We have discussed alternative medications in the past. My wife who is 58 has been trying to not be placed on statin drugs for high cholestorol. Her physician is now scaring her as her levels are over double what he wants them to be. Some of what I have read personally state that cholestorol is needed to ward off alzeheimers. One of her great aunts had alzeheimers and we suspected her sister my wifes grandmother as being undiagnosed. My wife is resonably inclined to stay away for statin drugs but we are also equally scared of her numbers.

I’m so sorry 😞
Thanks, fren. This all happened before I became an anon and found out about statins. I wish I'd have known sooner.
I hear you.. I didn’t even know until recently when Covid happened just how bad the lies were. My mom started taking statins 2 years ago and started acting real dramatic and highly emotional and temperamental. We stopped her a few months later after showing her all the side effects of the drug and made her change her diet. I’m sorry it was too late for many especially pre-Covid times or back then 90s, 2000s, nobody knew we all kinda just went along with what doctors say.
Never again will I take anything a doctor says at face value. Question everything.
Yep. And did you ever notice when one goes to the doctor, the doctor never asked what's your diet like? Like one time my dad had tummyache, went to the doctor, and instead of asking what was the last thing he ate, doctor started saying he needed MRI, Xray, etc I told my dad to get the heck out of there quick.. he left and is fine. Thank God.
