Muscle Side Effects Of Statins
CategoriesAnd the saga continues. "The brain (a high site for cholesterol) and nerves require cholesterol to function. Cholesterol is the raw material for hormone production, vitamin D synthesis, and maintains the integrity of cell membranes." Croft Woodruff
Low cholesterol is associated with significant associations with death from cancer, liver diseases, and mental diseases.*
Dr. Mirkin's blind faith in the safety of statins is truly staggering not to mention his utter lack of knowledge about the role and the importance of cholesterol in health.

MUSCLE SIDE EFFECTS OF STATINS
Gabe Mirkin, M.D.
A report from Austria confirms that statin drugs, used to lower blood cholesterol, can cause muscle pain and injuries. Statin drugs, such as Zocor, Pravachol, Mevacor, Lescol, Lipitor, and Alatocor save lives by lowering blood cholesterol levels, even in people who have normal values. These drugs are safe, but on rare occasions, can cause nerve damage and muscle pain.
Most people who take cholesterol-lowering drugs do not suffer muscle pain unless they exercise. Hard exercise damages muscles, causing soreness on the next day. Most exercisers work out intensely enough to cause muscle soreness for one or two days and then, exercise at a reduced intensity until the soreness goes away, usually in a couple for days. Statin drugs delay recovery often taking more than a week for the soreness to go away so a person can exercise intensely again. Exercising intensely when muscles are sore can cause muscle injuries.
