Why not use statins?
"Although some neurologic adverse effects have been reportedly associated with statin use, the medications may have therapeutic potential in patients with stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and primary brain tumors."
Another repurposed drug that didn't bring home the bacon
I guess it is because the world is divided into two types of people. Those that can take statins and those that can not . Some people like me are allurgic. We take the drugs for about 30 days and slowly our muscles start to hurt and by about 45 days the pain is increadable so we stop taking it. Here is the kicker: it takes 45 days to wear off complete with pain, and by the end of that 45 days you have sworn to never take statin again.
Medical Definition of hormesis
: a theoretical phenomenon of dose-response relationships in which something (as a heavy metal or ionizing radiation) that produces harmful biological effects at moderate to high doses may produce beneficial effects at low doses
Others argue that tiny doses of radiation are not harmful. Some scientists even claim that low doses, by stimulating DNA repair, make you healthier—an effect known as hormesis.
A Survey of the FDA's AERS Database Regarding Muscle and Tendon Adverse Events Linked to the Statin Drug Class

"Accordingly, side effects, including a range of muscle and tendon disorders extending from myalgia to life-threatening rhabdomyolysis, became evident primarily after the drugs won FDA approval. (For a review of suspected adverse events across the statin drug class, risk factors, and potential drug interactions that raise risk of statin myopathy, see Golomb and Evans, 2008 [7].) Exemplifying this, the elevated occurrence of rhabdomyolysis with cerivastatin (Baycol) [8] culminated in numerous deaths and the withdrawal of cerivastatin from the market. More recently, the FDA announced new safety recommendations for high dose simvastatin, citing an “increased risk of myopathy when using the 80 mg dose of simvastatin.” This warning was issued only after many years of clinical use of simvastatin, indeed among the best-selling prescription drugs, and five years after its loss of patent protection. "
Hormesis does not work too well if the patient dies first.
Yes you are correct, there have been many substantiated examples of people observed over many years that were found living closely with low radiation that were expected to suffer from it that instead as a group lived long remarkable healthy lives .
I remember the x-ray machine that sat outside the shoe store that you could use to see your foot bones inside the shoe. I tried it probably 6 or 8 times as a young boy and did not suffer ill affect to my knowledge. Probably more radiation in one shot than I would get in a life time if born now.
But statins, I will leave for someone else. and good luck to them.
