I should note that I only went back on the Lipitor for 2 days, then stopped. I am drastically changing my diet over the next 3 months, incorporating a number suggestions, here. Then, I'll get tested again and see where I stand.
What bothered me most about my last test, was that even though just 2 1/2 mg every other day had been working, and my original dosage was 10mg, my doctor, which I have a lot of respect for, immediately suggested 20mg. My jaw dropped. I said, why would I do that, when it was working on the minimum I was taking. In any case, he also said if it works for you (regarding the protocols), just keep doing it.
