Guest guest Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 If you have been injured by a statin drug, You can make a positive difference in this world by alerting others to the cold truth about statin drugs and their debilitating side effects. Sadly, the media has not picked up on the side effects of statins so people are being prescribed these drugs without adequate warning of the risks involved. The FDA isn't helping either. The only way things will change is if WE do something. So what can we do? Forget Demonstrations at the gates of drug companies. This is expensive, requires alot of coordination, and the local media may or may not be interested. Forget litigation. Only the lawyers win. Forget Congress. Washington won't help us. They get huge political donations from the drug companies. Here is what we can do. No cash required and very effective at getting the word out. It follows what I call the an Goliath principle. One small stone CAN do this. The answer is simply circulating emails that tell the truth and warn others so that they can make an informed decision before taking these drugs. The chain of forwarding emails should not be slanderous and should simply state the facts in a caring manner that will lend credibility to the text. This " Statin Alert " email should not give medical advice or tell someone not to take a statin, but instead make them aware of the possible consequences and let them make an informed decision. I wish someone had forwarded an email to me 6 years ago before I took a cholesterol lowering drug. I now live with chronic muscle fatigue. That drug devastated my life.
