Your Brain on Statins

I just finished a very interesting book by Dr. Graveline, MD, titled Lipitor: Thief of Memory.

It appears, from his book, that Lipitor may cause transient global amnesia.  Here are a few of the other problems that he associates with Liptor (a statin) use:

•  Personality changes / mood disorders
• Muscle problems, polyneuropathy (nerve damage in the hands and feet), and rhabdomyolysis (a serious degenerative muscle tissue condition)
• Sexual dysfunction
• Immune suppression
• Pancreas or liver dysfunction, including a potential increase in liver enzymes
• Cataracts

And, according to Dr. Graveline, a form of Lou Gehrig's disease or ALS may also be a side effect.

If you want to know what to do about it then I highly recommend that you read the book, you can find it on Amazon.  You also might want to read up on CoQ10 and ubiquinol.
