1/4 All cells, not just liver and intestinal cells as once thought, make cholesterol from mevalonate. Statins first work on intestine and liver cells, eventually this drug passes through the entire body affecting every cell type.

(contd)
2/4 Statins even cross the blood-brain barrier and enter the central nervous system where they damage the brain and spinal chord. Most of the early ADRs are due to intestinal problems and elevated liver enzymes. Common ADRs also include muscle pain (myopathy) and weakness +
3/4 nerve/brain related cognition problems, memory loss, personality changes and tremors.

Because many statin users are older, their aches and pains are attributed to the ageing process instead of statin injuries. The physicians are correct.
4/4 Because statins block the rejuvenating cell cycle, they accelerate the ageing and death process.

Statin ADR's are a direct effect of blocking mevalonate.
Forget lowering cholesterol. Lower insulin and look at making dietary changes to protect your health.

1/5 Rather than stop their use altogether, the modality of the health profession is to simply change statins when dangerous symptoms are reported. The most common and immediate statin use 'side effect' is muscle soreness and pain.
2/5 It is inevitable that everyone taking statins long term will develop one or more of these direct effects of statin use. Despite all the hype of the drug company-engineered study results on the so-called benefits of statins, the hard truth, the hard science proves otherwise
3/5 Other effects of statin use are too many to list but here are just a few:

Arthritis, Rhabdomyolysis, Type 2 Diabetes, Renal failure, Myopathy, Cardiomyopathy, Cancer, MS, ALS, Lupus, Parkinson's disease, Heart failure

1/5 ALS is a particularly cruel disease, robbing its victims of the use of their muscles and of everything they control i.e. walking, speaking, eating and even breath itself.
ALS is on the increase - about 100 Americans are diagnosed with the disease each week.

(contd)
2/5 The WHO Foundation Collaborating Centre has received many individual case safety reports associating Statin use with the occurrence of muscle damage, including rhabdomyolysis, and also peripheral neuropathy. A new signal has now appeared of disproportionally

(contd)
3/5 high reporting of upper Motor Neurone lesions.

Sadly my uncle died of ALS after only 12 months of 80mg Lipitor. If you have family, friends, or associates who are displaying ALS or Parkinson’s like symptoms, please draw their attention to the fact that statin use

1/6 “The profound and primal cause of obesity will one day be recognizsed to be the use of cereal and starch foods.”
― Emmet Densmore, MD
(Born 1837)

Densmore promoted a meat and fruit diet, which he believed was the natural food of primal man.
2/6 Densmore opposed the consumption of bread, cereal, pulses and vegetables. He believed that all starch foods were not beneficial. Densmore argued that cereals were "unnatural and disease-inducing foods" His recommended diet consisted of meat, fruit, nuts, fish, eggs and milk
3/6 . He believed that the natural life of man should be 120 years. He opposed the use of all drugs and believed that dietetic and natural hygienic measures could cure disease. He advocated fasting as a treatment for illness.

1/7 The pharmaceutical industry have managed to turn a drug, which in the opinion of many experts should never have been approved by the regulatory authorities, into the biggest financial success they have ever enjoyed.
2/7 For the pharmaceutical companies, profit is the driver and health is a secondary issue. They saw in statins the opportunity to produce what is in financial terms the perfect drug. It can be prescribed to a significant percentage of the public who are NOT ill
3/7 but ‘AT RISK’, it does not provide a cure and users must take it for the rest of their lives to benefit from its alleged reduction in cardiovascular disease and strokes.

In a way statins are used like a vaccine and given to many people who are perfectly well

1/10 The statin drug Baycol made by Bayer was recalled in 2001 after a series of statin deaths from kidney failure following rhabdomyolysis (death of muscle fibres, debris from which blocks the kidneys). Bayer boasted that Baycol was THE most POTENT statin on the market.
2/10 They never warned that it was therefore the most potent blocker of cell cycles. The more potent the statin, the faster cell tissues and organs die. Fortunately, the problem was discovered early, otherwise a much larger number of people would have been harmed.
3/10 Bayer paid $8 million in a multi-state settlement to plaintiffs. The statin research scientists were fully aware of the fact that all reductase inhibitors i.e. statins, had those devastating effects on the biochemicals in the mevalonate pathway.

1/4 Endogenous deficiency of glutathione as the most likely cause of serious manifestations & death in patients with COVID-19: A hypothesis:

researchgate.net/publication/34…

(contd)
2/4 Also consider that Glutathione is a tripeptide that plays a role in critical physiological processes, such as redox balance, reduction of oxidative stress, enhancement of metabolic detoxification and regulation of immune system function.
(contd)
3/4 Selenium is a known antioxidant and cofactor of glutathione. Decreased Zinc availability impairs the GSH synthetic pathway in neuronal cells.(Reduced plasma concentrations of both zinc and selenium have been found in COVID-19 patients in the intensive care units).
