Respectfully, can you cite any double-blind studies showing this to be true?
I can’t, but online searches are loaded with examples.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29427042/
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17536877/

The fact that formal studies are hard to come by doesn’t take this out of anecdotal phase as far as I’m concerned. Pharma companies don’t save lives. They exist solely to make money.
Statins are one of their blockbuster drugs. They won’t do anything to kill that golden goose…

“Statins have been suspected as a cause for ALS for quite some time now.”
________________________________
I was on several versions of Statins.
First one, then another, as they tried to get me adjusted.
Instead, I looked, “like a drunk sailor who managed to hit every bar,” per the observation of one of my doctors.
It’s a nasty side effect .... muscle and skeletal issues...
So now I am on a Tier 4 medication and paying for it fully out of pocket.
I’ve tried to get my beloved off of Statins; his doctor, for some reason wants him to continue with what particular one he is on at the moment.
It only took probably a week, TWO weeks at the top on the new medication and I could walk properly (use a cane for other reasons) and haven’t fallen yet in the shower.... Can also close my eyes and not fall....it made a damn big difference.
The Statins (whatever the full line is called) is now in my medical records as something I cannot use.
