Generic Lipitor (Atorvastatin, Lipitor® equivalent)
Lipitor is a prescription medication used along with an overall diet plan in order to lower the patient's level of cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart attack. It has been proven to help reduce patients' LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels significantly, as well as help in maintaining the low levels in the long term. Lipitor belongs to a class of medications known as statins, which work by blocking an enzyme in the liver that is used in the production of LDL ("bad") cholesterol. The body then produces less LDL, and the level of LDL cholesterol in the blood decreases.

FIGHTING THE FREE-RADICAL FOE POWER UP WITH VITAMINS: POTASSIUM, THE POWERFUL
Numerous studies have attempted to establish a link between strokes (the third leading cause of death in the United States), food and nutrients. The most recent review of the relevant literature infers that while it is difficult to come to firm conclusions, it is safe to say there is an inverse relationship between the ingestion of fruits and vegetables and stroke mortality rates (the more of the first, the less of the second) - and higher levels of dietary and urinary potassium have been linked to a significant (40%) - reduction in stroke-associated death.
The finding was consistent with a similar analysis from the 1988 Honolulu Heart Study in which rats fed a high-potassium (2.11%) diet demonstrated a 98% reduction in mortality rates at 8 months compared with rats fed a normal potassium (0.75%) diet. The beneficial effect of potassium on mortality rates appeared to be independent of blood pressure and was accompanied by a 95% reduction in brain infarcts in rats who survived for 1 year.
Nearly everyone 'knows' that high sodium intake (salt) is a major risk factor for high blood pressure. But very few persons are knowledgeable enough to pay serious attention to sodium's working partner, potassium. Because sodium (Na) and potassium (K) must be in balance to maintain osmotic pressure between the intra-cellular fluids (inside the cells) and the extra-cellular fluids (outside the cells), a potassium deficiency from any cause can lead to water-logged tissues, muscle and tissue damage and subsequent scarring.
Nonetheless, many academic nutritional texts dismiss potassium deficiency as rare, pointing out it is easily available in so many foods. They forget that a junk-food diet of high fat, refined sugars and oversalted foods is all that's needed to play havoc with the body's tenuous reservoir of potassium. In addition, potassium can be depleted by excessive sweating, protracted diarrhea, the use of diuretics, overzealous dieting or fasting, extreme stress or any number of abnormal conditions. Aspirin and other drugs, coffee and alcohol, are all known to leech potassium from the cells.
To quote Dr. Birger Jansson, a University of Texas oncology specialist, "Since Paleolithic times, the potassium/sodium ratio in the diet has been reduced by a factor of almost twenty." Dr. Jansson proceeds to note that even in today's primitive cultures, the K/Na ratios are 100 to 200 times as great as ours. The author believes there would be a significant reduction in cardiovascvular disease and cancer incidence if potassium/ sodium ratios could be brought back into balance.
