I think statins are a construct of the drug companies based on manipulating data to make them look lifesaving.
If someone’s that 1:100 person whose life it saves, great. Meanwhile, the side effects seem genuinely horrific. If it melts my muscles or causes cancer and I stop it, it’s gonna be too late.
statins + diabetes. check it out.
One point about statins that people need to know about:
Statin can lower natural CoQ10 levels in the body. This can be a problem because CoQ10 is essential for energy production and muscle function (this may be why muscular side effects are common). If you must take a statin, please also supplement with CoQ10.
