergic reaction, Hepatitis caused by drugs, Gallstones, acute inflammation of the pancreas (extremely painful), serious muscle tissue damage, muscle weakness, muscle pain, muscle inflammation, irreversible muscular atrophy (muscles lose strength that may never come back), decreased blood platelets, deficiency of Granulocytes (a Type of White Blood Cell), can also cause an elevation in liver enzymes (it’s killing the liver you can’t live without). In my research I found where doctors are planning on putting children as young as 8 year olds on these meds. Would you give your child meds that in effect debilitates them & can cause worse problems than high Triglycerides??? Do you really trust the medical profession that completely??? Does anyone know any ALL NATURAL treatment that might be safer???

Oh yeah its a law they have to least every side effect you can possibly get even though most people don't have side effects no where near that bad. Thats very odd a child is getting medication for high triglyerides as their too young to need it at the time. Thats usually given to adults as a last resort if they can't keep the problem from happening by useing diet and exercise.

http://hubpages.com/hub/lowertriglyceridesnaturally http://www.reducetriglycerides.com/lower_triglycerides.htm Here are a couple of websites that explain triglycerides and how to control them with diet and exercise. I wish I knew enough about herbs to tell you which ones will lower triglycerides, but I don't, and I haven't found it in any of my herb books. I wish there was a pill we could swallow to eliminate illness, but usually the pills the Dr gives us has side effects and it's up to us to change our lifestyle in order to manage our health naturally.
