Statins do not reduce any risk; they cause hemorrhages.

“There are many many youtubes if him explaining why statin is poison”

It is hard for me to reconcile that claim with my mother’s experience with statins: She is 99, relatively healthy, and has been taking statins for something like 27 years. Same here, for that matter.

Have you ever tried just eating hot peppers?

The juice of a hot pepper under the tongue will instantly stop a heart attack.

The loss of Co-Q10 from statin use will cause heart failure.

After being a statistician in testing for the last job of my career, I now look at studies in a whole different way. I now wonder about blood type chemistry as related to side effects regarding statins. Some people I’ve personally known take enormous doses of statins with no problems or side effects and others like myself have problems with a very small dosage. Clearly there is a problem for many of us, a blanket statement that anyone over 40 should be on statins certainly isn’t science.

Little to nothing about prescription drugs is related to “science.”

Its all about money.

We have natural substances that work better than any drug, and totally without undesirable side effects.

Natural substances don’t enrich Ducturs.

“Clearly there is a problem for many of us, a blanket statement that anyone over 40 should be on statins certainly isn’t science.”

Well, the article does not say that. It says statin therapy should be considered, based on a multi-factoral approach.

But we clearly over treated many folks back when we were treating total cholesterol. I spent years taking folks off statins. We are probably doing it again now we know LDL isn’t actually the risk factor but particles are.

Put yourself on Juniper berry tea, and your kidneys will clear out fairly rapidly.

Of course it doesn’t, but look where we’re at years later. Doctors have been “considering” this on us for decades despite known severe and debilitating side effects. I had a VA cardio doctor all but wipe his behind with my CT heartsaver scan (calcification test) and need I even have to say what I think of his superior critical thinking skills.

I’m with ya on those real foods thing you mentioned, I love them all, and indulge. My BP just measured is 124 over 75 with a heart rate of 64. Best of both worlds, and I’m full of beer. Mother was nuts for that Weight Watchers crap, and I’d bet that stuff played a role in her early exit @ 66 YO. She also smoked...

Oh, forgot, also take Atorvastatin and 6 more scripts. We’ll see...
