Q: Christians – Explain?
Latest news from the American Heart Association:
“The ENHANCE trial found that the ezetimibe/simvastatin (Zetia/Zocor) combination drug known as Vytorin was no more effective in reducing artery plaque build-up than simvastatin (Zocor) alone.
Additional studies by the Institute of Creation Studies showed that accepting Christ into one’s heart only mildly improved the artery plaque build-up situation, but greatly reduced sexual performance. “
What say you?
A: Oh my. They must not be studying the right people.

A: I would suggest asking a doctor, but it appears you’ve already done so. To call it safe, I’d stay off the alcohol as much as possible. You have plenty of recreation to stay healthy, but that doesn’t completely prevent a reoccuring issue. As for the medication, that is definitely a doctor issue that I wouldn’t take advice from off this page.
