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 told me 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?
My mom loved sweet stuff and my sister would criticize her which I found a little ridiculous so I would joke with my mom and tell her she better stop with the sweets or your gonna cut your life short - she was 92 when she passed away.
I know I don't know my final hour but God please take me before I get to 90. I am already having a hard time in my 60s. Yesterday had to fix a water pipe that separated. Stupid thing only had a 1/4 inch glue in the other pipe's coupling. Anyway, this pipe was deep in our woods. Took as long to get to and from the pipe than to fix it. My arms are all cut up from the thicket, should of wore long sleeves. I am too old for this
, but glad we have our water back. We waited till the afternoon the day before for a pipe to unfreeze (so we thought) until I finally checked the meter. Sure enough it was spinning like crazy so the hunt was on for a leak, not easy walking down our 10 acres in heavy forest but, thank God that He added sound to running water. That is how I found it. Not sure why He forgot to add smell to gas though , one of my questions for Him when I get to Heaven, haha.
My house, new construction when I bought it, has a 100 amp buried line to a shop (in PVC conduit). The top of the conduit is about 6" deep, a code violation I believe, and I found by accident a ~1" open gap between pipe sections. The conduit is also full of tiller gouges from when the grass was put in.
That is a tough one since the pipe is filled with cable. Maybe some kind of wrap repair? With water pipe, there are many options to repair.
