Comments for LIPITOR: The Poison That Causes Congestive Heart Failure at http://jaajoe.com , comment 0 to 11 out of 11 comments http://jaajoe.com Tue, 06 Jan 2009 06:09:37 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://jaajoe.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=32#pc_72 My mother took Lipitor for only a short while, then started to feel awful and quit taking it. But I am convinced it hastened the CHF that eventually led to her death. I will NEVER take any pharmacological medicine for cholesterol. I take CoQ10 every day. - GG Wed, 11 Jun 2008 21:28:54 +0100 http://jaajoe.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=32#pc_17 My friend was just murdered by Lipitor. He was 58, and had been taking it for years. He experienced muscle pain and was treated for the flu. Then he couldn't walk. After he developed renal failure they put him on dialysis and d/ced the Lipitor. He died within a week. - Steve Edelman Wed, 26 Mar 2008 16:02:30 +0100 http://jaajoe.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=32#pc_14 My mother took lipitor on and off for two years. She has experienced every side effect imaginable. Her most severe were the swelling of her face and throat and the intense abdominal swelling and bloating. She quit taking the medication over almost two years ago, but still suffers the side effects, mostly abdominal ones. Does anyone know of anything that can help? She has lost over 22 lbs. in the last two years. - s. paxman Sat, 22 Mar 2008 04:03:50 +0100 http://jaajoe.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=32#pc_8 http://www.medicationsense.com/artic...graveline.html Dr. Graveline began his medical odyssey at the famed Walter Reed Army Hospital during the time when America's space pioneers were just beginning to study the medical effects of space flight. After becoming a flight surgeon and participating in that space medical research, Dr. Graveline received international recognition for his research on zero gravity deconditioning, his work as a medical analyst of the Soviet bioastronautics program, and in 1965 for his selection as a scientist astronaut. In May 2001, Dr. Graveline was prescribed Lipitor and subsequently developed a severe case of amnesia. Subsequently, he established his website (www.spacedoc.net) as forum for information about the memory-related reactions linked to statin drugs. Based on his experience and those of others, Dr. Graveline has published a new book, “Lipitor, Thief of Memory, Statin Drugs and the Misguided War On Cholesterol.” This book has added relevance today as recent studies suggest that doctors should prescribe stronger and stronger doses of cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, especially Lipitor, the most prescribed drug in America. http://youtube.com/watch?v=7KD7omFDAKo - nightflight Thu, 06 Mar 2008 07:41:30 +0100 http://jaajoe.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=32#pc_7 I'd say around 75% of my customers at the pharmacy have had BAD side effects from lipitor .. I had at least one DIE from the stuff... most people don't want to take it , but if they have a scumbag for a Dr, they will be scared into taking it, even after feeling like shit & getting all the pain/depressant side effects that supposedly only happen in less than 1% of the people.... even my father, who could drink a can of paint & chase it down w/ a vodka on the rocks, a cigarette & donut, couldn't stay on lipitor longer than a week... (muscle pain was so bad he could hardly walk) ... yet, these side effects are rarely ever 'charted' by Dr's, & even if so, nobody is paying attention unless they end up at the poison control databanks (rare) ... I can tell you their 'simple liver tests' hardly ever work either.... the patients have all the muscle pain & weakness, but their liver tests all pass w/ flying colors... lipitor also shuts down the bodies transportation of Vitamin D into the central nervous system ..... (wonder why we have so many alzheimers patients ? ...check their medicine chest for statins for starters) - johncalhoun Thu, 06 Mar 2008 07:38:35 +0100 http://jaajoe.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=32#pc_6 There are times when drugs and the medical profession are necessary. Having said that...IMO...Most of the time it's nothing but a racket and unfortunately, most people follow them with blind adoration instead of taking control and responsibility for their own health. - Tipsycatlover Thu, 06 Mar 2008 07:33:13 +0100 http://jaajoe.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=32#pc_5 When I got my puppy the vet told me not to bother with vaccinations as her heart was so bad she wouldn't live out her first year. I give her a couple of drops of Coenzyme Q10 in her food. I poke a hole in the capsule with a pin and put a drop or two. She weighs less than ten pounds so a couple of drops is just fine. She will be three years old in June. - Tipsycatlover Thu, 06 Mar 2008 07:32:39 +0100 http://jaajoe.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=32#pc_4 The pharmaceutical industry and the FDA have known for well over a decade that statins reduce the production of Co-Q10. An early patent for a combination Mevacor/Co-Q10 pill was obtained by Merck but was never marketed. http://patft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-...&RS=PN/5082650 There are many people who are taking statins that haven't been told they need to take Co-Q10 supplements in conjunction. That's criminal. - wendy Thu, 06 Mar 2008 07:31:45 +0100 http://jaajoe.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=32#pc_3 Pills are not going to make you healthy. What you eat and drink mostly will determine your health. Pharmaceuticals are by and large a scam perpetuated upon us and making oodles of money for the big pharmas manufacturing the drugs. So, be mindful of what you eat and forget the Lipitor, etc. - ilovelucy Thu, 06 Mar 2008 07:31:04 +0100 http://jaajoe.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=32#pc_2 Statins are one of the biggest medical rip-offs in history. - wendy Thu, 06 Mar 2008 07:30:34 +0100 http://jaajoe.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=32#pc_1 I took it for 3 days and it gave me charlie horse cramps in my legs. Forget it. I will take a tablespoon of olive oil a day instead. - sockmonkey Thu, 06 Mar 2008 07:28:57 +0100
