[QUOTE="Parajack, post: 124700, member: 16992"] I’ve been fighting off Statins for several years now. I’m more or less my own advocate on the health front but still a slave to the FAA and my flight surgeon twice a year. I’ve had high total and LDL-C for most of my adult life (62). I was very healthy until I wasn’t and became quite sickly about 5 years ago. A few years ago I was eating super clean with no meat or dairy. All real whole food, greens/veggies, organic, often raw. Vitamix rarely cooled off. My blood work was unchanged and still numbers were high. Then I had the Boston Heart eval done and more of the same. Healthiest scores on all of the inflammatory markers and all of it except the Lipid section where of course I was at strong risk of CHD and it was strongly recommended that I start taking statins. After years of chasing this around I’ve come to my own conclusion. Why in the world would anyone start messing with one of the most critical systems in the body - the endocrine system? It’s hard enough to achieve and maintain optimal health without being ‘drug’ down by dangerous drugs for the long term. The other thing I’ve learned is that you can have a far and away greater impact on your health without drugs just by paying attention to what you feed your body... it’s not rocket science. [/QUOTE]
