Hi Picard,

I controlled my moderate to high cholesterol level by diet for a long time as I was low risk (non-smoker, middle age, moderate BMI, normal BP) but after a brief scare where I thought I had a heart attack (turned out to be pinched nerves in my spine), the ECG (?) showed a past "blip" so I went on Lipitor (20mg/day). I have had my cholesterol levels checked a couple of times in the past 2 years since then and my levels are now even better than before.

No side-effects that I have noticed, except for a strange obsession with Personal Survival Kit containers?

Good Luck,

Mike
