Thank you for shining a much needed light on the health horror of statins. I have zero education in anything medical, but I have antidotal evidence. Several older people I have line danced with for years seem to develop memory impairment once they are put on statins. These are folks who use to know the steps to dozens and dozens of line dances effortlessly, but now struggle to put the steps together.

It’s a real thing that gets swept under the rug because it’s both big business and deep dogma about cholesterol. A very dangerous combination! I’m glad you are continuing to notice things!

"Profits over people" has been the hallmark and the business model for western medicine (allopathy) since its inception. Thanks to Andrew Carnegie (now considered to be a great philanthropist and humanitarian) and his affiliation with the early and once foundering AMA, new modalities that included "the cure is worse than the disease" took hold and eventually overtook the homeopaths who actually did some good for society. In later years the AMA took on and nearly destroyed chiropractic. Western medicine is like a virus that has invaded society and just won't die because there is too much money in it. Alas, but thanks for your diligent insights.

Rockefeller and Carnegie both essentially dubbed themselves philanthropists. Similar to Gates today. Money buys the press and people still believe the lies the TV tells them.

I have never taken a statin that didn't hurt me. Horrible leg cramps. My doctor still shakes his head every time I see him, telling me I really need a statin. Well, no thanks.

They are amazing at one track minded thinking. They just aren't trained to critically think or think for themselves. I see it all too often!
