CPAP appears to cause some damage that mechanical ventilation does.

Statins reverse one of the subsequent inflammatory markers, CD59, but not the angiopoetin-2.

Statins are poison.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Obesity: Implications for Public Health

Public awareness of the importance of weight loss by lifestyle modification or bariatric surgery to improve the quality of life is needed. These preventive actions, screening measures, and treatment strategies for obesity and OSA can significantly reduce the incidence of obesity, as well as OSA and the related comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, and depression. Finally, health care costs will also be reduced.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Cardiovascular Disease: A Review of the Literature and Proposed Multidisciplinary Clinical Management Strategy

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with many different forms of CVD including hypertension, stroke, HF, coronary artery disease, and atrial fibrillation (AF).1 Adults with OSA not only have an increased risk of developing comorbid CVD but also have worse outcomes related to CVD. OSA is highly prevalent, estimated to affect 34% of men and 17% of women in the general population2 and 40% to 60% of patients with CVD.3 Furthermore, the prevalence is increasing, with these figures representing a 30% increase over the previous 2 decades,2 likely related to the obesity epidemic as well as an aging population."

Apnea and snoring went away for me when I quit sugar and carbs. Losing weight and particularly inflammation does wonders for snoring. Now I require a lot less sleep too.

Sleep quality is one of the big three life improvements I found from going low carb/high fat. The other two the end of acid reflux and blood pressure normalized.

Too bad more people can’t figure out the sugar and carbs are making them miserable and killing them. Of course drug companies couldn’t sell statins if people figured that out.

They are working overtime to justify using statins - which cause more problems than they supposedly “solve”.

My cholesterol levels are perfect, but since I’m over 55, they wanted to put me on statins, “just because” - I told them where to put the statins...

I use the CPAP. It changed my life for the better by enabling me to get more oxygen to my brains while sleeping. I wake up in the morning more refreshed.

Crestor is the brand name for rosuvastatin, and Lipitor is the brand name for atorvastatin. I’ve seen big reliable studies that show the rosuvastatins like crestor reduce all cause mortality risk better than do the atorvastatins like lipitor. I switched from Lipitor to Crestor.

I’m not sure how this study factors that in.
