Thank you. Statins are poison. They create more age related disease than anything, other than possibly BP medicines. I have steadfastly refused to take Statins against doctors wishes for 20 years and will continue to refuse them. It has been my experience that most things respond just as well or better to “natural” or alternative methods as they do to drugs. Researchers have found that Cholesterol does not cause heart attacks & strokes. The stats are just not there for the premise. If I had begun taking the Statins 20 years ago I would probably be dead by now from kidney or liver disease. Instead I am a healthy 79 with high Cholesterol which gives me no problems. Sure, I might have a stroke or heart problem, but aren’t all persons my age at risk for those?

Good for you. Statins are poison and they destroy your liver. If you watch your sugar intake, you will cut down on a lot of the ills of our age. The American Diet consists of no nutrition at all except for sugar. Insulin resistance causes everything from aging, cancer, heart problems, dementia, Alzheimer’s, High blood pressure. Oh throw in a little coconut oil or any saturated fat which is really only coconut oil.
You have broken the odds against your getting sick good luck.

No liver or kidney disease to report in either my mother (96) or myself, both on statins for around 20 years. Liver enzymes monitored all along.

In fact,

Renoprotective effects

Besides their cardiovascular effects, statins may slow the progression of kidney disease.

Look up "GREACE" study.

Good luck to you. I hope those aren't "famous last words" in your comment toward the end.
