Yes, it is real:

Dr. Graveline MD quoted on this link, is a former Astronaut and MD who was damaged by Lipitor. He has written a book and has
a website devoted to statins now.

Did you watch the 8 minute video link I put up?
It also demonstrates another mechanism that statins result in poisoning and killing cells. The immune effects are in ADDITION to the metabolic damage in the cells themselves. Mevalonate pathways.
(the voice on this video sounds very much like Dr. Seneff...but I don't see her credits on this video).

Statins are really poisons. This is becoming more visible as the patents expire. We won't see them much within the next 5 yrs, I predict. They will go the way transfats have gone. The poisonous nature of transfats was known over 10 yrs before any agency acted on it. (transfats caused millions to be damaged over about 70yrs, and that scope is similar to the damage statins are causing now).

Already Big Pharma is planning new non-statin cholesterol control.
But because of its new nature ...negative studies are not available yet. So far they are injectables...that won't be received well either.

You know statins are contraindicated during pregnancy because they damage and/or kill the fetus. That is a hint of what they do to adults.

IMO these drugs are the worst thing ever to happen to medicine and patients. Worse than Vioxx, HRT estrogens, even thalidomide.
They are worse because Big Pharma is suggesting using them on millions more people, rather than the reverse!
