My Mom and dad are taking statins prescribed by their doctor.

This was done WITHOUT trying improved diet first.

Someone making money?

Statins do lower cholestrol, but they raise a lot of people's liver enzymes. Not enought to cause damage but that's what happens in most cases. I understand that some people are gentically predisposed to getting high cholestrol what happened to exercise and eating healthy. people now days just want to pop a pill and not have to work for the resluts. I lowered my cholestrol 45 points from exercising and eating right daily. It took me 8 mths but i got it down w/out any drugs.

Dr. Bellonzi, not trying to be a wise guy or anything, but I've been on a statin since I was diagnosed with MS 6 years ago. My cholesterol was always in the 'gooid' range prior to that 1st exacerbation and then shot up to 225 in a few months with no change in diet. Any words or comments you could add on this is very much appreciated.

Lost interest in all things that I once enjoyed like hobbies, sex and getting out in the fresh air. It' almost like being in a partial coma and if this is supposed to lead me to better health, I'd rather have high cholesterol.

Thanks doc, I have taken this to heart. Since being on statins, my joints ache all the time, I'm totally lacking energy and napping all the time. I have completely

I was turned down for health insurance because my cholesterol number was 230!

Never had a heart problem in my life, but my primary doctor demanded that I knock that number down regardless.

Yep, my dad died of a massive bleeding stroke 3 years after he started taking statins. And yes, his body also fell apart rapidly before he died, I am pretty sure it was the statins.

@dilemmix Yeah, and a lot of the quacks have an MD after their name. A person who has been awarded a Doctorate degree can put that title (doctor) into their name....as in Doctor of Engineering, Doctor of Psychology...etc, etc.

My cholesterol was 252. My doctor prescribed a drug to lower it. I told her I wasn't going to take the drug and that I would do it with diet.. I basically went vegetarian though I still eat meat on occasion and in 3 months it was down to 179.

Cholesterol is the biggest health myth out there. In fact, it's been shown that people with more cholesterol live longer. It all matters with inflammation. Once you get inflammation down, you have nothing to worry about.
