from: http://www.newsmaxhealth.com A new treatment for swine flu may already be on pharmacy shelves — cholesterol-lowering statin drugs like Lipitor and Zocor. A large study found that people who were taking these drugs when they caught seasonal flu and had to be hospitalized were twice as likely to survive than those who were not on such medicines. This doesn't prove that statins can cure flu...

The risk of death in patients with flu was reduced by statins. Red yeast rice is an over the counter statin so it's easy to get. Be warned, though, mycotoxins have been found in some brands so caveat emptor. I've taken red yeast rice when my statin prescription lapsed but buyer beware. Patients taking statin drugs were almost 50 percent less likely to die ...

Husband and I are taking 10mg of Simivestan a night, how much coQ10 mg's should be taken with this dosage? For those who have taken coQ10 along with statins and those who have not, have you noticed a difference? Does this really help? Any particular brand of CoQ10 recommended ? Thank you

Or..... one could do as I did and get totally off statins with GREAT Cholesterol numbers, and GREAT Blood Pressure numbers, mostly through Diet and Exercise. The best supplements and medicine in the world are Diet and Exercise. And, the best part, it doesn't cost extra to eat healthy!

I got stopped by a cowboy cop while driving on the West Shore Expressway in Statin Island. He was a one-man show. He did it all. From a stopped position just past a bridge he clocked me with a Pro Laser handheld unit, dropped the unit down on the seat and plowed his way onto the expressway to run after me. He had hid hands full on this one. From being stopped on the right side of ...

Interesting that one type of statin would cause panic attack issues and another does not. I wonder what it is in the statin that causes this. I am feeling better on the Zocor/Simvastatin than I was on the Pravachol/Pravastatin. And my Cardiologist also told me to take 100mg of CoQ10 twice per day from the very beginning. He said that your body can only metabolize ...
