I found dosage levels are important… I quit statins about

a year ago (Lovastatin in my case) and was doing 1000mg CoQ10 for awhile as

part of the recovery process.

My physical symptoms (numbness in my hands and arms, almost

crippling knee “sprains” etc). went away so I cut back to 200mg “maintenance”…

While my physical symptoms didn’t return, I felt a decline

in mental acuity so I’ve gone back to 800mg a day and noticed the

mental sharpness returned. I do tech support so “brain power”

counts .

I have no way to test the change but seem to have much better

short-term memory and analytical skills.

My father , who had also been on statins for some years because

of the hereditary high blood pressure that runs in my family, died last year of

undiagnosed hydrocephalus. He was a rocket scientist with NASA and the last

decade of his life presented with Alzheimer-like symptoms.

Well actually for “cholesterol” which “causes

high blood pressure” the usual bullshit model which has more to do with profits

than physical reality. (They also had him on diuretics which gave him the gout

BTW) Now I wonder if some of the” gout” symptoms weren’t

actually statin-related. I’m not sure how long he was taking statins. At

least for a decade I suspect.

Kip, I went to Mercola's clinic, as I live close by, on the advice of a dear

friend who swears by him and his ideas, which greatly benefited her chronic back

pain problem. I met with the man himself for the best part of an hour and was

very, very impressed with him and with the subsequent treatments I received from

his staff, as odd as some of those treatments appeared. I have subscribed to his

newsletter and read his book. I respect him a great deal. I think it is the big

pharma-doctor alliance that more closely meet the definition of quack.

Keep in mind that these same folks that consider Mercola sort of "Unusual" in his approach, are the same ones that labeled Drs.McDougall and Ornish, as being out in left field because of their approach to preventative and treatment of heart disease. Dr.Ornish, is also pioneering a low fat approach to battling prostate cancer and still some of the "Know it alls" are questioning that.
