Thank You
Thank you so much for sharing this. My girlfriend's dad has just come out of hospital after a heart attack. He has had atherosclerosis for a few years now and has been on statins even longer. I have known that statins were really nasty for quite sometime and had convinced him to at least ask his doctor for a prescription for Co-Q10 which he still takes. We were visiting him on Sunday and I was wondering if the statins could be causing the problem but had nothing to back up my suspicions. I have just sent him this link as it was just the information I was after. I am pleased to say that he is doing well, but of course since leaving the hospital they have put him on even more really nasty medication and if he goes outside he now has to wear a hat and high factor sunblock (yet more nasty chemicals!). I love syncronicity, this was perfectly timed.
Thanks for sharing!
