It is not a disease but a metabolic derangement that can be secondary to many diseases and can contribute to many forms of disease, most notably cardiovascular disease.

There are a lot of non-subscription healthy alternatives to aid with high cholesterol and BP etc.

I haven't taken Zetia or any cholesterol drug for quite some time, but I do eat a lot of almonds, walnuts, goji berries, etc. and I am doing well. Still need to lose a few pounds, but my doctor is happy with the numbers. Oatmeal, goji, whole grains...and walking 3 times (at least a week) really help.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I also make lentils in a slow cooker that is no added fats - tastes great.
