However, after a few years now of a semi-vegetarian diet (about 50% less meat), plus less dairy (milk and cheese substitutes), I'm now cutting back on the lipitor dosage (with the doctor's knowledge), and my cholesterol is staying at the 185 level. I've seen several studies that it's not just the fat content of the food, but often the kinds of foods as well. the meat substitutes are quite impressive (and I cook kind of for a living) and tasty and widely varied, but the effects of cutting dairy out (and moving to soy and rice substitutes) really surprised me. And my sinuses are a lot clearer too. good luck. My wife actually went veg 20 years ago to avoid the chol. Rx's, and her numbers run like 165 now. So, you may have a choice if you want it.

Very smart of you to have proper backup of important files at least. Sorry about the cholesterol meds and the rent. Nothing redeeming there, I know. Hope your days improve!
