Regardless of what your doctor says, every drug has an inherent risk. It is essential to know the risk to make an intelligent and informed decision.
Did you know lipophilic statins – like Lipitor, Zocor, and Altoprev – have been promoted since 1987? Do you know something else has skyrocketed by 117% since then? What could that be?
Dementia has skyrocketed by 117% since the promotion of statins!
Coincidence? Highly unlikely.
These cholesterol-lowering drugs deplete CoQ10, a critical antioxidant that protects your brain and nervous system
Low CoQ10 is directly linked to cognitive decline, memory loss, and neurodegeneration disease like Alzheimer’s.
Studies show that 300 older adults with mild memory issues and who were on lipophilic statins were significantly more likely to develop dementia over 8 years.
CoQ10 deficiency is also tied to:
- Seizures
- Muscle weakness
- Vision loss
- Sensorineural hearing loss
- And some progressive neurological disorders.
Have you been given this information when statins have been recommended for you? Have you been provided with the role that cholesterol plays in the health of your brain? Have your CoQ10 levels been tested?
What can you do if you have low CoQ10?
One of our Foundation Four products is LongeviDK2, which contains CoQ10, Vitamin D (food form, not from lanolin), and K2. This will help increase your CoQ10 levels to an optimal level. We are committed to health, not pharmaceutical profit!
Fortunately, people are waking up to these challenges. Cholesterol numbers are being looked at differently. We’re seeing the positives in good cholesterol, and healthier solutions to cholesterol problems are being found. If you’re taking statins for ‘cholesterol issues,’ perhaps it’s time for you to start looking at the latest research and begin having some new conversations with your doctor. We’re not suggesting you stop any of your drugs without the approval of your doctor, but it may be time to start looking at lifestyle charges that will help create a healthier you, from the inside out!
We actually had a local doc/friend tell us if you won’t take statins you can’t be part of my practice.
We said, nice to know you for all these years, we are out of here!!
He said we were crazy….I sent him several articles on his miracle “statins” drugs.
They were studies from all over the world….even today he is still pushing statins…
Do they get some kind of Big Phar reward for pushing detrimental drugs on people??
Thanks Gretchen – yes we have to be able to think for ourselves! and make appropriate decisions!
Is dietary change the only thing to do to change high cholesterol levels? ie good fats
That’s the first and most important.
Cheryl, may I please post this article on my Facebook page??? Sorry forgot to mention it
before.
Really concerned that Norma maybe on Statins…..I have no say in any matter medical can’t even ask for information. At one time after stroke in 2024 she was on 20 different meds…..
Feel free to share – yes we’re stepping on toes but . . . this is no longer fringe research – it reflects the reality of money and people being stuck in old paradigms – sad!
Thank you for great info we offer to you a health company Synergy Worldwide and their product ProArgi9+ has all their great all natural products.

The Doctor put me on liptor for high cholesterol and I started to get server cramps.
I went on emu oil for high cholosteral it’s excellent.
I still get cramps any suggestions for the cramps.
Judith you might try taking Magnesium Supplements in the evening – we’re getting very good results with our new CellCore TriMag Complex. Thanks,
Magnesium glycinate can help with the cramps. Our TriMag Complex is a blend of that plus carbon technology (fulvic and humic acids) for cellular support.
Each bottle is a 2-month taken at maintenance dose. Is deficient in magnesium, you can increase dose until better.
After I had a cardiac event in 2018: I was prescribed a statin such as Lipitor and some other meds. Within a few weeks, I started to get muscle pain and stopped the statins myself. They can be stopped cold turkey. The cardiologist in my town and the doctor only asked about my cholesterol levels and my taking the statins. The cardiologist never asked about side effects. I told the receptionist that I would look for another cardiologist.
I am now in the care of another cardiologist, with a referral from my integrative doctor. He is in another city in Australia. My consultations with him have been via Telehealth. He has been very thorough and does lots of other tests, other than for cholesterol and does not insist on taking statins. He asked a lot more about my diet and lifestyle.
Thanks for sharing Helena!! Way to be in charge of your health!
