Has anyone had success using Psyllium (ex. Metamucil) to lower
cholesterol levels?

Dietary changes and exercise have not helped and the doctor maintains
diet is only 15% of the problem and it is 85% genetic.  His solution is
one of the cholesterol-lowering medications.  I'm concerned about the
side effects and that the medication would be expected to continue
forever.

Thanks for any information you might share.
