Re: Statin drugs for cholesterol & leg cramp

[Guest guest]

June,

You're welcome June. This is a BIG pet peeve of mine. The

manufacturers are aware of this problem and one company even added the

Q-10 to their statin, but it's not available to us because of a patent

issue.

These manufacturers spend billions on advertising so you'd think every

doctor would be aware of this problem. It shouldn't suprise me that

most doctors aren't aware of it either. It's very difficult for them

to keep up on everything, but I feel the pharmaceutical companies

should make sure they know. One man on TV was completely paralyzed

from the muscle damage caused by the deficiency. Sad thing is that

his doctor put him on the cholesterol meds as a precaution, not

because he had high cholesterol.
