What about using over-the-counter and herbal products to lower my cholesterol? Do they really work?

Frequently Asked Cardiac Questions - Dr Barry J Bellovin MD ...
Sometimes. Many preparations (including Metamucil) contain soluble fiber, which can lower cholesterol up to 10%. Garlic products can help, but usually not by very much. Niacin is very effective, but only in very high doses (usually more than 1000 mg per day). In those doses, it tends to have more side effects than prescription drugs. Of course, no drug, prescription or herbal, is a substitute for a proper diet!

Are vampyres REALLY the 'bad-guys'?

alt.vampyres FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Version 7.0

Remember, the original vampires in lore were creatures that fed upon humans and usually killed them. Plagues and viral infections were sometimes ascribed to vampire attacks. The romantic vampires, as portrayed by Bela Lugosi and written about by Anne Rice were nowhere close to the rotting corpses that came and destroyed whole families (or sometimes whole villages) in the legends.
