Why statins are such a bad idea When NASA astronaut Dr. Duane Graveline had a heart attack he was prescribed the statin Lipitor (atorvastatin) to reduce the risk of recurrence. Six weeks after going onto the drug he lost a chunk of his memory for six hours. During that time he recognised neither his wife nor his house. On recovering, Duane immediately took himself off Lipitor but was persuaded to give it a second chance a year later. This time it took twelve weeks before an attack of transient global amnesia (TGA) wiped out everything since early childhood for twelve hours. There are now hundreds of examples of statins causing TGA. What would happen if, say, an airline pilot, a bus driver or a surgeon had an attack? Dr Gupta says there is no proof it lets you live longer. Why in 2013 is this still happening.? I thankfully dont fit the criteria to put my my lifes memories at risk, that might be all I have in the end, what a shame to miss out on all lifes reflecting. What companies stock makes them, as thats the way to get rich. FYI
