[null and void]

Statins almost killed me. I refused to take them anymore. A couple of weeks ago, I had a stent implanted in my heart and the entire OR crew told me “good for you!” when they saw on my record that I refused statins. The surgeon told me that a lot of people couldn’t take them.

I can't tolerate them.

I use 2000 mg of niacin.

I live way out in the boonies. When my heart seized up, I kept myself going by taking niacin and quinine water. Worked for me almost as quickly as nitroglycerin.
