I had been taking Lipitor and Niaspan for a couple of years (and made good progress on labs) and last summer I doubled my Lipitor and developed significant muscle problems. Discontinued all of the RX above, found and read the book (Pract. Med without a license) and began the Pauling Therapy. Was doing this very regulary for about 3 months. For about the last 2 months was taking the HeartTechnology at the rate of 1 1/2 jars / mo.
Just got new lab work done and my numbers all went the wrong direction - Triglycerides up, LDL up, HDL, down. (I also gained some weight during this time which may effect numbers as well.)
So wanted to get feedback on this and my expectations... (my doc will want to try new statins when I review the labs with her)
1. Does Vit C / Pauling Therapy need more time? Dosage?
2. Can I expect this to adequately replace my previous drug therapy?
Thanks for the thoughts and feedback.
