Even if the numbers are legit, who's to say the same results cannot be achieved with nutritional supplements that make the patient healthier with the very nasty side effects.

No doctor will ever get me on a statin drug. I've seen the side effects. This is nothing more than an attempt to spur drug sales. I am not impressed.

These drug pushers do not care about the side effects.

Absolutely! Our office strongly encourages the use of complimentary and alternative solutions to cardiac and cholestrol issues......and discourage statins of any kind.

If a statin is taken....PLEASE use at least 100mg of the crystal free CoQ10 a day to counteract the drugs side effects!! What is really interesting is how many Docs poo-poo the CoQ10 when it is cleary written in the drug manufacturers literature that the drug depletes CoQ10 and depending on the overall health of the patient....at a very rapid rate!
