Time to Stop Taking Statins - Peer Reviewed Research

FYI.... published in the Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology recently and referenced by a number of esteemed Establishment Communications

Statins stimulate atherosclerosis and heart failure: pharmacological mechanisms

In contrast to the current belief that cholesterol reduction with statins decreases
atherosclerosis, we present a perspective that statins may be causative in coronary artery
calcification and can function as mitochondrial toxins that impair muscle function in the heart
and blood vessels through the depletion of coenzyme Q10 and ‘heme A’, and thereby ATP
generation. Statins inhibit the synthesis of vitamin K2, the cofactor for matrix Gla-protein
activation, which in turn protects arteries from calcification. Statins inhibit the biosynthesis of
selenium containing proteins, one of which is glutathione peroxidase serving to suppress
peroxidative stress. An impairment of selenoprotein biosynthesis may be a factor in congestive
heart failure, reminiscent of the dilated cardiomyopathies seen with selenium deficiency.
Thus, the epidemic of heart failure and atherosclerosis that plagues the modern world may
paradoxically be aggravated by the pervasive use of statin drugs. We propose that current
statin treatment guidelines be critically reevaluated.

Also, and also important,

This presentation is extremely interesting and informative http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX1vBA9bLNk (It's also quite humorous!!)

It's worth your time if you take Statins.... you'll stop them immediately after seeing this. I promise.
