And why not? 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.

Although I am fully aware of the dangers of writing about conspiracies, it seems to me that we are in the midst of a truly remarkable global genocide experiment. It now includes us whities.

Simvastatin (Zocor) injured me as follows:
1. Myopathy: Left leg, very painful limp (intermittent failure of left leg to support body
weight); Skeletal muscle damage from left hip down-no joint pain; Bladder smooth
muscle damage requiring the use of a catheter for urination (some 2000 times since Dec 2004); Damage to liver, heart, lungs, kidneys and other parts of body unknown;
2. Serious and disabling loss of energy, sleepiness, personality change, resulting from prescription drug inhibition of CoQ10;
3. Zocor combined with Coumadin in my opinion caused blinding ocular hemorrhage.

Re-reading this I would hope that Dr. Mirkin is by now seeing the light.
Statins have proven to be of miniscule benefit to a very few and are inflicting major damage to innocent people.
IMO there is no role for statins in medicine.

My Mother died last week...due to the complete shutdown of her entire digestive system...
...painfully,....she died.

A very together and vivacious woman, odd muscle pain eminating from the trunk of her body was one of the 1st indications that something was wrong---about 6 years back these strange, unexplained occurances of muscle related pain, bowels not working properly, distention of her gut,...no one could figure out what the hell was happening to her. Constant nausua, vomiting, and weight loss--down to 100 lbs from 150 lbs.-- within 6 months timeframe....She went thru exploratory surgeries, never could anything be found that would account for her ailments. Finally a piccline had to be inserted to feed her nutriants since the small intestines didn't seem to absorb nutriants any longer...a medaport was installed in her chestwall later on, The nausua turning to vomit, ...last year a colonoscopy procedure became the complete removal of her entire colan---nothing was moving thru it since there seemed to be no muscle control whatsoever..So an illeostomy was the next step.....mind you thru out these years of muscle pain she was prescribed prednisolone--she'd been on that from the very beginning of this nightmare---(intensely bad back pain came finally since the prednisolone had weakened her spine and stress fractures were now present. The stress fractures would keep her in constant agony til the moment she died)...

So what was once a vibrant woman of age 68 became a dead woman at the age of 74---she had been on Lipitor and Fosamax since their inceptions into the RX world . .I'm certain it was the L
ipitor that drove her into the nightmare, I'm quite sure that Fosamax had a helping hand in pushing her furthur into hell.

These drugs have never been tested on a level that can render complete confidence to validate their usage--its a crime. Drug trials are insanely short spans of time with a select number of "test Dummies" who happened to "qualify" under certain criteria ' that the drug companies establish before hand....2 to 3 weeks of a testing the drug s reliability/worthiness/side effects---on only a select few people who fit the drug makers criteria for a suitable test---That is incredible.

John Q. public is simply the guinnia pigs of science gone mad...

Response:

Science has nothing to do with it. It is greed pure and simple...

I have just caught up to the education I was denied after a
diagnosis of fibromyalgia 2 years ago. I begged to be taken off lisinopril and doctor finally agreed. Friends, family reported I wasn't "present" in conversations. Arms then went weak in the forearm, later pain in wrists, hands, shoulders, then hips. Now my feet and ankles hurt so bad I can't walk and stand for more than 1/2 hour. Didn't realize until now that it will get my knees next.

Can you tell me how to join any class action suit. There's nothing now that will change my mind about the cause. My existence is intolerable and lonely. No drug touches the pain.
