THANK YOU, will read...I just stopped two decades of statin usage from my heart Doctor visit at the end of last year. My plan is to test in 6 months to see where I stand, but probably will rid myself of them. I have noticed no more muscle craps since I got off them. I read an article that had a list of side effects found caused by statins. Dementia being at the top had me think hard about if I were to put my wife through this terrible disease. I would rather die of a heart attack instead of putting the family through that. My mother ended up in a Memory Care for her last 3 years. Then add kidney problems, type 2 diabetes, also on that list.This article may be a little longer than my attention span but I've spent hundreds of hours reading about statins, cholesterol, heart disease, so I want no part of statins (I was on them at one time). I thought it was very inventive for someone to test effectiveness of statins vs Oreos.
"But alas—firmly revealing the absurdity of the scheme to keep Americans unhealthy on statins—a recent study published on January 22, 2024, has demonstrated that Nabisco’s toxic Oreo Cookies are two times more effective at lowering LDL cholesterol (the one they say is “bad”) than high-intensity statin drugs. Holy smokes… what?"

I did the same last summer after I discovered there was no positive benefit for me, only negative from taking them. My records also show I am now pre-diabetic, which I believe is related to taking statins. No more for this guy, no matter what they say. I'll keep that tip in mind when I next visit a Dr office. <Thumbs up>
Haha, same here. My doc me told my cholesterol was high. I thought he was gonna have a stroke when I told him I was not concerned!
Yeah, thinking of doing the same with statin. When I was borderline diabetic, the Doc keep prescribing Metformin, I never filled the prescriptions since I can control it with proper diet. So even though i got my A1C down, they still push the drug...sad...
Agreed, I watched my grandparents in the late 80s having to stop eating the foods they have loved and ate all their life because of high sodium. Both made it to their 90s. WTF. Why do that to people in their last years. Especially at that age, don't you think it is too late for change. Kinda like telling a 80 year old they need to start working out by some young doctor, lol Why do we listen to these Practicing Medicine Drug Pushers, ON US, guys?
