I hope it will help lower my triglyerides which are horrendous.  Without
treatment they have been as high as 775 with a slightly lower or matching
cholesterol.  All a part of Type III familial hypercholestemia which is
acerbated by hypothyroidism.   This is a very rare condition (an orphan
disease) of which only 1 in 10,000 show active symptoms.
