I quite agree and will not allow our physician to prescribe statins as I have read all the literature. Derek Barrett, aged 85, Queensland, Australia

"Statins are considered so beneficial for most of the population that some doctors only half-jokingly suggest that we should put them in our water. Statins are available only by prescription, and can be expensive, but they're lifesavers." Are you kidding? What studies are you using to verify this statement? There's been more studies showing the horrible side effects of statins and how they contribute to heart disease as they lower COQ-10 levels which the heart deperately needs as people age. Read Dr. Susan Larks newsletter. In it she explains how dangerous statins are and especially for women. In studies done in the '90's published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, and the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology's letters, it can't stress enough how statins deplete the body of COQ-10 and what is so sad is that doctors only listen to Pharmaceutical Reps. and never take time to do their own research. How many people a day have heart attacks that could have been avoided had they known about COQ-10 but their doctors didn't know either nor failed to tell their patients? It's certainly time for doctors to get with the 21st century.
