Re: Crestor trial --JUPITER

[Guest guest]

Whilst I was on Statins I was bordering on diabetes. My levels have

now recovered after 8 months off the poison. If I had continued on my

Simvastatin I would have been diagnosed with diabetes by now - and I

have the tests to prove it. Pamela

Excellent post. If you are the one who posted this info on Dr.

Richman's WebMD cholesterol forum, I thank you, and encourage you to

look at my reply there.

Taking the time to post information like this on forums could save

someone else the agony of statin poisoning, and help them learn the

truth.

Thanks to everyone who participated. Its a really good feeling

knowing that when I run across a physician deceiving innocent

consumers, I can call in an " Airstrike " from my friends here.

If you ever need me, just give me the " GPS coordinates " And I'll be

there.
