Statins found to INCREASE the risk of dying

And, what niacin IS, is a natural substance that does not (last time I looked) need to be patented. So pharmaceuticle companies cannot make a lot of money on it.

If your federal government blatantly lies to the American public about something as important as going to WAR because of alleged possession of Weapons of Mass Destruction which resulted in over 1million deaths of innocent civilians, do you REALLY think that they wouldn't lie to you in order to please a filthy rich pharmaceutical company that makes political campaign contributions and bribes for MILLIONS OF DOLLARS !!! Are you on Lipitor or what!!!???

Crestor caused me to have the worst and most painfull big toe sweeling in my life! I went to the doctor and he said I had an acute gout attack! I've never even heard of that before, this happened with 2 weeks of taken the drug, tests showed my uric acid was way higher than normal and I had elevated liver enZymes just lovely!

Very interesting.

Thanks for sharing you story.

Duane Graveline, MD, a former NASA Flight Surgeon, says that he has the very serious neurological condition known as ALS, which he believes was triggered from taking a statin for only 5 months(?), if I remember correctly.

He said he also had Transient Global Amnesia, where he could not remember anything, while taking a statin also.

He and other doctors have many articles posted on SpaceDoc [DOT] net.

Those statins darn near stold my life and my memory however, that is not what I wanted to say..Before statins my colonscopy was always clean and clear, nothing ever found. I started statins and five years later on statins, I had FIVE precancerous ployps.. Quit statins and 3 years later another colonscopy only 1 very small polyp was found. I have been off of them about 5 years now and I am still paying for taking them although life is a LOT better for me now.

@Meowmie707 Thanks for sharing your story.

Thanks! I had no ideas about statins at the time. Now I think they are overprescribed poison. Nice video too, thanks!

My father was at some event and was sitting next to a doctor he knows.

The doctor is in his mid-70's.

Out of the blue, he said to my father, "Jim, let tell you an interesting story."

"A couple years ago, my leg muscles kept feeling weaker and weaker so that I had to start using a walker, and then a wheelchair."

"My doctor couldn't figure out what it was, but a friend of mine suggested that it might be the statin that I was taking."

(continued below...)

(story continued from above...)

"So I stopped taking the statin."

"Eventually, I was able to get out of the wheelchair, and stop using a walker.

He finished by saying,

"Jim, if I hadn't stopped taking the statin, I would've been dead within a few months."

@larryshobbs: Neat story, sound like a lucky break. My dad just fell apart in a short time on this crap, they tried to get me to take that poison, I just laughed at them.

I hope that in the future this stuff will be much more carefully prescribed, it is dangerous.

The medical establishment is not really good at change. Kinda like the ADA recommending type 2 diabetics eat 55% of their calories from CARBS, unwilling to consider low carb.

Unbeknownst to doctors, 8 of 9 people who came up with the National Cholesterol Education Program guidelines were been paid by the drug companies.

The guidelines recommend statins for many people.

The Los Angeles Times revealed that 530 scientists at the National Institutes of Health, some of whom have written papers saying how wonderful statins are, had also been paid by the drug companies.

So doctors think they are reading scientific literature, but instead, it is sales literature.

I truly believe that statins caused my father to have a stroke. At 75 his doctor said he had some plaque in his arteries (never effected him from what I saw) and prescribed a statin. After that it was all downhill, muscle wasting, weight loss, pain, eventually onto oxygen, amnesia, dementia and eventually a fatal bleeding stroke at 79.

Ticky,

I'm so sorry to hear that.
