How long until drug goes legal?

The economic consulting firm I worked for once handled a case about keeping generics off the market this way. We argued that while the manufacturer had no generic competitors, they gave away a lot more free samples, making consumers actually better off. This was before I joined, so I don't know the exact results, but I think the court bought it.

Mangan had an old post (now offline, with all of his old archives) called 'Don't Take Statins if you Need a Functioning Brain." Are you sure you need lipitor?

I'd poke through Paul Jaminet's writings on the subject and still see if you think you need it...

+1 on the stay clear of statins

Unless you've already had a heart-attack, their efficacy is completely unproven.

Do you have any risk factors besides total cholesterol count? To entertain a statin, you should also be exhibiting hypertension, small-dense LDL specifically _measured_ by a sub-fraction test, and a cardiac calcium deposit measurement. I'd also want to see some sort of lifestyle risk factor being exhibited: pear shape gut, heavy smoker/drinker,

And even with all those, I'd still try a year of dietary supplements of vitamin K2, D3, and EPA Omega-3, plus 0 wheat intake to see if that reversed the problem.

You come from a long line of long-lived men. Don't let some glorified car mechanic (AKA MD) sell you an Alzheimer's diagnosis 10 or 15 years from now.

But if you insist on the statin, be sure to supplement with CoQ10.

Good luck.
