The Misguided War on Cholesterol
http://www.spacedoc.net/misguided_war_cholesterol.html

I was recently sent this as a glaring example of 40 years of anti-
cholesterol brainwashing.
An 85 year old woman was prescribed a high dose statin, had liver
problems, and they 1.) Say it was just latent hepatitis, and 2.)
Suggest rechallenge with Statins! *

It really saddens me to read reports of this kind. It violates every
bit of common sense I ever acquired in my 23 years of family practice
and runs antagonistic to everything I have learned in the past seven
years from my own research and experience with statin side effects.

My two episodes of statin associated transient global amnesia in the
year 2000 set my present course of researching the side effects of
this class of drugs. Their potential for harm exceeds even my wildest
expectations and to think how little of the truth has reached today's
doctors.
