1/ Seriously I need to take a break from Twitter. The more I see (Statin Damage), the more I realise the impact on my own health. Frustration, Stress, etc. These are unintended consequences of Statin Drugs, and I really need to cut off for a while, but before I go ⬇️

2/ Statins forum AGAIN ! "In Dec 2015 my doc finally WON & I agreed to Statins for my 250 cholesterol level. He put me on 20mg of Lipitor. After a week I called the pharmacist because I was having muscle weakness and my bones ached at night. Went off it for a week and was fine
/3
3/ He then switched me to 40mg Pravastatin. Was on that until Oct 2020 when my ALS symptoms were happening. Earlier in Jan 2020 I had the stomach flu, then in Feb I got the first shingles shot. Shortly after hurt my back lifting weights so took it easy for a few months.
/4
4/ Then in April started working from home full time (COVID). May came down with plantar faciitus on my left foot. Then June 15th got 2nd shingle shot which hit me hard. Fever, flu like symptoms for a few days. July/Aug started feeling strange, muscle weakness,

5/
5/ fatigue, tightness & pressure across top of head like having headphones on my head all the time. Then fasciculations started in Sept with foot drop in Oct after plantar faciitus subsided. Diagnosed with ALS Jan 2021.

Yes you read that right ALS/Motor Neurone Disease.

6/ This makes me so sad, I really can't even express what I'm feeling. One thing is certain, I need a break. I'll leave you with this
“Despite my apparent joviality, I am deadly serious in my belief that the misguided war against Cholesterol using Statins, represents

7/ something very close to a crime against humanity. So very close that you may not be able to spot the difference - Dr. Malcolm Kendrick

1/ It is my belief that infectious agents are primarily responsible for Heart Disease. Endocarditis is a rare & potentially fatal infection of the inner lining of the heart (the endocardium). It's most commonly caused by bacteria entering the blood & travelling to the heart.

/2
2/ The bacteria that infect the gums and cause gingivitis and periodontitis also travel to blood vessels elsewhere in the body where they cause Atherosclerosis, blood vessel inflammation and damage; tiny blood clots, heart attack and stroke may follow.

/3
3/ Supporting this idea is the finding of remnants of oral bacteria within Atherosclerotic blood vessels far from the mouth. Then again, antibiotic treatment has not proven effective at reducing cardiovascular risk.

1/ Many of you know me because of my stance on Statin drugs. I have spent many hours over the past 14 years talking to Statin 'victims', trying to find out how they can recover from this drug, and how the drug has destroyed their health - NEEDLESSLY

/2
2/ This lengthy tweet is worth the effort, if it stops just one person going down the Statin route. It is from a dear friend that I got to know while I was on the FB Statins forum. He was 26 years old when prescribed the drug.

3/This is his story: " 19 Years ago yesterday, Oct 11, 2002, I was admitted to UW Madison Hospital in an End-Stage Alzheimer's like state, I could not walk, could not speak coherently, could not feed myself, nor communicate the need to use the restroom, so I wet and soiled

1/ Cancer researchers across the world in the last couple of years have found numerous connections between deworming drugs and the decline of cancerous tissue. In 2017, Norwegian scientists found that NTZ, a common anti-parasite drug, killed cancer cells

2/ by decomposing activated beta-catenin. Professor Karl-Henning Kalland of the University of Bergen and leader of the research team who discovered this phenomenon stated, “We discovered that this specific substance is blocking the signaling pathway in the cancer cells…

3/ It is not often that researchers discover a substance that targets specific molecules as precisely as this one,” (“Parasite Killer Too Found to Be Effective Cancer Treatment Candidate,” 2018). Additionally, Kalland’s team discovered that reducing beta-catenin enhanced the

1/ YAY Thank goodness for sanity. Statins forum today " Stopped my statins 18 months ago, after having taken them for 28 years. Aside from the constant muscle pains and memory loss, spasms, cataracts, arythmia, etc what finally prompted me to quit is elevated liver enzymes
/2
2/ and the beginnings of kidney problems. My course of action was to cleanse my body from Statins, get my liver in good shape and get a CAC score to see if I do have an actual problem with heart disease despite my elevated Cholesterol.

/3
3/ After all, that's the reason Docs tell us we should be taking Statins in the first place. I got news today that my CAC score is 0.8, heart echo & carotid doppler are perfectly normal. This puts me at a 2.3% risk of a coronary event over 10 years, without Statins!

1/ "As always the results of Statin therapy are, to say the least, dramatic.

"In patients with heterozygous FH, moderate- to high-intensity statin therapy lowered the risk for CAD and mortality by 44%".

Wow. But why the need for a composite end point?

/2
2/ If we leave aside soft end points which include coronary re-vascularisation (never influenced by serum lipid levels. No laughing at the back there!) and concentrate on the hard end point of all cause mortality we end up with, for non statinated people:

/3
3/ 9 deaths per 4,892 person-years, which I make 1.8 deaths per 1000 person-years.

On a statin we have 17 deaths per 11,674 person-years, 1.5 per 1000 person-years.

That looks like a reduction in mortality of 0.3 people per 1000 person-years.

1/ Reasons why I don't trust Docs or pharma drugs:
Me age 30, diagnosed with severe Osteoporosis after a bone scan. Nurse told me I had the bones of a 70 yr old. They put me on Bisphosphonates. I researched

/2
2/ these drugs, and realised that they caused necrosis of the jaw, stomach irritation etc. Sooo I decided to do some more research, and what did I find ? Low and behold, Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 (MK7) puts calcium where it meant to be, in the BONES not the ARTERIES.
/3
3/ I never looked back. I've had falls from climbing, hard falls, & never broken a bone,. However a friend who has taken Bisphosphonates for the past 2 years recently had an accident. A minor fall from a restaurant stool, which resulted in a very complex break requiring
