I think this bloke is absolutley genuine and statins are poison.

I USED to trust doctors, now I think they are more interested in taking financial backhanders from drug companies, or orders from central government, than put our health first.

People used to live to 90 or more without taking statins.

Think : does the governmet REALLY want us to live longer, when the welfare system cannot cope as it is?

Do they REALLY want it?

Follow on from below: The moral of this tale is that many doctors look for other causes instead of admiting the bleeding obvious about the drug and side effects they create. Shop around, find a doctor who is not beholden to drug companies. They do exist.

Despite my own protests to my doctor that the statin drug I was one was giving me exactly the same freaked out episodes as this poor man ( we are about the same age) he refused to believe it was caused by the drug. I proved him wrong by not taking it and not having these types of episodes. I moved on to another doctor who openly condemned statins.

What good is LOW cholesterol to ANYONE in this kind of shape? I got off my statin drug, decided it was better to be normal and productive than in the shape I was in. I was not nearly as bad as this lovely man but I was on my way there.

Oh that poor man, this breaks my heart because my parents are both on these vile medications. I have seen my father go through exactly this, I cannot convince either of them to quit.

At 75 my father was pretty healthy. He was strong and had no arthritis, was mentally sharp and independent. At a checkup Dr said he had plaque in one of his arteries (from what I saw it never really bothered him). From the time he started taking statins until his death his body and mind fell apart, he died of a hemorrhaging stroke at 79. Before he died he was on oxygen, had amnesia, muscle wasting to name a few. I really wish I would have known statin side effects when he started that poison.
