I just got my blood results back and they show high cholesterol levels (TC 226, HDL 38, LDL 151, TRIG 180). My heart doctor recommended taking 2 fish oil pills a day and 20mg of Crestor daily. I asked if changing my diet and exercising could help, but the doctor said it would only improve my condition by 10% at best. My father had a heart attack and double bypass surgery, and I'm concerned about my own cardiovascular health. Is there anything I can try before committing to long-term medication?

I have been experiencing spells of nausea and loose stools every 2-3 weeks, sometimes after eating fish or other foods. I feel chilly and hot for a while, then feel better after frequent bowel movements. I eat a lot of fruit and nuts. Should I change my diet, and could this be related to salmonella, colon cancer, or another condition? I'm an R.N. and very anxious about this.

Need help with my wife's Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). She was diagnosed locally in Pinetop, AZ, but struggles to trust the counselor and is showing signs of depression and impulsivity that could harm our family. What is the best therapy for managing BPD symptoms, and where can we find such therapy in Arizona?
