My rationale behind this is these herbs are way less expensive and at this stage in his disease process I believe coupled with the modification of his lifestyle including diet, exercise, stress level and tobacco intake it would have been an effective way to maintain a healthy lifestyle and significantly lower his risk for heart disease.

Reduce Saturated Fats to less than 7% of total intake, encourage him to drink a glass of red wine a day, increase his daily fiber intake and also increase his sterol intake which is found in green leafy vegetables and other plants. Aerobic exercise 3x's/wk, weight control, eliminate tobacco if applicable, and minimize stress.
