Great article on statin drugs (Lipitor, and all those) on Dr. Mercola’s site; http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2004/07/21/statin-drugs-part-four.aspx

I warn my clients daily about the problems with these drugs. For a start, they severely reduce the amount of Coenzyme Q 10 in the body. Co Q 10 is one of the main vital nutrients required by the heart for its function. Now that just doesn’t make sense does it? Cholesterol reducing drugs are being prescribed for heart and circulation protection, yet they take away what the heart needs to function optimally. Grrrr… this kind of thing drives me wild. To quote Dr. Mercola’s tweet this morning, “For those who have no genetic enzyme defects or 325-350 cholesterol levels, taking STATIN drugs is just NOT worth the risk.”

YES.
