Hmmmm... I know they can lead to liver problems.... do you know where I can find the research on that? Western medicine is so gross.

I would start here, as this web page posts scanned copies of the Canadian version of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Note the yellow highlites on the right column.
Canadian doctors are warned that a) statins LOWER circulating CoQ10 levles (which leads to heart failure) and statins b) increase levels of Lp(a), which Pauling identified as the culprit in building plaques.
The FDA does not require these warnings and US Doctors are unaware of these issues.
I also wrote an overview paper:

and finally, this information is in a new book.

which I challenge you to give to your cardiologist to read
