I was on a low dose and it caused bad cramps.
now the aha and lots of cardiologist are saying that after extensive research lipids have pretty much no impact on heart disease and cardiovascular events. not completely ignoring lipids but they now say that it isnt as important as once thought and top that off with the honest cardio docs saying that statins and their use is completely financial in nature. when looking at statistics over something like 20 or 30 years (off top of my head) the relation between those with high lipid values and not taking statins and those that did. both groups had the same amount of heart disease and cardiac events. doc serano and a bunch of others are sounding the alarm on not using statins at all period. that and lipids are not a good indicator of heart risk. they now use apob and insulin tests and a couple others i cant remember for more accurate predictors for risks.Quote:

Yes, these doctors who are putting all their patients on statins are probably pushing covvvid vacxicnes too. And for the same reason $$$$$. If we learned anything from the pandemic its that the majority of MDs are completely full of shit and are working for big pharma.
it's a huge crock of shit man. doc i used to see that was a complete moron tried to put me on statins because my lipids got out of check. i told her give me 60 days and i will have them perfect. boom better than her's with no statins.Quote:

Im not sure how much big pharma makes on statins, but its somewhere around 50 billion + a year if irc. Its a huge f****ing scam
what makes it even more fucked up with statins is that once you start taking them you have to take them in some form for life. it is kind of like test shutting you down when you use it but with statins it messes with your bodies ability to properly clear lipids once you start. their is no coming back with statins like hormones though. the docs fail to mention that. same with hair loss dht blockers. they fail to let people know that it can make mr happy never work again and it doesnt come back. even if it is a 1-1k chance, i still want to know that it is possible personally since that's kind of a huge issue to meQuote:
