Lipitor
Dr Byrnes, Thank-you for your reply. I read in the Atkins book about the effect statins have on the liver and coQ10. However, I was not aware of cancer in lab rats. That's a disturbing thought! I have had skin problems (dry,cracking,& bleeding) on my hands since I started the drug. I have always suspected the Lipitor as a cause of this nagging problem. I want to try some alternative therapy. Both my parents died young of heart attacks, and I had total Chol.of 264 before starting drugs to reduce it. Naturally,you can see I have to take this matter seriously. Would you suggest niacin or Dr Atkins vita- nutrient solutions? Thanks for your feedback. WB
