Oh dear. Isn’t kasha made of roasted buckwheat? I thought it was safe to eat.

THIS IS A FANTASTIC!!!!! As a therapeutic yoga teacher, for the past 12 years I have been doing my own studies on muscle pain and clients who take statin drugs. There is a definite side effect in some people with sever myopathies..usually in the hip, thigh, and groin area. I had two clients this year who were in so much pain their Dr.’s thought they needed a hip replacement…NOT !!! They are smiling now…off statins … on the yoga mat… Can some-one get this on 60 mins… Love u Frank

Bravo Frank for including this. I have another story about the Medical Industrial complex. A friend went to his doctor for a cholesterol evaluation. He was told he had to go on Lipitor. The friend said No! Is there a natural way to lower the cholesterol? The doctor shut the door of his office and said”If I don’t prescribe Liipitor for you the insurance companies won’t pay for the visit. Then went on to suggest off the record that my friend become a vegetarian ….as close to a vegan as possible. My friend did it….and his cholesterol dropped 100 points. Then his wife did it and the same thing happened. I use red yeast rice and mine also dropped. I take Ubiquinol (the newest kind of Coq2-10 but that is for many things) as well. It’s one of the best supplements one can take of over 50.

The Statin Effects Study, at Univ.of Calif. San Diego has been studying ill effects of statin drugs and if your life, like mine was negatively affected by statins you can join the study online. I kept asking doctors if statins could be the cause of muscle pain, extreme fatique and memory loss, and they kept saying “No”. I learned to be pro-active about my health, within 3 months of getting off statins, I regained muscle strength, energy and cognitive funciton. I also continue to use CoQ10, which Canada mandates for anyone taking statins, as these drugs mess up your energy production at the mitrochondrial level THANK YOU DR. LIPMAN FOR POSTING THIS CRUCIAL INFORMATION!

This is truly excellent. The ordinary layman in the street must not be afraid to question their doctor when asked ot go on any kind of drug, especially a statin.Patients must be aware fo the side effect.s Do their doctors tell them if they want to use the statin drug, it is absolutely non negotiable and that is they have to use COQ10 as well. – no less than 100-120grms per day.
I would prefer a natural lowering cholesterol formulation, but again, you have to know the ingredients of the formulation and what foods or drinks can interact with the natural formulation.
It’s all about doing your homework, that you can go into your doctor’s consulting rooms well informed and do not be afraid to question your doctor.
