  1. I have been prescribed stain to lower cholesterol and am not
    keen on taking any drugs. I am determined to do it by diet.
    Can statins be used as a quick fix if I slip up on my diet
    occasionally.....like taking one after a BBQ or do they have
    to be taken as a complete course.

    Umm, have you asked your doctor? I rather think they are
    meant as a maintenance drug. Many MDs think they (statins)
    are just great, incl. some I respect. But they do not work
    for everyone.
