My husband has been on cholesterol statin tablets for at least 8 years

Will an overpriced drug really
fix your leaky plumbing?
"My husband has been on cholesterol statin tablets for at least 8 years (at the moment simvastatin 20 mg) and we would like to know what you can offer as an alternative to statins. He is 67 yrs weighs 80 kgs, non smoker, very healthy and physically fit for his age and the only other medication he is on is Doxazosin MES 2 mg for bladder. We are healthy eaters.

I have researched alternatives to statins but really need qualified guidance and whether you can supply anything."

I am afraid I do not have anything positive to say about statins which I think are horrible drugs.  Statins do untold damage to the body that is often first felt as joint and muscle pain and fatigue.  The pain may get to the point of being unbearable.  These symptoms can creep up on a person over several years and usually discounted as being due to arthritis or fibromyalgia/polymyalgia and getting old.
