[QUOTE="TheBigNewt, post: 1634953, member: 380756"] The guy says it costs $14,000/year to treat somebody with a statin? I can buy 90 days of Lipitor 80mg without insurance for about $20. He says the incidence of rhabdomyolysis on Lipitor 80mg is 11%. Well in the SEARCH trial using simvastatin 80mg vs 20mg over 6.7 years the incidence of rhabdo was 0.4% in the high dose group, and incidence of myopathy was 0.9% in the high dose group. Simvistatin's side effects are generally higher than Lipitor's. He said 30% of people taking Liptor will get Type 2 diabetes. Maybe his people are eating too many avacados and taking too much CoQ10 (now there's a snake oil wannabe if there ever was one). I just don't see the stuff happening he throws up there. But I treat coronary disease he doesn't. [/QUOTE]
