How to Determine if You Really Need a Statin.
Here's what you have to remember if your standard cholesterol numbers are "high" and your doctor tells you to take a statin: Don't do it! Ask your doctor to follow up with one of the new tests that clarifies your individual cholesterol fractions.

Statins, CoQ10, and Carnitine - What Doctors Don't Tell Patients
Statins deplete CoQ10, a critical raw material in cellular energy, and a major antioxidant. This singular depletion accounts for a good deal of the side effects of statin drugs. Along those same lines I also encouraged patients to supplement routinely with carnitine. This amino acid, one of my top five supplements, produces a jackpot of cardiac, muscle, energy, and anti-aging benefits. Statins, CoQ10, and Carnitine - What Doctors Don't Tell Patients
From Cholesterol Choirboy to Non-Believer
Like Dr. Graveline, I have been reporting on the dangers of cholesterol-lowering statin drugs for years. In my clinical practice I weaned many new patients off statins who had no business being on them in the first place.

| The Dark Side of Statins: e-Book by Dr Duane Graveline, M.D. | |
 All three of my previous statin books are now available in e-Book versions plus my latest book The Dark Side of Statins which is available in e-Book only for now.
e-Books offer a lower cost way to get the same information as in the print versions, allow readers from all over the world instant access, and now you do not even need an electronic bookreader as these versions can be read on any device like smart phones, tablet computers, laptops and desktops.
The Dark Side of Statins
Try to imagine a drug possessing the ability to cause DNA mutations using the same mechanisms that have evolved for natural aging. When confronted with a patient experiencing weakness and unsteadiness, muscle aches and pains, memory loss and depression, the quite natural response from most doctors is, "You have to expect this kind of thing now; you are over 50".
Most doctors do not have a clue as to the truth. It is not natural aging that has depleted you so. This is premature aging - aging in months according to many statin victims - and this entire complex of symptoms from a drug so safe that many doctors feel it should be put in the drinking water.
The class of drugs is called statins, simple reductase inhibitors capable not only of lowering cholesterol but also CoQ10 and dolichols as well, leading directly to mitochondrial damage and mutation. No, this is not impossible. It is happening today to thousands of us.
