Leaving Lipitor and leaving "statins"

I have been on Lipitor for over 10 years. My dad's doctor gave it to me saying that I needed it do to this strong history of heart disease my family.

Doing Lipitor for over 10 years. Wow ! And I am still under 40.

So I had a great conversation with the very intelligent woman and she told me "do you know the side effects of Lipitor?"

Of course I knew the answer that the very common side effect is muscle degeneration and muscle weakness.

" What is your heart ?" she asked me, " Isn't that one big muscle?"

She was right and I was shocked.

So now I have cut out Lipitor eve rsince I change my lifestyle and I have been taking natural supplements to reduce cholesterol. Did you know that there are natural supplements to reduce cholesterol?

Here is a photograph of two, when I read the labels they both seem to work a little differently. I have been using Choleast. I have yet to do my blood test since I left the Lipitor, but once I do it I will let you know how it goes.

I can tell you in the 6 weeks since I have given up Lipitor my energy levels have shot up and I now sometimes do push ups in the evening cause I have so much energy. !!
