any health care professional will tell you: do not to stop any cholesterol-lowering drug abruptly (because cholesterol levels may rebound dangerously). if anything, they will taper it slowly

At 75 my father was pretty healthy. He was strong and had no arthritis, was mentally sharp and independent. At a checkup Dr said he had plaque in one of his arteries (from what I saw it never really bothered him). From the time he started taking statins until his death his body and mind fell apart, he died of a hemorrhaging stroke at 79. Before he died he was on oxygen, had amnesia, muscle wasting to name a few. I really wish I would have known statin side effects when he started that poison.

My husband had a stint put in Nov 2008 and was put on Lipitor and Plavix. He did a 180 degree turn on his lifestyle, lost 65 pounds, does cardio exercise daily and eats right. Now his cholesterol is 78 TOTAL. His cardiologist still doesn’t want to take him off the Lipitor. You have a right to make a choice for yourself.

My Mom and dad are taking statins prescribed by their doctor.
This was done WITHOUT trying improved diet first.
Someone making money?

@bluediver2 my cholesterol level is 265 and that dosn’t scare me since I know it is my liver, but I take fish oil and eat fish like Eskimos in Greenland who have high cholesterol but eat a lot of fish FAT so NO Heart Disease in them compared to Americans!

He makes some good points but taking care of yourself is not always as easy as it may seem. I suffer with depression and sometimes find it hard getting out of bed in the morning, let alone exercising

He seems to really care about us comparing to some of those who are only promoting, selling & testing their drugs out on us.
March 9th, 2010 at 4:55 pm
He has good common sense I bet he would know this without any certication

I worry alot about the potential side effects of “big pharma” prescription drugs, I have always gravitated toward a natural alternative. For the longest time I had no idea that such an alternative even existed for cholesterol! I thought Rx was the only choice. Sterolyn is brilliant no side effects at all for me. I really appreciate this product.

PART 2
Recently statins benefit was found to be due to it’s anti inflammatory property quite modest though, on par with aspirin. Omega 3 long chain fatty acid outperforms stains by a long shot. Natural dietary and supplements of anti inflammatories and antioxidants minimize LDL oxidation as well as inflammation. Only oxidized LDL will become part of plaques but only part.

PART 1
This video is a huge step towards the full story about stains and vascular disease. I wish to add: the many form of initial injury (cholesterol is not one of them) that provokes inflammation that sets in motion the cascade of events ending in atherosclerosis. .

Remember the word balance when you do exercise because there is such a thing as too much exercise. That’s the complexity of this amazing machine the human body that we’ve all inherited. Balance is key… too much water, too much exercise, too much food definitely a no go.

Statins do lower cholestrol, but they raise a lot of people’s liver enzymes. Not enought to cause damage but that’s what happens in most cases. I understand that some people are gentically predisposed to getting high cholestrol what happened to exercise and eating healthy. people now days just want to pop a pill and not have to work for the resluts. I lowered my cholestrol 45 points from exercising and eating right daily. It took me 8 mths but i got it down w/out any drugs.

Funny thing, though, is that she acknowledged that my LDL and triglyceride levels were okay, but it was the HDL of 24 which was concerning her. I wonder if there are specific dietary or exercise regimens I can start to raise my HDL without drugs.

Yeah, I am starting to look into the effects of statins drugs because I recently started taking one. It is part of a triad of health problems I was diagnosed with: hypertension, Type 11 Diabetes, and low HDL levels. At the time, I didn’t think too much about being prescribed a statin (pravastatin) because I was in pain from the diabetes and and if the doctor said I had a cholesterol problem I took her at her word.

I’ve been on Lipitor, then switched to simivastatin. I have had serious digestive problems and leg pain since taking them — about 6 months. I’m a little worried about stopping because my doc told me it can be dangerous to stop…and would be a lifelong medication. I am just going to taper down and quit. I’m making the best lifestyle changes that I can — stop smoking, exercise, eating mediterranean type diet, and EXERCISE some more.

Yes, he did talk about HDL and LDL, at about 2:25.
