Whole Yellow Peas / Carrots

A pharmacist told a friend that swallowing three raw yellow peas three times a day (9 total), would replace the cholesterol lowering medicine he was taking. The friend confirms it works.

But, I hated swallowing the peas, so when I was recently prescribed cholesterol medicine at 214 total chol. I took the medicine and only changed my diet to include 2 carrots a day, one aspirin every morning and a cup of tea at night. Three weeks later my cholesterol was 157 and I was symptomatic. I was told to stop taking the medicine until I could be checked at my next appt.

I plan on using diet to increase good cholesterol/decrease bad cholesterol, while reminding myself that too low total cholesterol is as dangerous as too high.
