What Is The Treatment To Control Cholesterol Level?

My cholesterol is 24 points high, so my doctor put me on a statin medication. I had a bad reaction to this, which is not uncommon since I have had problems handling some medications. How could I lower my cholesterol without going on a statin medication?
