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......

Amazon.com: The Great Cholesterol Con (9781430309338): Anthony Colpo: Books


Carol, here are some links to read on....Note the links at the end of the first site, they're good articles too.....

Researchers Detail Statin Drug Dangers

Dangers of Statin Drugs: What You Haven’t Been Told About Popular Cholesterol-Lowering Medicines

No doctor knows everything, so it is ultimately up to each individual to take charge of their own health.......


I printed this whole thing because I totally agree with it, hence, my
determination to stay off these. Well, I totally refused to not use
Crestor I told the doc so she precripted the lowest for lipitol.
Not sure If I will take but have prescription. The only thing that
does scare me is I have HBP also. That is heriditary. My whole family
has this and my HDL is very high, the LDL is excellant.
Thank you for this infomation. It's so confusing to know who and what
to believe.
