Lipofen

User Ratings:
-10	Effectiveness
9.6	Side Effects
0	Holistic Benefits

I have stopped and started three times, to be sure it was the Lipofen causing me the problems and got the same results every time. This being a non statin my doctor thought it might work on me because all Crestor and other statin type drugs have made me very ill. Don't know where to go from here; wish I knew why both statins and this make me so sick, and if there is another route to take.

Yasmin

User Ratings:
6	Effectiveness
5.2	Side Effects
5.6	Holistic Benefits

(Using this pill for 2 1/2 years) Pros: Yasmin did a good job of preventing pregnancy, it cleared my skin and made my hair shiny. Cons: I've had more breast tenderness while on this pill, especially a week before my period, which I'm sure contributed to my mood swings. In the first year, I had issues with migraines, but that's calmed down during the second year. It also has been difficult to control my weight, which is my biggest issue with it. I'm ready to try something new, any sugge... View full comment

Simvastatin

User Ratings:
6.1	Effectiveness
3.7	Side Effects
4.6	Holistic Benefits

I have only just realised how many problems, I had in the last 2 years, were side effects from taking Simvastatin. I may be one of a small minority but if your medical checkups are only once a year and you haven't been appraised of the potential side effects then you suffer unnecessarily. When the doctor who prescribes the drug for you is not astute, or enlightened, enough to pick up your problems as side effects then this just compounds the problems.

Moringa Oleifera

User Ratings:
5.1	Effectiveness
5.3	Side Effects
5.7	Holistic Benefits

I am taking Moringa to help with calcium uptake as I cannot take dairy products (lactose intolerance) or elemental calcium due to family history of cardiac disease and arterial sclerosis. I have found that even taking one pill per day has increased my alertness, decreased joint pain and decreased stress. What I do not like is the nausea I experience. I am not sure if it is because I am taking it with other vitamins but plan to see if this still occurs when I take it at lunch well after my mo... View full comment
