Thanks, Mrs D, I'm going to work my way through these sites. I do know that the cholesterol idea is an oversold idea, and that the goals of cholesterols as low as they are being sent with lipitor make no sense, but of course, I need to learn a bunch more before I decide what, if anything, to do. Sadly, I do this learning over and over, as I do with many topics, forgetting what I've learned when resolved the issue---that time around.

I don't know what the PD forum is, however; can you lead me there?
