Owen....Some basic background on me,,,No heart attack, and no Angina, stents 7 yrs ago in the LAD, was asymptomatic.; diagnosed via a CT Angiogram.,Thalium Stress was normal...,,Then Plavix for 3-4 subsequent yrs...
Still on 20mg Lipitor, Baby Aspirin, 160mg Diovan..I'm 6' 180lbs, in ok shape..
Cholest Profile as pf 3-1-2013..Total Chol: 165; Tri: 91; VLDL 18; LDL; 81; HDL 66 LP(a) 79
I am trying to get off the Lipitor...
I am concerned the "Little(a)" is way too high, so I started on "Cardio-Tech" from Tower Labs
A few weeks into it, I had a Colitis attack with some bleeding...I had not experienced this since I was put on Plavix 7 yrs ago..No problems in between..So I feel it was more than just a coincidence, so I stopped the oral Cardio-Tech Powder...
April 15th...Began taking 4gms Liposomal C from Mercola...1gm, 4 time daily...along with seperate doses of Lysine & Proline...1500mg each...and reduced the Lipitor to 10mg daily, down from 20mg 5 days a week(didnt take it on the weekends)
Do you think I can accomplish a reversal/halt to CAD with this regimen of Lipo C vrs Oral C? Your thoughts? Thanks!

1st time I"m pc incompetent haha I live in Thailand not much help here. MY Q LIP C: I take 9 gms of C oraly how much LIP C would I have to take and do u have to space it out into 3 or4 times a day like I do now. Also does LIP C need to be kept cool? I read 30 doses per bottle, so would 1 a day be enough?

1st time ever on a forum just clicking on everything. I currently take 9gms of AA 3gms 3 times per day. How many doses of LIP C would I have to take. Advert of the Vit C foundation says 30 doses/ bottle. Also does LIP C need to kept cool? I live in Thailand so it's always hot and sometimes it's really hot.

Sorry for the delay noticing this post.
Some red flags. Mercola's "liposomes" are not. The product does contain vitamin C, but there is no water, and thus there can be no true liposomes.
20 mg Lipitor - and your total cholesterol is 165? Malpractice. And per other topic, why not try substituting niacin?
If you are reacting poorly to ascorbic acid per colitis (which is the primary vitamin C we have monitored over the years that has been successful) you might add some baking soda.
