Thank you for posting that. It confirms all I've been saying for many years. I wish that all those that think statins are necessary could watch this film, it could save them a lot of misery. It really is a scandel!

Hugs, Grey

We could get the message across if we all put it on Facebook :-)

Thanks Suze,

If only the folks that need to know about this would listen.... how statistics etc are incorrectly reported, I think this ties in with the Oiling of America and Framington heart study.

But of course it will just probably been seen as just another 'alternative theory', for now anyway - thanks for making folks aware.... :D

Brilliant! Everyone should watch this. Dr.Kendrick's book "The Great Cholesterol Con" said it all and now there are so many others saying the same thing. Trouble is "Big Pharma" don't want to know.

Thanks for putting this up Suze. Now I've got to get my husband to watch it...I've been nagging him for years but he just keeps moaning about aches, pains and memory loss. Perhaps he'll believe this....fingers crossed!.

When/if he stops taking them he will feel the improvements for a while, my friend (who ignored me when I told her not to take statins) could no longer get in and out of the bath or trim her toe nails! since stopping taking them she feels 10 years younger!

Thank you for posting this film. My cholesterol has gradually gone up to 7.9 as my thyroxine has been reduced and I'm should take a statin which my Dr. tried to prescribes for me. I don't even order it with my repeats now and even though I get a telling off on the rare occasion I see the nurse, this has just confirmed that I am right not to take them. :)

My cholesterol level has always been ok (about the only test that has) We all know so many people who take them, who will they listen to? their doctor or a friend? their doctor of course!

Thank you for this information. I am due to see my GP next week regarding

TSH levels and High Cholesterol. The practice I attend are always trying to get me on Statins

but I keep saying no and will continue to do so. I would prefer them to do my T3 etc.

Good point Hazdaz, they could spend the money on testing free t3 and free t4!

Just to make sure I have always got this little gem to hand I have forked out and bought the

DVD. It costs £15 but I am sure worth it.

Oh right, I didn't know that you could buy it - may be worth it, especially when we see it on Panorama, Despatches or whatever !!

Wow I'm really worried and confused now! Why didn't the NHS a d the British heart fondation make a comment? I take Simvisatan. I don't want a premature heart attack.
