Heart patient here. I had huge arguments with doctors over Statins. Aside from the constant pain they made my legs weak and so they'd collapse under me with no warning. The doctors couldn't understand that collapsing while crossing the road is a more serious risk than a possible future heart attack. As far as they were concerned Statins are a wonder drug and I was a heretic for speaking against them.

THE MEDICAL PROFESSION IS JUST LAME. DRUG COMPANIES ARE CORRUPT BUT DOCTORS GO ALONG ON FOR A RIDE ON THE MONEY CHAIN. AND NOW NBC IS GOING ALONG FOR THE RIDE. EVERY PHYSICIAN SHOULD RECOMMEND Co-Q10 WITH STATINS. AND DOES THIS VIDEO MENTION IT? no no no no no no no

I found out 3 years ago that morphine does not work on me. All these years I told my doctors that the pain medication they prescribed wasn't working and they would just laugh at me and say it was in my head that I thought the medication wasn't working. I don't see doctors anymore.

I felt like my muscles were being torn away from the bones. I refuse to take statins.

Ok baby huey

COq10 IS THE ANSWER, OFTEN.

Oh wow. Only a month and it got that severe?

What was crazy is that it took me at least a week in severe pain before I connected the pain to the meds. They warned me of the possible side effects before taking the meds.

Simvastatin was what I reacted to.

@@Lynn.Panadero4242 What kind of pain was it?

Hmmm...does make you wonder.

There is a group of British Cardiologist that wan them band. They said their patients are worse on them. And they wonder where Alzheimer's comes from. Another bad mix is if your taking Metformin. Deadly to the brain.

I know...how convenient.

@@nordge44Is Metformin itself a good drug? The mix of metformin and statin is bad? 😢

What is the name of the new drug?

I had no idea you couldn't have grapefruit on statin my doctor never told me. I read after doing research on it.

im confussed my son in law is a heart surgeon and says i need to be on statin my cholesteral numbers where like 141 and 40

WOW, that is scary.

300 "side" effects, memory loss been one of them, have been known for many years, but ignored by MSM.

Don't tell them what you learn from KZfaq too.

Like a doctor once said, "We're not smarter than anyone else. We just have better memories."

Surprise surprise. Doctors finally acknowledge side effects where there is an alternative... Coincidentally the alternative is more expensive. Ha ha ha.

The irony.

But only when they have an opportunity to make more money.😊

LOLOL, aren't they precious?! After 4.5 weeks I quit statins and its supporting medications - they were monstrously debilitating and I'd become unable to function on my own. Then I had a life threatening reaction to the medically recommended "whole plant diet" from which I am trying to recover. 😖

But that's not science!!!! Yeah, I mean a few people - but a lot reported the problem. Statins are overprescribed anyway - especially for people over 70 years. The best evidence shows a reduction of about 15% in cardiovascular mortality risk (that is risk not mortality). One Chinese study found no impact on overall mortality.

Why did this just come up in my feed?

My cardiologist told me that my medication does not cause a buzzing or ringing in the head yet it is listed a possible side effect and started less than 2 weeks after I began taking it.

11. Right.

I just quit the statin a month go because I developed lower back and muscle pain. Th elowerback apon stopped and I'm hoping the joint pain is not permanent.

Is your husband on any other meds? Does he take any supplements? I recommend researching nutriceuticals/foods/supplements for muscle/nerve damage. A few vitamins that may be of benefit (research/ask a qualified/trusted nutritionist) are vitamin B complex, vitamin D (at least 4 or 5 thousand ius, maybe more to begin with) magnesium/potassium (as long as he is NOT on meds that can INCREASE potassium levels) vitamin C (no more than 500 mg) and zinc (no more than 40 mg). Of course, diet and water intake are very important roles.

@Citizenthirteen You don't think sugar is the problem, why is HFCS in 75% if not higher in all the processed foods.

Not necessarily. But too much sugar is the problem when our body can't handle too much of it. But it's true that Cholesterol is not the problem at all.

@@dmana3172 Fructose and HFCS is metabolized by the liver and if not needed the liver converts it into fat, your body doesn't need you to eat carbs, if your body needs glucose your body can produce it through gluconeogenesis.

I don't have high cholesterol , but my doctor wants it under normal. Diet won't change that. And a lot of people have hereditary cholesterol issues. Diet won't fix everything. Just because someone has an issue doesn't mean they aren't eating the right food. Some people just have that. But nevertheless, the side effects were too much. I'll just have to live with normal cholesterol .

I’ve seen people with hereditary cholesterol issues get in the normal range by going vegan or by seriously cutting back on carbs and increasing vegetables

Years ago, I had a bad case of bronchitis, and I knew it. I saw my primary, and he decided to put me on acid reflux medications, much to my dismay, and he refused to x-ray my chest to confirm my suspicions. Two days later I end up in the ER, and my nurse did the history, what meds I was on, etc. When she heard I was on acid reflux meds, she told me of the evils of those medications. Those meds are statins and thicken the mucus in your lungs, that's why you are much sicker than you were two days ago. She told me I have options to either quit taking them and go on a very strong strain of antibiotics (after seeing the x-ray, I was shocked), or end up with pneumonia and possibly die from that. Naturally, I chose the antibiotics and stopped seeing that primary immediately. Rose A, I praise your decision to stop taking them, because they are dangerous!! Stay well, my friend!!

@@lisarice4402 Really... - A Bronchitis isn’t visible in an x-ray. Only a pneumonia is. - a bronchitis is diagnosed by symptoms, auscultation and blood work , which your doctor should have done. - anti acid drugs don’t worsen a bronchitis. Zero, nada, rien. - today you hardly die from a pneumonia unless you are of high age, multi morbid, immune suppressed or in a very poor shape. And drugs against hyperacidity aren’t statins.

Celisar1 - I know what I saw having been x-rayed for that many times in my life. I paid extremely close attention to what the nurse said, and have been off all acid reflux medication since. They ARE dangerous, especially for those of us who deal with brain injury and breathing difficulties on a daily basis. I know what I can and cannot take, and I will not hurt myself to make anyone feel like they ‘know’ me better than I do. These health issues are NOT yours to comment on. Move on!!

Niacin will reduce cholesterol without the side effects. I take the lowest dose I can find, 100mg, just twice a week . My cholesterol is fine.

You are correct. Every single person on a statin will absolutely develop muscle damage. There is a study that proved this via muscle biopsies, proving wrong about a safe level of having elevating enzymes called CPK. creatine phosphore kinase.... Research it.

Me too, my knees and my hip, stopped the meds and so much better

YEP! Only after 3 weeks of taking Lipitor, it feels like I have a pulled muscle in my right quadricep. Only thing I do is walk, pushups & situps. Also, both my hands have been hurting like crazy! I quit taking the lipitor a day ago.

Cholesterol testing is a scam. Cholesterol is required to be healthy or the body would not produce it naturally. Cholesterol does not cause heart attacks. Research coronary calcium testing.

You got a study of one. Typical, because you're promoting a book that looks like typical anti-carb BS. It's taking advantage of the fact biology is complex.

Oh my God! That's awful.

High cholesterol puts you at risk, but there are other causes as well. People with low cholesterol can and do have heart attacks.

OK, but there’s a lot of stuff that can cause a heart attack, did she smoke? Did she have high blood pressure? It seems like a very disingenuous statement

Also the creation of LDL as the "bad cholesterol" is b .s. There are plenty of professionals : cardiologists, MDs on the globe now challenging the whole created ideas that were funded by Pharma back in the late 50s/60s.

I had the same problems with red yeast rice--now I take flax seed oil, krill oil, resveratrol and gugullipid-I dropped my cholesterol 82 points in 3 months with no side effects

Red yeast rice (if you can get the real untampered thing, preferably by making it yourself starting with stuff you buy at an Oriental grocery) in fact contains a statin. Oyster mushrooms do also (but don't overdo them, half a mushroom per day is probably ballpark target). Back 15 years ago when I didn't have any insurance and I'd run out of Lipitor, I ate one oyster mushroom per day. My blood tests later that year showed that was too much. The drawback of these natural solutions is that it's hard to know what actual dosage you're getting, and it probably varies from batch to batch.

Red yeast rice, natural or not, IS a statin. I do not recommend it. Nattokinase, niacin and other compounds are much safer

I agree! I am on a Paleo diet and have no problem with cholesterol or high BP. Changing our diets should always be the first step, not medication. You were very smart to go natural!

I had the same experience - and I've lost faith in the doc on this. I'm forced to do as much research as I can, change my diet as best i can, do regular exercise. there are now two competing theories about how cholesterol works statin sales are based on the one that's currently popular in the med world. it's frightening that there should be such a situation. I rememer thalidomide, and just read about vioxx. now i'm reading about a lipitor study that suggests they reduce heart attacks by 1.1% and yet the drug co said it reduces risk by 36% who do we trust?

They quote relative risk instead of absolute risk because it gives a higher figure. Misleading to boost sales. Profit over patient welfare.

Absolutely true! Go on a plant based diet & exercise.

Going plant based is the worst thing you can do for your health. Plants are full of toxins and antinutrients and is not at all what any human has ever thrived on without pumping themselves with fake vitamins. Every cell in your body needs animal fat and protein. I was a vegetarian for 20 years and the amount of health problems I had was unreal. I was literally dying. I cut out all plants and got off four medications and am healthier than I've ever been in my life. I'll never poison myself with plants again.

Even better, go on a LCHF diet, become insulin sensitive and exercise!

When you reduced sugar did you limit fruit intake?

@@JoelRoseTV Yes, all fruit. Now this spring I did have strawberries for a week as they were in season.

What’s very low dose? I got 20 mg but it’s making me feel extremely sore.

Same here. My first ever lab was age 26. My total cholesterol was almost 300 and triglycerides over 350. I tried losing weight, jogging and the best I could get was 277. I started lipitor and it all came to normal range. Now it's so ideal to low at 110 ttl. I quit taking. If I ever get near 200 I'll go back on it

FIRE THE DOCTOR! Shop around by connecting with self-help groups for heart disease patients. Also, "Integrative Health" combines herbal and AMA medicine, along with Allied Health pros. We have it at HCMC in the Twin Cities. I'm sure other medical centers do to. Just remember, if the only tool you have is a hammer, everything you see will look like a nail, and chiropractors and NDs are subject to bias, too.

@@sedg03 not sure! one thing that could help is to offer a reasonable path to get your M D without accruing a quarter mil in debt, lets say 5 to seven years of working with a stipend to live on .then your school is paid off. they can serve in rural and other places that can't support a doc. this might attract some less greedy people. also, stop letting big pharma and the food industry influence how docs are taught in med school. it's just a thought.

Doctors get a kickback from the drug companies. That says most of the problem, the rest of the problem is arrogance and lawyers. Arrogance is taught in medical school, corrupting the legal system is taught in law school. In the end only the lawyers win. EVERYBODY ELSE LOSES!

wisco Yeah and notice which of those videos have the comments turned off to avoid people pointing out flaws and which dont

Not really. Selling 25 million doses a day will slow down the review process.

They didn’t need a study. They should have just listened to their patients.

I’ve been on 10 mgs for almost 30 years. I have never had any side effects. In 2000, my moms Dr prescribed them for her and within a week she couldn’t walk. She went off them and returned to normal within days. Several months later the Dr wanted her to try again since he ‘thought it was all in her head.’ Yeah, something happened.

I also take 10mg with no side effects. But many patients require a higher dose which causes problems.

@@Stewmade64 Plaque builds up in response to cardiovascular disease. It's trying to repair damage to the artery wall. If you are not eating foods that cause the inflammation that leads to CVD then no plaque will build up.

There is documented research about the poor health of civilisations that ate mostly grain based diets. Egyptian skeletons show dental decay and bone disease even in relatively young mummy's and they ate a grain and corn based diet with very little animal protein. Keto based diets are nutrient dense and there is no evidence that they are harmful long term. That's plant based propaganda.

Irene Ewens wow, don’t know what science based studies you’ve read. What do you think causes cardio vascular disease? Genetics? THERE IS CHOLESTEROL IN ANIMAL PRODUCTS. Look up Arteriosclerosis sometime. Look at our teeth compared to another carnivore. Our teeth were not meant to eat meat. But comparing prehistoric “hunters & gatherer meat to today’s mass produced industrialized meat farms, you are getting hormones that don’t belong in humans, your getting allowable amounts of antibiotics, far from “nutrient” you can get. I’m not talking just grains, I’m talking a whole plant based diet. The same beneficial blood work and health improvements will occur without the worry about bacteria poisoning, hormones, or antibiotics. The meat and dairy industry also produces studies that you are most likely following in order to insure survival of their industries. I work with 5 cardiac surgeons that also agree with me. Maybe do some research from JAMA studies instead of Dr Oz. Just don’t be surprised when you start getting heart palpitations or one side of your face starts to sag.

Read some information that recommended women should NOT take statins.

I agree, big pharma lies!!! 👍🏼 Congrat's on the regular levels of things!!! Statins killed my father!!! 😡😠🤬

Reference ranges on lab tests for substances found in the human body are determined by statistical analysis with 95% of values being inside the normal range. Cholesterol is the only lab value that isn't done this way to make more people abnormal. Forty years ago the normal range for cholesterol was 150-300 mg/dl which is the proper way of determining the values. Today a proper statistical analysis of cholesterol would be lower due to intake of statins. Drug companies got labs to make the range below 200 so they could put most people on statins. I am a retired laboratory medical technologist. Most hormones are made from cholesterol so if you get your cholesterol too low you will have hormone deficiencies like low testosterone. Drug companies are as corrupt as the tobacco companies.

@@bobs182 Many thanks for your reply! Have a nice day!

Congratulations on completing your cancer treatment. I do hope that something can be developed that doesn't cause so much pain in the process. God bless.

Maybe some do have real pain, but I have taken statins a lot and never had a single problem.
