Your husband Joan should take charge of his own fate.

[Guest guest]

Your husband should stop statins now. Did you not

listen to that radio program from England that I

posted from Passion radio. Statins can cause cardio

myopathy, IOW they make the heart weak, they cause

CHF. Crestor is the most effective cholesterol

remover. Get your husband on the net and let him read

the posts here and DIT thread and elsewhere.
