I have just read Maxineps very long text about the benefits of statins. I totally disagree that the benefits far outweigh the risks. Besides - don´t be sure that it`s hig cholesterol that is causing heart problems and therefore should be lowered. There are other opinions by professional people all over the world, but they don´t have the financial resources that the pharmaceutical companies have and therefore it`s more difficult for them to reach out with their message. The best thing you can do is to educate yourself on this issue and here are som books/addresses that I recommend.. The Cholesterol Myths (Uffe Ravnskov) + www.ravnskov.nu + www.thincs.org The Great Cholesterol Con (Antony Colpo) Book with the same title (Malcolm Kendrick) Malignant Medical Myths (Joel M. Kauffman) Overdosed America (John Abramson) The side effects of statins are much more common than is suggested. They are often thought to be problems of aging both by the patient and by the doctor. So, please trust yourself. It`s your body and you know best how you are feeling.
