I will definitely bear that in mind, Ruth! There is really no way of knowing what my own cholesterol is without getting it tested, so I don't want to rely on something which may not work! (Getting me to the doctor's is a hard task! LOL!)
In all my knowledge of herbal medicine since the 1980s Garlic has been recommended for lowering cholesterol, so I have been relying on it to a great extent. There are other herbs which are supposed to be effective as well.
But I think the best thing is to go with what you trust if you know it will help you.
