Here are some references, so you won't look like a total idiot
next time:

Lipitor:

Atorvastatin is indicated as an adjunct to diet to reduce elevated total-C,
LDL-C, apo B, and TG levels in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia
(heterozygous familial and nonfamilial) and mixed dyslipidemia (Fredrickson
Types IIa and IIb).

Atorvastatin is indcated as adjunctive therapy to diet for the treatment of
patients with elevated serum triglyceride levels (Fredrickson Type IV).

Atorvastatin is indicated for the treatment of patients with primary
dysbetalipoproteinemia (Fredrickson Type III) who do not respond adequately
to diet.

Atorvastatin is also indicated to reduce total-C and LDL-C in patients with
homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia as an adjunct to other
lipid-lowering treatments (e.g., LDL apheresis) or if such treatments are
unavailable.

Therapy with lipid-altering agents should be a component of
multiple-risk-factor intervention in individuals at increased risk for
atherosclerotic vascular disease due to hypercholesterolemia. Lipid-altering
agents should be used in addition to a diet restricted in saturated fat and
cholesterol only when the response to diet and other nonpharmacological
measures has been inadequate (see National Cholesterol Education Program
(NCEP) Guidelines, summarized in TABLE 5).

Note that certain foods and obesity *can* decrease the lower esophageal
sphincter (LES) pressure, but there is no guarantee.

What kind of drugs are you on, anyhow?

BG Lipitor and prilosec .... you? (EG save the stupid lecture, not
interested)


Aren't those for heartburn? If so get rid of 'em and start eating
right and you won't have heartburn.

Typical American attitude - don't bother changing bad habits,
simply counteract them with drugs.
