Hi. Just reading about your husband and his problem. My husband is the same. He will not take (or does not want to take) any meds , if he does not have to. His is 56yrs. old. Last visit to the doc and check up, with blood work showed his cholesterol was high. Doctor wanted to put him on meds, and he said "I'll think about it." I believe his count was 230 maybe more.
I did a lot of research, and my Aunt told me many years ago, her Heart Doctor told her to take Metamucil... I thought, why not... He started it last January 07. First thing every morning, in a glass of water 2 tablespoons. He had his checkup a month ago, and his Cholesterol was 192!!!!! He could not believe it.. He even asked the doctor, Are you sure???? He has not changed his eating habits, or done anything different. It was wonderful. I started it last week.. I even put mine in a tall glass of Prune Juice.... wow... What can I say, I love the juice. We shall see how this goes for me. Mine was 224 last blood test... I hope this might help for him, its worth the try, If he can handle the fiber... Good luck..
