Diabetes?
I am on warfarin,
statins
, allopurinol and omeprazole and have had 5 courses of antibiotics over the last 6 months as Dr originally thought it might be UTI then they thought possibly urethritis.

CholBiome reduces Cholesterol
I had a reading of over 6 and I’m allergic to
statins
. My doctor put me on Ezetimebe which brought it down to 6. Then I found out about Cholbiome which can only be described as a food supplement as it hasn’t gone through medical trials yet.

Anti-Androgen Abiraterone Acetate Improves the Therapeutic Efficacy of Statins on Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Cells.
Importantly, in combination treatments,
statins
specifically enhanced growth suppression with added effects by anti-androgen abiraterone acetate on the CR PCa cells. Thus,
statins
can be used in conjunction with abiraterone acetate to enhance anti-androgen therapy for CR PCa."

A possibly interesting publication revealing 10-fold increase in inflammatory molecule in microvascular angina patients.
Presumably other
statins
will do so. (https://www.nature.com/articles/nature01158) - 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 (https://jlb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jlb.65.5.543).

Someone, please, push me off the couch!!!
Dr said go on
statins
now. I refused Rx so was given 6 months to make a change. Running was one of my goals along with weight management. I've dropped 2 dress sizes but I'm still freightened to run. Yesterday I finally broke down and purchased a few jogging outfits and some trainers.

Cholesterol
Following blood tests my GP has advised that I start
statins
. However, I have reviewed my diet and reduced the consumption of a number of fatty foods (50%). So I plan to not start the
statins
until I have another blood test. How long should I leave it before requesting another blood test?

Statins and Nerve Damage (Peripheral Neuropathy): An Overlooked Side Effect!
Most clinicians also acknowledge that
statins
are also linked to type 2 diabetes. There is far less agreement about
statins
and nerve damage (aka peripheral neuropathy or polyneuropathy).

And I mean I no longer use my inhalers, I no longer take
statins
, my snoring has all but stopped, my sleep apnea is gone, and my legs have stopped trembling and I am no longer kicking out and injuring myself at night.

New research finds an elevated risk of type 2 diabetes among people who take statins in an effort to lower their cholesterol levels.
Among
statins
' unwanted effects may be an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, new research suggests. Many people take
statins
to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as coronary heart disease and heart attacks.

I don’t want to take
statins
, I tried them once years ago and within a couple of weeks I could barely walk and was SO depressed, besides I eat half a grapefruit every day and I don’t really want to have to stop that.

A good example is the negativity against
statins
. Whilst I will agree they have been over prescribed mainly for healthy middle aged and above people with no real cholesterol problem they have many benefits.
