Statins are gonna kill you eventually. They cause muscle pain, premature aging, memory loss, even cancer...

I have a first in office appt. with the cardiologist who did my emergency stent after having a heart attack less than two weeks ago. I've had my insurance deny two different 'scripts for statins, and quite honestly, I think that's divine intervention.

I do not want to take statins, and I've started taking serrapeptase to help with reducing the plaque....there are no other clogs in my ateries, but they are showing signs of constriction.

A client of mine told me about ezetimibe, the generic for Zetia, and I'm wondering if youse guyses have any personal experience about this drug. It is not a statin, and is used in concert with a statin. I'm hoping to use it in concert with the serrapeptase with be efficient in lowering my levels.

I suppose what I'm hoping is that the doc will approve of this without too much argument.

I know I do not have to take anything I don't want to, but my cholesterol readings are very high, and I so do not want to have another heart attack. It hurts really, really bad to have a heart attack.

I'm also totally changing up my diet more to plant based foods, and I'm going to start walking very soon. I know that's key to my health also.

Also, I do take in oils. I eat organic butter, I take CBD oil, black seed oil, and other oils, so I'm not so much concerned about not getting enough oils.

Can anyone here advise me? My appt. is in two hours, and I don't want to see him without being at least a bit educated.

Thank you....

Stevia

Don't buy stevia in stores, it's all processed and cut with stuff (owned by big corps coke/pepsi). Get Better Stevia powder off Amazon or similar product. Pure stevia extract. You can try the leaves but just weren't sweet enough for me.

In actual, unbiased, studies, there was practically no benefit to statins. Statins do increase calcium deposits in coronary arteries. People that have been taking statins for a while will have coronary artery calcium scores that that generally only appear in people that have already died of heart disease. When my father-in-law died, his score would have been about 1500, and he hadn't taken the statins for 3 years before he died. My brother was on them for seven years, and hit 1400! We are working to reverse the damage now.

I've seen some things in my family and friends.
One began to shake (an older person) tremors
Another had muscle pain (a younger man) that took a long time to go away

The fastest way to recover is obvious: eating lots of cholesterol foods! (which were never bad in the first place)

Cholesterol are the fire fighters, inflammation is the problem

How long to go away. I took that crap for 2.5 months.

Quit it & fired my doctor. Still bothering me, recover is slow.

Not just muscle pain. They destroy muscle tissue. You will get weaker, and risk torn muscles the longer you take them.

i read that title wrong. i thought it said stalin lol

They also cause diabetes.

I'm sorry but a new law makes it illegal to question or denigrate big pharma, I'm required to pass your info along to the FBI

Unfortunately, I found this out too late.

Well, if I don't I will walk away with the 'script, but will probably not fill it. There are just too many signs to me that I should not take it.

I do think the serrapeptase and changing my diet and walking are going to help a great deal, and I can try it my way for say three months, get my cholesterol levels checked again, and then go forward from there.

Thank you so much for this thread, lovey....

I was on Lipitor from the advice of three doctors. All told me how dangerous my condition was. I read up on the dangers of the drug. They far out weighed the plus. I threw them in the garbage and have not looked back. That was over 8 years ago. Shouldn't I be dead by now? Doctors are nothing but PIMPS. I do not take ANY medications. I am 64 and feel great.

Your not serious, are You..? Linky, Stinky...

I did start taking Turmeric when I quit the statins.

Baby Boomers keep pharma afloat.
