   There's two drugs that I always take, or try to. And those two drugs   
   both map DIRECTLY to why I ended up in the ICU, doing what they called   
   "The Death Rattle." Those drugs are...   
      
   #1.  Gemfibrozil   
      
   It's for my triglycerides, which are so bad that people who know what   
   they are call me a liar, thinking they could never get that high.   
      
   This Gemfibrozil works, btw. So doesn't a strict regiment of fish oil   
   if we're speaking of AT LEAST 1,000 mg a day NOT of the fish oil but   
   the DHA & EPA. ANY amount is helpful but if you want to use it to   
   lower those triglycerides then make sure you're taking AT LEAST 1,000   
   mg per day -- OF THE DHA & EPA!   
      
   Lots of fish oil will say "1,000mg" on the label, when it's only the   
   oil itself, and the DHA & EPA can be down in the hundreds.   
      
   EVEN THAT IS GOOD FOR YOU, but never going to take a chunk out of your   
   triglycerides...   
      
   #2.  Trulicity   
      
   It's a really good medication for Type-2 diabetes. It's a needle --   
   well. A pen -- and it can hurt but it's only once a week and it   
   actually works! It lowers my blood sugars, let's me eat loads of   
   crap, drink a lot of Coke & shit.   
      
   Not in love with any other pills.
