[QUOTE="AliB, post: 200318, member: 16907"] We have a friend who completely lost his memory due to statins - didn't even know his family! His memory did come back to a certain extent eventually but he is not the same man he was before - he also suffers with awful joint pain. Because he has implicit faith in his GP he is still on them..... All this hype about cholesterol gets me going. Try reading Malcolm Kendrick's 'the great cholesterol con' or other informative publications on it. Cholesterol is nothing to be scared of. It is there to do a job. Cholesterol is needed all over the body for different functions and for repair. If you have inflammation in the body, cholesterol will be floating around trying to repair the damage. The more inflammation, the higher the cholesterol. If you want to lower your cholesterol, the safest way is to do it through diet. It's the processed and refined foods we consume, whether carbs, fats or protein - that are in forms the body can't deal with properly - that trigger the inflammation. The body tries to use this 'food' for different purposes, but because it isn't the right stuff - and we aren't giving it the right stuff, it sets up inflammation. We assume that because it's 'edible' it must be ok, but food has to interact with other chemicals within the body to be effective. If the body can't get the right stuff it will grab the next best thing, which may not work as effectively, and might even cause problems. All drugs are toxic to a greater or lesser degree, and in the long run can often just make things worse. Those who take statins obviously do so at their own risk, but we shouldn't assume that our best interests are at heart when we are prescribed them - sometimes it is more likely to be in the best interests of the pharmaceutical companies...... I was offered them, but told the Diabetic 'Specialist' where they would do the most good - in the bin. :roll: [/QUOTE]
