CABG… That is the procedure…Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting…..hence the  “cabbage” word. It has taken me a full year…but I have gotten my chol down to  123 with half a Zetia(5mg) and .5 Zocor(every third day). I have my oatmeal with  flax every day and a powdered mix called BOIS LIFE….a fiber plus mix. I never  thought it possible…but I did it. I have heard of others doing the same…in  that I mean NO statins and good chol numbers. It just took me a bit longer than  most. Read and explore your options. Good Luck. Please and Thanx, Bogie
