Another reason to stop taking statins, if you are not in the high-risk group.

Thank you.

Statins are BAD. (opinion here)High cholesterol levels are a SYMPTOM, not a cause of heart disease. I worked in a medical office for years, the GP was almost like another father to me. The people he had on Statins more often than not felt like crap all the time and over the years, died or had heart events just as often as the folks NOT on statins. The folks taking Policosonal and CoQ10 had lower "numbers" and didn't feel like crap.

I wish the word would get out to all the middle-aged and older people taking these nasty drugs, which endanger their livers and don’t do much for their hearts.

My dad died from complications of diabetes and heart disease 18 years ago. He loved sweet things and large helpings of fatty foods. That's when my breakfast became Black English tea with some lemon and a handful of grapes. And no sucrose. Maybe a pastry once in a while.

I saw the inside of my heart, arteries, veins with ultrasound. There was no placque at all. Everything was blushing pink a few years ago. And I love cheese like a rat and my cholesterol is very low. I went to the hospital for chest pain - I did something with my left arm that stretched the tendons above where my heart is. It really hurts the day after with muscular-skeletal stuff. I will probably bang up something again. I am only gentle with women. Everything else does what I want it to do:)
