Cholesterol and Statins

That happened to my dad , he had a heart attack when he was early sixty and was put on statins, the change was terrible he ended up crouched over couldn't remember much coudln't do anything he loved again, constant pain in his body especially his left side and he was told he had Parkinson's and then dementia , but he did not and never did shake , they said it was a sister type of Parkinson's. so onto the treatment and he got worse and worse, falling over hurting himself and the doctor took 9 tablets off him, one being the statin and metformin, he was put in a care home in the January and also he had his dementia tablet accidently stopped , that caused many problems but his mind was all there he got his memory back and started walking again , he knew everything he remembered everything he even passed the memory test , he then got sepsis because i believe the care home was dirty and within weeks he died , he was put on end of life and took 7 days to die and was a skeleton , I will never get over this I still cry and it breaks my heart to know what those statin drugs did to my most wonderful dad who was really scared of medications and scared of dying . I stayed with him nearly all day and tried to make him feel safe until he passed away during the night when my brother was with him . I hate statins with a vengence .
 
Kendrick was recently a guest with Vinnie Tortorich on the Fitnesses Confidential podcast. He wasn’t pulling any punches on statins.

Do you have a link, I love his no nonsense approach.
 

This mirrors my dad’s experience at age 56

I was 13, watching him deteriorate. I was confused and scared.

At 56, they prescribed me statins.

I filled Rx

I’ve never taken them.
