Lipitor, the
cholesterol-lowering treatment, remains
the best-selling drug in
America. But are there cheap generic drug
alternatives that are just as effective as
Lipitor?

You do not need to take cholesterol
reducing drugs, you can do it naturally
with a low carb diet. Unless your
cholesterol is dangerously high due to a
genetic condition you should not need to
take drugs which are incredibly dangerous.
You need cholesterol to stay healthy and
the doctors' obsession with eliminating it
just shows how bad their knowledge of the
subject is. Research into low carb/high
fat diets, this will get your bad LDL
reduced and your good HDL raised, but more
importantly, will reduce your
triglycerides which are the truly bad
blood lipids. Save your money, don't buy
drugs, buy good food instead.

I disagree that just a healthy lifestyle
will help. If it is a genetic condition,
good eating habits are not just what you
need. You may need something else. Ask
your doctor or pharmacist if there is
something else you can substitue. I know
there is Cholestoff. That is a vitamin
supplement. Good luck

Have you guys seen the list of conditions
associated with Statin drugs like
Lipitor?
Diarrhea, headaches, kidney disease,
sexual dysfunction, muscular problems and
more and more.
There is NO WAY that I would go near
Statin drugs.
