I have personally never experienced a cholesterol drop from flushing. However, I did discover that there is a direct link of cholesterol to sugar. Since cutting out virtually all procesed Sugar and flour products, my last test was only 181, taking only 25% of my orginal dosage (10mg) of Lipitor. Over the next several months I will cut back to 2-3mg every 2-3 days and continue significantly avoiding flour and Sugar products.
