I'm obviously not a health professional, but this antioxidant seems to really help with cholesterol and plaque. (Not just one pill, 3 or 4 or more at a time depending on how intense your problem is.) And some say it's just an antioxidant to help get rid of free radicals, but some professionals say it has more antibiotic than....I forget what. I used to have frequent ear infections due to dust allergy, only get a little discomfort once in a while now. It lowered my b.p. too. I'd been taking Dyazide maybe 40 years, and about a year ago b.p. went too low, so I was off one of my meds.

At first I worried that it might be Addison's, glad I don't have to take cortizone, which causes a lot of unsightly swelling. Thank God for garlic.

Thanks Eagle for the advice. I do the garlic thing 2 cloves a day. I am interested in the dyazide you're taking. have you had any horrible side effects from it. I really need help lowering my bp (top #). I'm not too concerned about the cholesterol or the diabetes at this point. With all my exercising the bp stays at 140/70. Diet doesn't seem to help. I wondered what bp meds diabetics on this board found favorable. Any info would be appreciated.

I do have and take some B vitamins, but didn't know you could take them so often and excess would be excreted. Soon as I finish this I'll go get some, and I'm also taking Co-Enzyme Q10 and other antioxidents, beginning to feel a lot better. You did know a lot about the subject after all.

PS, editing to say I no longer take dyazide, b.p. even went "too low" after about 40 years of taking it twice a day. Thanks for caring and posting info and Good Luck to you.
