    I take (simvas)statins for over 10 years. No side effects at all.

    Once I stopped taking them for a 2 weeks (had no prescription anymore) and went to the doctor for a checkup and a new prescription. My bad cholesterol was up a lot and I had to start taking it again. After a while my cholesterol was ok again.

    Good for you. Now you can switch to Amla, if you want to be natural. :)

    Also, you may want to take CoQ-10 as an extra, since statins deplete the heart of this important enzyme. Yes, there are studies to back this so much so that now even big pharma makes a statin+CoQ combo.

    Hey Lylec and Schweiz, what were your cholesterol numbers BEFORE started taking the statins? The reason I ask is because there is a very good chance you don't even need it.

    Just an average "high" total cholesterol number doesn't mean anything. It is not a reliable marker for CVD, meaning it is not a good predictor of future heart disease. Not to mention the definition of high keeps getting lowered so more and more people can be put on statins for life.

    What is actually a good marker is high VLDL and Trig numbers together. Except VLDL is usually not measured in the normal blood test.

    For example let's say my total number is 220, and since this is above the currently advised level of 200 or below, I would be advised by my doctor to take statins. But if I break down my numbers and these are for the sake of the example:

    HDL 70
    LDL 130
    Trig 100

    For those not knowing, Total = HDL + LDL + Trig/5

    (And that is kind of stupid because they should use ratios instead)

    The good HDL is very nicely high, the Trig is very nicely low, so there is really no concern for increased CVD risk.

    Not to mention as posted earlier, Trig levels can be lowered naturally without statins...

    Cholesterol was going up and down between 220 and 260. Cholesterol is down to below 190 with medication.

    I have all my life a high blood pressure and that combined with high cholesterol increases the risk of a cerebral infarction. My bloodpressure is normally systolic 150-180 and diastolic 90-120.
    With medication it lowered to 130 systolic and 90 diastolic and is more stable (no spikes to +200 anymore)

    Animal fats are structurally inadequate for atherosclerosis. It's VLDL and no amount of statins are going to fix VLDL.
