 Dr. Duane Graveline's Final TV Interview

Dr. Graveline's final TV interview was recorded back in August 2009 as part of the Inside Medicine series by Dr. Tom Meade M.D.
 
Dr. Meade is an orthopedic surgeon who also interviews guests for his television show.

Dr Graveline appears in a two part interview ( 1 hour total ).
The title of the show was "Myths on Cholesterol".

Parts one and two are at the same link:
 
Statins Work by Anti-Inflammation Now?
 
Atherosclerosis many now believe, is really an inflammatory response. Multiple triggers to this inflammatory process are involved including transfats, smoking, hidden infections and homocysteine elevation but not cholesterol. 

Statins were designed specifically to inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol. Naturally when at the beginning of their use cholesterol levels went down, we assumed any benefit observed to be due to cholesterol reduction when all the time it was apparently inflammation reduction.

"The Statin Damage Crisis" by Dr. Duane Graveline MD

BooksDr Graveline's third book on statins called "The Statin Damage Crisis" is now available.
 
Originally planned as a new edition to "Statin Drugs Side Effects," it has been released as a stand alone title so that the highly relevant material in "SDSE" will still be available.

Dr Graveline wrote the following introduction to this latest title:
 
Early on my NASA doctors told me my amnesia response to statins was nothing but a coincidence but I persevered to write my first book, "Lipitor, Thief of Memory" and now find that over 1,000 cases of amnesia and memory loss have been reported to the FDA, just from Lipitor alone.
 
Then I learned of statin damage to nerves and muscles and profound behavioral and personality changes, demanding I write a second book, "Statin Drugs Side Effects." Even this broadly encompassing book was insufficient to describe what I have learned more recently of the truly dark side of statins - their ability to alter the very fabric of our makeup.
 
I had long wondered why muscle and nerve damage seemed permanent and even progressive like my own ALS-like condition. Now I have found that the ultimate effect of statins on CoQ10 and dolichols is to damage the DNA of the mitochondrial life - force within our cells - mitochondrial mutation masquerading as premature old age.
