Dr. Mercola on statin drugs

[Guest guest]

Dr Mercola ~

Statin drugs can actually increase your risk of heart disease because they deplete your body of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) (which ironically can lead to heart failure). They have also been linked to:

Weakness

Muscle aches

An increase in cancer risk

Immune system suppression

Serious degenerative muscle tissue condition (rhabdomyolysis)

Potential increase in liver enzymes so patients must be monitored for normal liver function http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/1/31/popular-cholesterol-drug-found-to-have-no-medical-benefits.aspxWho's never won? Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.
