There was a lot of interest last time this was aired but I was left
with a few unanswered questions...

How significant is the fat in processed Pork slices as I find it a
very convenient source of sandwich filling?

How linear is the response to dose levels? A recent test found 4.2
total (2.4 LDL) for a dose of 20mg. Pre-statins, I had levels of 6.8
and 7.2 total. I would like to drop the dose to 10mg.

I asked how long it takes for the body to return to normal after
stopping medication and was told 2 weeks. I was also told to resume
treatment to double check any noted changes.


Anyone taking statins should read "The Great Cholesterol Con" by
GP Dr Malcolm Kendrick.
I did - and promptly stopped taking them - some weeks ago.
Since then I have not felt better for a very long time (since before
I was advised to take them in fact).
