My curiosity made me order The Statin Damage Crisis. I'm only half way through and I now thoroughly hope that the author is exaggerating, or plain bonkers.

Problem is, I don't think that's the case.

I knew of some of the problems - especially the PN - and it's pretty common for serious journalists here to really wonder if everyone who takes it actually needs it.

After reading this book I seriously wonder if *anyone* should ever take statins.

You can combat inflammation with diet and omega3 - and inflammation really seems to be key when it comes to heart problems. That's why statins work, not because they lower cholesterol. But they eliminate so much, and works so crudely, that it not just lowers inflammation, it damages your immunity system. (and creates a host of other problems)

Unless I'm just reading a bad dream, and someone corrects me and the author. Nuclear Factor kB is a real thing, right? And statins work via inhibiting NFkB right?

I'm shocked.
