[Guest guest]

HI there

Thanks everyone for your helpful input.I'm very concerned about this issue

mostly

cause I'm trying to help a friend. She's finally stopped Lipitor but she often

drops by to get confrimation about this cholestrol. Well me with brain fog I

can't seem to process too much of infromation at a time but I try my best to

help her.

SHe's started butter and felt good taking it.

I'm so glad for this support group and everyone who is part of it
