What a combination but they work lowering the Cholestrol...

My Doc said eating two small dill pickles, two tbs of flax seed on or in stuff and 300mg of Niacin(non-flushing kind) per day will lower Cholestrol by 20%...I and my sister started doing this three months ago and we were high the Cholestrol for her was 278 mine was 218 now hers is 190 and mine is 180...

And if you have high blood pressue like i do with salt for what ever reason I can't explaine it but maybe using them together does NOT raise my blood pressure up having the small dill pickles. But all must be eaten in the same day to work..
