Lipitor: What Pfizer doesn't want you to know!

2 out of every 3 people taking Lipitor for heart disease will go on to have a heart attack. Why? If you take Lipitor, you need to follow a diet low in saturated fat to get most of the beneficial effects of Lipitor on LDL cholesterol.

Lipitor can cause rhabdomyolysis, a life threatening side effect. In rhabdomyolysis, Lipitor causes your muscle to break down and block the tubules in your kidneys, causing renal failure.

If you are taking Lipitor and experiencing muscle pain, call your doctor immediately. She may want to lower your Lipitor dosage or take you off Lipitor completely.

Doctors have also been concerned that Lipitor could cause liver failure. If you have liver disease or drink heavily, you need to discuss this with your doctor before taking Lipitor.

Other side effects of Lipitor include constipation, flatulence, dyspepsia, and abdominal pain.

Different statins cause different side effects. If you are having trouble with Lipitor, you may want to discuss switching to another statin, such as Crestor, Zocor, or Vytorin.

The Golden Gate Diet is the natural way to lower LDL cholesterol.

The book is based on my experiences with my patients and the latest research from the leading centers. You will lower your cholesterol easily, eat delicious food, and cut your risk of heart disease.

I've posted the entire book on the website. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me.

I am a Fellow in the Department of Cardiac Surgery. Many of my patients had been trying to lower their LDL cholesterol for years. I felt frustrated watching them follow unhealthy diets. Not only didn't they lower high cholesterol, they were developing heart disease and diabetes. That's why I developed The Golden Gate Diet.

The best things about The Golden Gate Diet are that it works so well and that it's so easy to follow. There is so much delicious food you can have on the diet, all of which are scientifically proven to lower LDL cholesterol and increase your health.
