I took Lipitor for three months and it dropped my cholesterol 100 points. Doc wanted me to keep taking it to balance LDLs and HDLs but I said no. I can do it nutritionally. I took tocotrienols and changed my diet. Three months later, all was in perfect balance. I'm posting on a physicians board about Lipitor, and several docs have contacted me to see exactly what it was that worked for me.
The Protein Power Plan diet reputedly lowers blood pressure and cholesterol. It's a very easy diet to follow and you might find that it works for you too. The book, The Protein Power Plan, is available at amazon.com and all over the place. Written by two physicians, Mary and Michael Eades, who have had excellent results with thier patients.
Thanks for the info. I'm waiting to see what my cholesterol reading will be at the next blood screening. I've been on the Atkins Diet for over a year. That is pretty much a Protein diet. The doc says my cholesterol is genetic, to which I reply, "if it's genetic why should I worry?" I use supplements for everything. I know about the Vit E healing and the Vit C prevention. I take a good multi-vit, 1000 mg Vit C, 400iu Vit E, Super B Complex, a Flaxseed/fish oil combo, and a Flush Free Niacin (for cholesterol) daily. I haven't had a cold in years, and have no aches or pains and I feel great. I'm 71 and can run up 37 steps without getting winded (I do that at the park).
