Epoch Times has written articles for a few years now about the potential dangers of statins and I was fascinated. As a result, when I had two stents inserted three years ago and the doctor wanted to put me on statins, it was a hard no for me. He wasn’t happy. Then a neighbor who’d been put on statins recently and complained of severe leg pain she felt coincided with starting the drug, I suggested she stop, showing her the articles. Her pain subsided within two days. I also told a doctor friend who’d been on statins for over 20 years that I refused the drug. He chided me because he had no side effects, but several months later his wife told me he’d stopped the statins. I smiled and welcomed him into the light.
Slowly people are hearing and learning. Thank you so much for this comprehensive article.
Fear of dying drives the issue! If you want to speed up the process, all you have to do is take a statin drug chronically along with acetaminophen brand-name Tylenol, and drink alcohol every day. A deadly combination.!
In the last 25 years 200,000 Americans had liver transplants and it is reported that 50% is caused by the acetaminophen, but I don’t believe it works alone! Statin drugs, deplete a key enzyme that is essential for liver health called CoQ10! The drug manufacturers don’t tell the physicians and the pharmacist to tell the patients they must supplement to keep their liver healthy! Merck knew this in 1989 and kept their mouth shut!
I’ve always been of the mind that the cholesterol isn’t the problem. The reason for the cholesterol is the problem. Why is your cholesterol high? The cholesterol is there for a reason, right?
Interestingly, I began IV phosphatidylcholine in hopes of reducing my pain from small fiber neuropathy. What happened next? Well, I was able to reduce my morphine from 160 mg to 30 mg. But more importantly to this post, My cholesterol went from 275 to 200. So obviously there are many ways to improve your cholesterol levels if they worry you. But cholesterol isn’t the problem. The reason for the cholesterol is the problem. Cholesterol is the Band-Aid.
Research that is underreported and buried in medical journals about statins is how they have been proven to demyelinate the myelin sheath of nerves and nerve fibers throughout the body which is essential in optimal function of nerve conduction firing which in turn may be linked to Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's disease!! Big Pharma drugs cause the side effect for multiple medical conditions that create more drugs to treat the side effects of the drugs that are used by patient's! The body needs Cholesterol!! Cholesterol is needed in the body to naturally make and synthesize hormones and hormonal system to work optimally! Cholesterol also is converted to Vitamin D when exposed to the sun through the skin! If anybody was paying attention during COVID the Government (FDA, CDC, NIH) were doing everything in their power to make people sicker, especially with draconian lockdowns in the house. Hence another reason why Bill Gates is pushing for unhealthy lab grown meat that has no cholesterol (i.e. animal fat), he knows how essential dietary levels of cholesterol is needed in the human body!!
Having had Hepatitis C for over 30 years until 2015, I didn't need to be told not to take statins. when they first advertised them on TV, they said "liver damage" as a side effect. Then When I was sitting in a doctor's waiting room at BSW or Baylor Scott White, there was a TV obviously playing a prerecorded BSW program with a man dressed as a doctor saying it is a good idea for ALL adults over 40 to take statins to prevent heart disease. Now I was really suspicious, and have lied to every doctor I have been to that wanted to give me statins, just because I was diabetic to reduce the "risk" of heart disease. These people were lying assholes trying to make money. I refused to take them, I told them I was allergic to t5hem, they made my liver hurt, I had muscle pain, then finally, I got pissed off, came close to blows with a doctor trying get me to take them, I grabbed his stethoscope and yanked it off his neck and told him he was fixing to eat it if I heard one more word about statins. Then I told him he was fired and walked out of the room and office, didn't pay a dime for that visit and got another doctor - this was in 2015. Same doctor who told me diabetes 2 was for life, which I beat, no longer diabetic after losing 70 lbs. I don't know how ethical it is to physically threaten or assault a doctor who pisses you off, but I was sick of hearing that I need to be taking a poison that is bad for me for a bullshit reason - which is lowering cholesterol. I like foods with cholesterol, screw them. Big pharma was telling doctors to prescribe statins to all adults over 40. Both my parents were taking them when they died. I asked both of them why the take it, and they said "because the doctor said it I should", and that's the bad attitude most people in the world have. I thought you were a Catholic, when did your doctor become your God too? Do not trust any doctor blindly, they only care about filling their wallets with your money, that's why they became doctors, to get rich. They are people like you and me, they are greedy, greedier than most people, why else would they go through all that school and hardship to get there, to get rich. They don't give a shit about your health, actually they want you to stay sick, but alive, to keep padding their pockets. They get a check from big pharma for every statin script they write and gets filled, and more checks for refills on big pharma's prescriber bonus program. If you are taking a statin because your doctor said it was best for you, stop taking it, or get Alzheimer's like my father did, or my mother, who had a sudden heart attack the same week as her 4th Covid shot. Nobody needs statins for any reason. Do not take them, they will poison and eventually kill you. All of them, Lipitor. Crestor, and all the rest. It doesn't matter if you sweat cholesterol it's because it's so high, don't take any sort of statin. And do not concern yourself with your cholesterol levels, if your doctor complains tell him he's a bought off idiot, like most practicing doctors.
I don't doubt statins cause all these harms. I'm 75, wife 70, and we've always known to never take them. That said, I'm still waiting on an explanation of how, with all these harms, they extend life a few days on average. Seems like they'd shorten life considerably. Am I the only one who has always thought this sounds backwards?
Two things to consider. The claim that statins extend life by maybe a few days comes from the studies commissioned by the drug companies. That is a best case scenario. Also consider that that short potential life extension only factors in death by heart problems. These studies NEVER consider all cause mortality. If people die early from liver failure, or diabetes, or Alzheimer’s, those early deaths are ignored. Also the studies are all rigged in favor of the drug company funding them.
Another keys point is they are just discussing life span, not health span. Even IF you live a few days longer, but are chronically ill and cannot enjoy life for 20 years, is that a trade off you are willing to take? Not this cowboy.

Fluoride in medications inhibits drug-degrading enzymes in the liver, improving short-term effectiveness, but can accumulate in the pineal gland and adversely affect the nervous system.
There are various types of statins, but the following contain fluorine atoms in their molecules:
“Our study suggests that statin therapy…does not decrease the proportion of small, dense LDL among total LDL particles, but in fact increases it… and reduces absolute amounts of large, buoyant LDL.” (the good stuff)
My doc always has pushed the statin, even after I quit sugar 100% in 2022 and told him so. I got healthy pretty quick, except that pesky cholesterol number. I don't take the statin (generic lipitor) but he'll ask every time. I walk a lot, work out lightly with resistance bands, and sun worship here in Hawaii. Never felt more healthy as an adult and I'm 59.
You know who suggested I quit sugar? Not my doctor. Self-prescribed. ME.
Our entire medical system needs full-on reform. Thank God for RFK Jr.
There must be a tremendous amount of profit in statins!
I was prescribed them many years ago when I still trusted the medical profession. I was told that I needed them because of my LDL cholesterol levels. As I started “doing my own research”, the 4 words that strike fear into the heart of the medical industrial complex, I came across many very well known and distinguished doctors who destroyed the myth about them. Dr. Aseem Malhotra, prominent British Cardiologist, has been speaking out against them for over 10 years!
I stopped taking them and had earlier stopped triglycerides but the reason I said that there must be huge profits is that while a few doctors suggested I go back on triglycerides, the onslaught has been ongoing for years now to get me back on the statins. My insurance company, as well as nearly every doctor I’ve seen since has tried to convince me to take them.
Dr. Robert Atkins MD recommended supplementing with COQ-10. Even before him his mentor, Dr. Carleton Fredericks PhD, spoke highly of it. This was when its importance was first being realized, in the 1960s - 80's. In those days all you could buy was a yellow 30mg two-piece capsule made in Japan.
Major revelation occurred to me a while back and was made certain in my mind during the CV scamdemic. They really are trying to kill us. Once you accept that fact, EVERYTHING makes complete sense.

You’ll find doctors claiming that CoQ10 is unnecessary.
