Statin Side Effects

http://www.freewebs.com/stopped_our_statins/index.htm

 

While taking a statin, do/did you experience:

* Shoulder/neck or muscle pain?

* Difficulty turning over in bed?

* Difficulty walking (heavy legs)?

* Frequent fatigue for no apparent reason?

 

Just SOME of the most serious complications from statins:

 

* Rhabdomyolysis:

Muscle deterioration; severe cases can lead to kidney failure & death.

* Increased Creatine Phosphokinase [CK or CPK]:

Enzyme released due to damage of the muscles of the heart, body and brain

* Memory Loss, often mistaken for Alzheimer's

* Parkinson's type symptoms

* Cancer

* Heart Palpitations & Arrhythmias

* Migraines

* Digestive Disorders

 

Did your doctor...

Ever tell you that you should take CoQ10 when taking statins?

Explain all the possible side effects that might far outweigh any benefit?

Tell you that statins can make you exercise intolerant?

Ever ask if you were experiencing memory decline?

 

And when you complained of muscle pain...

Did your CK or CPK test come back NORMAL?

AND your Dr. said Statins are NOT the problem;

Must be arthritis? Old age?

 

Only you can answer these questions.

Statins & CoQ10 Deficiency

CoQ10 (Also known as Coenzyme Q10 - Q10 Co-enzyme Q10 – Ubiquinone) plays a

critically important role in energy production and possibly an even greater

role within the mitochondria as an anti-oxidant, with a free radical-quenching

ability some 50 times greater than that of vitamin E. 

Statins & CoQ10 Deficiency

Homocysteine

Elevated homocysteine was identified over 40 years ago as a better indicator

of heart disease than high cholesterol. BUT the medical community took a

U-Turn and stayed with the high cholesterol theory. There are several books and

articles on this website that discuss (elevated) homocysteine, how it affects

your heart health and how to regulate homocysteine.

Thanks for this post and its links..

 

 

 

NOTE: coQ10 is cited as being FIFTY (50) times as effective an

antioxidant than is Vitamin E; ck archives for vitamin E---it's not

too bad.. No wonder the Japanese consider " B10 " a " miracle cure " for

many things. Steve Sinatra gave up his medical practice to go out and

evangelize this nutrient and offers recovery stories that are

incredible. (like folks whose life expectancy was less than their wait

for transplant--heart or kidney--that didn't need transplant when their

time had come on waiting list.) UncBob
