My father was on statins ( among many other medications) and passed away about a year ago. I wish I had known then what I know now about the serious complications concerning these drugs....I believe they contributed greatly to his declining health.....He really should not have died with the problems he had and as soon as he did.....
I just would like everyone to do their homework on cholesterol, statins and the heart, especially look into the importance of supplementing with COQ10 if your still going to use statins.....COQ10 is depleted with the use of statins and the heart is greatly effected, which will actually increase the likelihood of a heart attack....Please do some reading on this.....
I hear this book is excellent......
