Statin drugs are very much on my mind.
Statins really concern me, because the most common adverse effects involve the heart (cardiotoxic), muscles (myotoxic), and brain (neurotoxic).
(i refuse to say “side effects” because that just means terrible toxic effects pharma and government know about but don’t want you to see.)
As it is, our global culture is plagued by physical pain, heart strain, and neurodegenerative disease; and our patients have such convoluted histories these days. It can be hard to separate their symptoms from their drugs. People are on so many medications, often for years if not life; and i have come to suspect that the unwanted effects of and interactions between their prescribed drugs actually cause the frustrating symptoms they suffer without recourse.
Do we really need drugs that blatantly cause the diseases they claim to solve?
And will we continue accepting this demented ethic as our fate???
i don’t trust statins.
Full of questions and patient concerns, i began my own statin research in earnest this week, only to have my worst nightmares confirmed.
The first place i always go to find clinical research and draw my own conclusions is Green Med Info, with their Pub Med data base of peer-reviewed published research on pharmaceuticals, pathologies, and herbal compounds useful for making drugs. Well over 10,000 clinical studies are catalogued on the Green Med Info site.
According to Sayer Ji of Green Med Info:|
A growing body of clinical research now indicates that the cholesterol-lowering class of drugs known as statins, are associated with over 300 adverse health effects -- research boldly flying in the face of national health policy, medical insurance premium guidelines, statin drug manufacturer advertising claims, and the general sentiment of the public, with approximately 1 in every 4 adult Americans over 45 currently using these drugs to "prevent heart disease."
i searched “DANGERS OF STATINS” and hundreds of articles came up!
https://greenmedinfo.com/search/google-cse#gsc.q=statins%20-%20side%20effects
Then i looked for “STATIN INDUCED PATHOLOGIES” and lo and behold:
https://greenmedinfo.com/disease/statin-induced-pathologies
Then, i went to youtube and watched and rewatched video after video concurring the endless litany of damaging effects of statins.
Here’s a well curated glimpse of some shorter, less technical talks:
Dr Paul Mason:

Dr Aseem Malhotra:

(12 min)
Prominent research concludes:
Statins are cardiotoxic; myotoxic; neurotoxic; and enormously dysregulating to human and animal physiology.
The proliferation of heart complaints like palpitations and strokes; muscle pain, weakness, and hyper-sensitization of nerves; pressure in the brain; memory loss; rapid onset diabetes, cancers, cataracts leading to blindness; and multiple other woes, ARE ALL POSITIVELY LINKED TO STATINS.
Like everything else today, nobody can really talk about this without being sidelined, silenced, and shamed. Pharma’s in everyone’s pockets and holding a short spiky leash. Very spiky.
Quoting Green Med Info again:
“Fundamentally, statin drugs damage the muscles and nerves in the body -- so much so that a dose as low as 5 mg a day (albeit in rare cases) can kill a human. There are well over 100 studies demonstrating the myotoxic, or muscle-harming effects of these drugs, and over 80 demonstrating the effects of nerve damage, as well.”
Moreover, statin myotoxicity is not exclusive to skeletal muscle…consider that the heart is also a muscle…
and i cite:
“the Journal of Clinical Cardiology in Dec. 2009, showing that statin drugs, despite billions of advertising/marketing dollars to the contrary, actually weaken the heart muscle.”
Because statin drugs appear to shred epithelial tissue - membranes, sinuses, arteries, and veins, until people are willing to consider the cholesterol myth, the dangers of pharmaceuticals, and lifestyle remedies for rebuilding broken parts, i tread lightly, once again advocating membrane repair. Nitric Oxide, covered in a prior stack, is high on my list as a simple, single solution. And did you know Turmeric is a clinically proven atherosclerotic as well? (stay tuned for more on this soon!) These are only two suggestions; and there are countless other life-saving solutions in the kitchen & garden pharmacy - solutions that, above all, will do no harm.
PRIMUM NON NOCERE
Do we recall that oath doctors are supposed to take but are well paid now to forget?
PRIMUM NON NOCERE
“As an important step in becoming a doctor, medical students must take the Hippocratic Oath. And one of the promises within that oath is "first, do no harm"
(or "primum non nocere," the Latin translation from the original Greek.)
Yet even in the revised version, i could find no reference to condoning murder by drug poisoning. (It must be in the find print on page 8 million and ten)
So in closing, i invite you to consider some law terms that aptly apply to the cauldron in which we stew…
Can we really believe they don’t know???
FRAUD : intentional deception with the purpose of financial gain.
In law, fraud is intentional deception to secure unfair or unlawful gain, or to deprive a victim of a legal right. Fraud can violate civil law (e.g., a fraud victim may sue the fraud perpetrator to avoid the fraud or recover monetary compensation) or criminal law (e.g., a fraud perpetrator may be prosecuted and imprisoned by governmental authorities), or it may cause no loss of money, property, or legal right but still be an element of another civil or criminal wrong.
?like promoting lethal pharmaceuticals as safe and effective?
MONEY LAUNDERING: the process of illegally concealing the origin of money, obtained from illicit activities such as drug trafficking, corruption, embezzlement or gambling, by converting it into a legitimate source. It is a crime in many jurisdictions with varying definitions.Wikipedia
?like drug trafficking by organized crime/big pharma?
PERJURY: the intentional act of swearing a false oath or falsifying an affirmation to tell the truth, whether spoken or in writing, concerning matters material to an official proceeding. Like most other crimes in the common law system, to be convicted of perjury one must have had the intention to commit the act and to have actually committed the act.
? like lying about the dangers of drugs while profiting madly on the medical crises they create?
COLLUSION: an often secret action taken by two or more parties to achieve an illegal or improper purpose.
Secret agreement for a fraudulent or harmful purpose; a secret or crafty understanding for unworthy purposes.
Specifically, in law, a secret understanding between two or more persons to act or proceed as if adversely or at. variance with, or in apparent defiance of, one another's rights, in order to prejudice a third person or to obtain a remedy which could not as well be obtained by open concurrence.
?like us having no chance for informed consent because of drug company misinformation and the rich mob promulgating it? ?like promoting a silent global genocide? Collusion at its best!
FELONY: a wicked, foul, or treacherous act; wickedness.
Felony is the classification of the most serious types of crimes. Covering a wide range of criminal acts, felonies often involve crimes involving physical harm, or large scale theft and fraud.
MISREPRESENTATION: an intentionally or sometimes negligently false representation made verbally, by conduct, or sometimes by nondisclosure or concealment and often for the purpose of deceiving, defrauding, or causing another to rely on it detrimentally
also : an act or instance of making such a representation
?like our alphabet soup corporations pretending to be real Americans when they are British corporate thugs? ?like drug company and media propaganda mashing our bodies and brains to death?

Yes, I began looking into this recently when a friend with Parkinson's stopped taking statins and her symptoms got a lot better, especially disabling muscle pain. I did a search and found several acticles that says statins make parkinson's worse [plus some pharma funded one which said they are also a miracle cure for parkinson's!]
