Hi Dr. Smith.

She is not the kind of person to do this. I know her very well. She just wrote to me that her doctor would put her on every drug known to man. Her blood pressure is 120/80. Her doctor wants to put her on blood pressure meds. She refuses. Her doctor insists that she cannot get off lipitor. She hasn't told me what her cholesterol is. Of course if it's high, then she needs to do something but I know her. Niacin is out of the question.

She doesn't want to be on ANYTHING.

And at 73, well, sometimes we need to take things, right?

She can walk 50 blocks every day. She walks everywhere. She's the fittest 73 year old I 've ever seen.

But she likes to EAT her food. I don't think she's going to give up cold cuts and whatever the else she puts in her body.

So she asked me what she could take instead of lipitor. She goes on the internet. She reads up on stuff. She doesn't want to TAKE ANYTHING.

lol

The mind works in mysterious ways. I think at her age she should be able to do what she wishes.
