GMI:How Statins Harm The Body and Mind

[link to www.greenmedinfo.com (secure)]

It turns out that a common sleight of hand in the medical literature is the popularization of claims around "relative risk reduction" which can make an effect appear meaningful, when the "absolute risk reduction" reveals its insignificance. In this way, 100 people are treated with statin medications to offer 1 person benefit, and the change from a 2% to a 1% heart attack rate is billed a 50% reduction rather than a 1% improvement, which is what it actually is.

Perhaps this would still qualify as better safe than sorry if these medications weren't some of the most toxic chemicals willfully ingested, with at least 300 adverse health effects evident in the published literature so far, with at least 28 distinct modes of toxicity, including:

Muscle damage (myotoxicity): view 80 studies here.
Nerve damage (neurotoxicity): view 54 studies here.
Liver damage (hepatoxocity): view 32 studies here.
Endocrine disruption: view 16 studies here.
Cancer-promoting: view 9 studies here.
Diabetes-promoting: view 8 studies here.
Cardiovascular-damaging: view 15 studies here.
Birth defect causing (teratogenic): view 11 studies here.
