Thanks for the post. I have read it and will read it. I just took myself off statins, may have to get a new doctor. Another book, Overdosed, has suggested that smaller doses of statins may have real benefits, and that lowered cholesterol is a benefit ONLY to men under 65 who have had a heart attack - and that benefit was slim.
