Being a Medicare patient, may be a problem. Medicare limits testing, and testing is the heart of integrative medicine.

Your next step may be to find an internist who is not 100% cholesterol brainwashed. That might be tough. Get that book I suggested and arm yourself with it, take it with you and see if the new doctor will allow what Dr. Cohen suggests...starting at very low doses. It may be that Medicare will only allow one test a year...for cholesterol. So that alone will be a problem, in order to see progress with a new dosing regimen.

You should also know that Lipitor increases risk of hemorrhagic strokes.
