A friend of mine took herself off Lipitor - with her Dr's knowledge but not permission.

She had researched it and very awful things can happen, especially if one takes it long term. Of course, you are not told that when you get the scrip!

There is a product I am trying to research as my friend tries to research other stuff. I have seen an ad on US tv for Garlic-ex or something. Supposedly it works well for some people - the ad refers to this patient and his doctor both liking it.

I'll try Googling it again, but I can't recall the name.

Kim - maybe he'd check something natural with his doc?

Prayers headed your way!
