I read somewhere that beyond a certain age, everybody should be on statins.
That’s why so many people over a certain age walk with a cane, can’t kneel and have some stage of dementia. It’s been proven that the brain needs a certain amount of cholesterol to function properly, and statins cause leg pain. I’ve been on 3 different statins, had legs pains so intense each time that I had to use a cane to walk properly, couldn’t kneel. (I’m only 60.) Each time I came off the statin, within two weeks I had complete flexibility in my legs and could kneel again, and my brain fog cleared up.
Statins had me nearly paralyzed on my left side. I stopped taking them on my own and the problem went away. I eventually found a statin that has no side effacts for me. As for cholesterol I suppose you could say, well, everybody dies of something. But I don’t think I’d stop taking statins because of brain problems. A heart attack will get you a lot faster.
