After being on the market for almost 3 decades, causing havoc and distress with horrendous side effects like liver dysfunction, kidney failure and even cancer, finally, the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning about the use of simvastatin... saying that even the approved dosage can harm or even kill you!
I am absolutely gobsmacked!
After being on the market for almost 3 decades, causing havoc and distress with horrendous side effects like liver dysfunction, kidney failure and even cancer, finally, the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning about the use of this drug... saying that even the approved dosage can harm or even kill you!
I’m talking about Big Pharma’s ‘golden boy’, namely the cholesterol-lowering statin drug simvastatin or Zocor.
Much as I have to grit my teeth when I say ‘Better late than never!’, it's a relief to know that the mainstream is finally catching on to what we’ve been saying for a very long time...
Judging from our own readers’ experiences with statin drugs, the FDA’s warning can’t come soon enough... Here’s a comment one of our regular readers left recently on The Cholesterol Truth:
Countless people left to piece their lives back together
Trust me when I tell you, my inbox is flooded on a daily basis by hundreds of emails describing similar heart-wrenching stories of lives almost coming to a complete standstill as a result of taking these drugs...
Like this one, which flagged-up two weeks ago:
This is the stuff nightmares are made of, to say the least!
If you want to learn more about the truth behind the biggest medical atrocity of the past hundred years — the great cholesterol con — visit The Cholesterol Truth, today.
In our latest post, we’ll also tell you about the FDA’s latest warning against the use of statin drugs as well as simple, safe and effective alternatives to keep your heart healthy... If you’re one of the millions taking this drug, it will be a great injustice if you don’t read this information today!

- “Statins completely destroyed my father’s life. He was in great health until his doctor put him on this drug. Now, he is in hospital and can barely walk or even sit up. This drug caused his immune system to attack his own body. Stay off these drugs!!!” – 15 June 2011
Countless people left to piece their lives back together

- “I had a heart attack in April 2010 and had a stent fitted before being over-medicated by my cardiologist with statins. My HDL ‘good’ cholesterol dropped to dangerously low levels and I started having muscle cramps and legs and hands, and so started taking COQ10 to undo the statin damage.
Come autumn that same year, I was suffering daily chest pains and had very little energy. My mental state deteriorated and I had uncontrollable fits of anger, paranoia, and impulsive, dangerous behaviour like road rage.
By accident, I stopped taking the statins and soon started feeling better.
Then, my cardiologist prescribed Crestor. Before I took it, I did some research and discovered that the new ‘low dose’ Crestor was actually the maximum permitted dose for statins, since Crestor is considered a super-strong statin. Of course, I refused to take the drug and my doctor prescribed Fenofibrates instead... which were useless because they made no difference whatsoever!
The benefits of statins are so trivial that taking them are not worth the risk. Along with that, the truth behind the doctored outcomes of so-called statin trials is so appalling that this alone disproves the cholesterol theory ON ITS OWN!
Worse still, doctors refuse to start with the basics like a healthy diet and improving your lifestyle.
Sadly, we don't even know how many people are being killed or suffering from statin side-effects because the statistics are not even collected and will probably never be revealed.... Doctors are even being rewarded for dangerous oversubscribing...” – Charles, France, May 2011, via email
