Re: Statin Drugs: Bad News Gets Worse

[Guest guest]

Under the heading of 'consider the source'...I just wanted to point out that

this article was written by Dr. Blaylock, who some may consider

controversial. To judge for yourself, you may want to visit his website. While

visiting, you may notice that he also strongly believes over-vaccination is the

cause of the increase in autism, another very controversial topic.

As for Statins...The recent " bad news " was regarding Zetia, which is not a

statin. Zetia was added to a statin in the hopes that these two medications

together would produce better results than the statin alone. Unfortunately, the

results were worse than statins alone, which was very disappointing for the

makers of Zetia and for those of us looking for a non-statin solution.

Clearly, there is still much that needs to be learned on this topic and many of

us are faced with the difficult dilemma of deciding now whether or not to take

statins. In making this decision, it's wise to consult with a trusted

physician. If your doctor is not familiar with statins in CMT patients, who may

want to share the attached...

limited, but it may help in the decision-making process.
