Statins and Cardiovascular Disease: Not as Protective as We're Led to Believe

 I found this article very interesting. Dr. Seaman has been very thorough in collecting his supporting data and presenting it logically.

The statin drugs, used to reduce cholesterol, are of little benefit in reducing heart disease, and a connection between cholesterol levels and heart disease is tenuous at best, so taking statins for this purpose is not helpful. However, as a number of my patients have discovered, the statin drugs DO cause back and neck, and other body pain. Is it really worth taking an ineffective drug just to increase your pain levels.

As I always tell my patients: there are definitely times where medications are beneficial and necessary, however, if the same effect can be achieved without putting an additional poison into your body, isn't it worth pursuing that avenue first? The natural treatments provided by chiropractic care and cold-laser therapy are safer and usually as effective as the more invasive methods in helping you be more healthy and pain-free.
