Simvastatin side effects printed on their leaflet makes no mention at all about loss of memory.

In fact........Merck UK admit they have had 47 cases in the UK of patients taking Simvastatin who have or have had memory problems.

Here is the best bit.......Merck will not inform patients about such minor problems and will only deal direct with the doctor.

Now to me, this is totally unacceptable, after all the patient is the one who takes the Statin and should be informed of this additional side effect; it should be printed on the leaflet as a possible side effect; it is not.

I wish everyone would get with the program and read Shane Ellison's book "Hidden Truth about Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs".(www.healthmyths.net) It will open your eyes to the truth about the lies that have been accepted by everyone about cholesterol. Even Kevin Trudeau mentions this in his books. The LORD made our bodies perfect in the beginning, for we are made in HIS image, but the sin of Adam and Eve changed their bodies from incorruptible to corruptible, so now we their descedants have a physical body that slowly ages and dies. Thanks to biochemists, even though some are evolutionists, have observed through their scientific research that a lot of our enzymes, proteins, and other important growth chemical compounds, such as cholesterol, decrease as we age. Actually these decreases cause us age naturally. Have you noticed the big push against aging, even amongest the wholistic community? Why is that? It is appointed man once to die and after this the Jugdement. Is it possible people fear aging because it brings them closer to the reality of death? Or could the other reason be "vanity", as Solomon writes about in the Book of Ecclesiastes? Because of these scientists research we are becoming more aware of how fearfully and wonderfully we are really made (created). Evolution is the biggest lie of Satan, who is the "god of this world" to further "beguile" mankind away from loving and serving a HOLY and JUST GOD. Read Michael J. Behe's "Darwin's Black Box" to see the many evidences of creation seen from a biochemist's objective and scientific research. Remember "sin" is the cause of all diseases and phyiscal death, which will remain with mankind till the LORD comes and estabishes a New Heaven and a New Earth. I believe my body is HIS TEMPLE, so I must take care of it for HIM.

Now that Zocor can be prescribed as a generic drug, Pfizer has Robert Jarvik, inventor of the Jarvik 7 artificial heart, doing radio commercials downplaying the "effectiveness" of Zocor. He repeatedly says Lipitor is the most widely prescribed medicine in the world because it lowers cholesterol much better than Zocor. I'm sure most of you have seen Robert Jarvik's TV spots promoting Lipitor. I wonder how much Pfizer is paying Jarvik.

Will Pfizer stop at nothing to promote this toxic poison called Lipitor?

Statins interfere with enzyme processes that effect other things besides the cholesterol number. Statins lower the amount of CoQ10 in the body. Low CoQ10 is a sign of cancer (raising CoQ10 is one of the effective alternative cancer cures). Therefore statins cause cancer! The rat studies on statins. indicated this increase in cancer

My mom a seven year statin users is dying from pancreatic cancer right now. I don't understand why nobody is warning people of this serious side affect.

Great advice Josh.

They will never develop a “wonder drug” to prevent heart disease because the whole cholesterol-heart hypothesis has always been FALSE. To admit they have been barking up the wrong tree for fifty years and go back to the drawing board would be commercial suicide for them – how would they pay for their ruby-encrusted Manolo Blahnik sling-backs? They are doing the only thing that evil beings can do – poisoning millions of people in the name of profit.

There is a direct correlation between HDL production and the level of cardiovascular fitness, this is proven by science, in labs on human subjects!
So if you increase your level of cardiovascular condition, ie aerobic exercise, then you will automatically increase your level of HDL production.
The other side effects of CV endurance are too numerous to list, and they are all good for your body.
Cannot wait for the pill I can take which will allow me to sit at home and watch TV and get Cardiovascularly fit! What will they think of next.

Since boosting HDL, via drug or via direct infusion of HDL, didn't make a difference, one has to wonder if the coronary advantages of high HDL are not due to the HDL, but instead the higher level of HDL is simply a response to the coronary health or other beneficial factors. Whenever one sees a correlation between a desirable health outcome and a dietary or physiologic factor, there is a temptation to say the factor causes the ooutcome. It could be the other way around, or incidental.

The way drug makers control a discussion is really amazing, "good cholesterol "; "bad cholesterol" once you think in those terms they have already won haft the battle. An excellent article on this web cite " Cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease" By Ron Rosedale MD makes the point that inflamation: not cholesterol levels cause heart problems,THe next time you watch a commercial for statins watch the disclaimer :" has not been proven to prevent heart attacks or strokes" or some such language. Anyone interested should research this. Ldl and Hdl are not really the good or bad guys in this story. They just reflect 'as markers ' other things going on in your body. Exercise; eating for your metabolic type can show real and permanent benefits to your health.

You can bet, Big Pharma, be it Pfizer, Roche, Merck, or other EVIL marketers, are right now trying to figure out how to recoup the claimed 'billion dollar loss' (I do not believe it) by spinning the same poison, under another application, and/or brand name, for some other nefarious and/or deadly exploitation of the public.

Folks these companies are imploding and laying off thousands, in weekly announcements, because finally they cannot control the flow of bad news information, on how insipidly corrupt, and evil, they have become, and the American public is voting with their wallets, and just saying "NO".

This too is why you see these death merchants outsourcing to China, both their research and their production, because they are being outed here.

Remember, Big Pharma merely needs to get about 10% of the Chinese market place, to hoist the outed brands here, on an unsuspecting and closed corrupt system there, by bribing Communists officials (a daily practice).

It's what Big Tobacco did, when they lost market share here.

I noticed the Yahoo article stated that if Baycol had been the first statin developed and research stopped after safety problems first developed we would not even have this class of medications. Looks like the pharmaceutical companies have a long history of disregarding information that can harm their bottom line. Of course this is not new information to many of the people reading your newsletter. What you need to do is take responsibility for your own health.

This is insane! A great way to get your good cholesterol up is this (which I have done with hundreds of clients):

1. Get your thyroid, adrenals, gut and liver tested. YOu can do this through labs through BioHealth, Metametrix and Diagnos-Techs. Hidden inflammation, detox issues, parasites, hypothyroid, adrenal issues and so on can cause high cholesterol.

2. Eat right for your MT

3. Eat fat to loose fat. This helps as well to provide the body with good quality fats, cholesterol and is a precursor to every hormone in your body.

4. Sleep: 10-6am

5. Water: half body weight in onces per day

6. Take part in any type of stress reduction activity you can think of: qi gong, meditation, tai chi, etc.
