  WeeksMD — Authority: 134
  Dr. Weeks Comment:   In 1989 the patent (see below) was filed which demonstrated the importance of never prescribing a statin drug without also prescribing Co Q 10.   So, tell me, why didn’t your your doctor tell you to take Co Q 10 when he or she was handing out statin drugs like candy? “  1.

  Impactiviti blog — Authority: 531

• The Statinator Paradox

  
  The Blog of Michael R. Eades, M.D. — Authority: 477
  Pity the poor lipophobes and statinators.  They’ve just taken another grievous wound to their favorite theory and haven’t even got sense enough to know it.  In fact, not only do they not have sense enough to realize they’ve taken the hit, they’re actually crowing about it. The current issue of the Journal of ...

  Pathophilia — Authority: 426

• More bad news for the makers (and takers) of cholesterol-reducing drug ezetimibe (Zetia)

  
  Dr John Briffa's Blog — Authority: 462
  Previously, I have written about the drug combination of simvastatin and ezetimibe (sold as Vytorin in the US). Both of these drugs reduce cholesterol, but through different mechanisms. Taken together, these drugs do do a good job of reducing cholesterol levels And we all know that the lower we get the cholesterol ...

  Stop The Thyroid Madness — Authority: 112
  When Forest Labs reformulated Armour earlier this year, they stated they increased the filler Microcrystalline Cellulose, and decreased the Sucrose (sugar).

• Statinators spill the beans

  
  The Blog of Michael R. Eades, M.D. — Authority: 477
  Oftentimes people become so fixed in their thinking – and in their belief that everyone else thinks the same way – that they unwittingly raise the curtain and expose the wizard of their flawed thinking, showing it for what it really is.  Statinators have done just that in an article in the current issue of the ...
