A member asked:
My cholesterol went down from 289 to 188 after 20 days of taking ten mg of lipitor (atorvastatin). is this possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, however...: Lipitor (atorvastatin) is a powerful drug & this is certainly possible. However, I am one of the minority of doctors who question whether this is a good thing! it may be reasonable to lower your cholesterol some but this may be too much!see http://www.Naturalnews.Com/033975_high_cholesterol_heart_attacks.Html & http://www.Cbn.Com/cbnnews/healthscience/2012/october/cholesterol-myth-what-really-causes-heart-disease.
