Zocor and leg pain

Statins are dangerous drugs and cause many side effects.. Unfortunately, drs. and the drug co's are doing a SCAM on the anti-cholesterol drugs . . . it is all about big $$. When you stop the statins, the cholesterol level will increase. . . In reality, your mind/body needs cholesterol to function properly. . . DON'T LET YOUR DR. TO CON YOU.

please, if you didn't have your cholesterol checked, you wouldn't even know what the numbers were, if you had high or low cholesterol. you do know that the "pains in the legs are debilitating." will you be a cripple with low cholesterol? will you develop ALS and die a slow, miserable death but have great numbers? what is the point of all this cholesterol madness? the point is money- lots of it. because they have developed drugs that can make those numbers lower, they've seized on cholesterol as the "villain" in heart disease. IT IS NOT!, just like serotonin is not the simple answer to depression but it is the thing they can treat with drugs. it's interesting that you are looking for a painkiller to counteract the pain caused by the drug. you mentioned nicotinic acid, which is niacin. that should work. it has to be the flushing kind. and cut animal products out of you diet. and exercise. if you keep taking zocor, you won't be able to exercise. how's that for an irony? and stop obsessing about your cholesterol! it's just a number. as 777 keeps telling everyone, cholesterol is an essential component of your body. your brain lives on cholesterol. vitamin D and many hormones are made from cholesterol. you NEED cholesterol. what you don't need is inflamed cholesterol. that's what clogs the pipes. keep down your inflammation with a diet rich in omega-3 oils and you shouldn't have to worry about your cholesterol again. and whatever you do, don't let them them test it. if you feel fine, you probably are fine. why go looking for trouble? remember tim russert? surely he was on medication that made his BP numbers and his cholesterol numbers perfect but he still dropped dead

Yes, there is something to help relieve the leg pain. Its called ldl cholesterol. Now you know first hand what can happen when we inhibit LDL, CoQ10, and other products of the mevalonate metabolic pathway. Decades ago, a man named Ancel Keys compared death rates from heart disease to cholesterol levels in seven countries. He made a chart and connected the dots showing an "unmistakable" relationship between high cholesterol and heart attacks. Of course the world has almost 200 countries. Keys just looked at seven, and from that 7 country comparison, we the World bought his theory hook line and sinker. Had keys included data from other countries, his theory would have been disproved. The association simply was not there when all the countries were included. So he kicked them off the graph to save face. Today the CDC reports that half of heart attacks happen to people with low to normal cholesterol. And almost half of first time heart attacks happen to people with normal "Bad" cholesterol.
