The Research on Statins
According to a study published in the American Journal of Physiology, statins may be associated with premature aging, neurological damage, diabetes, and skeletal muscle weakness. What’s more, it has also be linked with rhabdomyolysis, a muscle damage characterized by strong muscular ache, kidney failure, and even death.
Statin consumption, according to Dr. David Williams, is also linked with a higher level of degeneration, nerve pain, loss of memory, depression, confusion and higher risks of Parkinson’s and ALS. Also, the FDA admitted that statins can elevate one’s chance of high blood sugar and impair the cognitive function, damage the liver, and lead to muscular degeneration. However, they still claim that statins are both safe for use and effective. They point out that their power in averting heart illness has already been established, but still, they need to be taken with care and complete knowledge of their side effects.
So, what can one conclude from the above-mentioned information? Certainly, the side effects and health risks linked with statins are more detrimental than beneficial. Hence, we need to start questioning the advantages and disadvantages of prescription meds and focus more on natural and researched remedies instead. For sure, if you want to maintain optimal health and well-being, you need to be constantly informed about pharmaceuticals!
