I want to get off statin drugs. I\'m 63 and took Lipitor for years, was switched to Zocor, and experienced multiple complications though cholestrol is lowered. What product should I take and will the Pauling therapy work if I just purchased my own Vit. C and Lysine?
Yes - go to the store, look for a brand with the fewest fillers, e.g. Nature's Made, and buy 500 mg vitamin C and 500 mg lysine tablets. We put our (Pauling's) standard protocol here:

If you tire of pills, and after you know your bowel tolerance, we can recommend a powdered drink mix that is more convenient.

p.s. In my opinion, low cholesterol is a bad side effect of statins. Long story, but we discuss it often, cholesterol becomes elevated in heart disease because it is an important mechanism helping the body fight heart disease. When the heart disease is eliminated, cholesterol naturally falls to around 180 mg/dl (total cholesterol).
