Dude, you are free not to take those meds. More importantly, are you

Surely you would want to leave it to the doctor and patient.

I am not advising everyone NOT to take statins. I was merely
offering information - information that users of statin may not have.
I am sure you would agree that if patients are given all the
information , including those that are damning to the statin drugs it
would have allowed them to make an informed decision.

As modern medicine had became the number one killer (Death by
Medicine, Gary Null et al - http://www.whale.to/a/null9.html) I
believe it is unconscienable that the public are not warned against
the insidious nature of something that we so easily accepted as true
and are unquestionable.


So admin, as you appear to recommend not taking statins what do you
recommend for those suffering from high cholesterol and heart
problems? Death?

You do know that the cholesterol in your blood stream is manufactured by
your liver, and not absorbed from what you eat, don't you?

Not quite; it's both, though on average the liver provides about three times
what comes from what is eaten.

Hereditary variations in what *kind* of cholesterol the liver produces are
significant; some livers produce excesses of LDL (bad) cholesterol.

While folks who exercise regularly, avoid tobacco smoking and consume only
moderate amounts of dietary cholesterol (and shun trans fats!) may well have
no problem from LDL excess, fact is that for *some,* even these measures may
not suffice, while the action of statins upon the liver may well do the
trick.

You are correct. I was told by a heart specialist that diet could
change cholesterol by *about* 10%, if that. He was also the guy that
told me the story about "you don't have to take the pill, just
exercise" and went on to say that people didn't want to hear that.
Cheers,

Schweik
