Telling the truth is treason in the empire of lies, 2008-02-17
Statins are toxic and unsafe at "effective" doses. Once the truth comes out, the pharmaceutical industry will collapse and will likely take us M.D.'s down with them. Can't say we don't have it coming, though.
In practical terms, it is difficult to get the word out. The propaganda on statins is pervasive, and any time you tell a patient the truth, they look at you like you just told them the earth was flat. The other docs in the community may start thinking you're a crackpot as well, and perhaps stop referring patients your way.
Cholesterol is a great moneymaker for primary docs. Periodically, patients come in to get checked, get a prescription for Lipitor, and from then on every 3-6 months will require LFT's to check liver and recheck cholesterol. Between then, the patients will come in to be evaluated for side effects (GERD, memory loss, myalgia, etc). Anyway, good book.

Useful information not readily avilable elsewhere., 2007-11-08
I am interessted in both standard and alternative medical treatments. My doctor has prescribed Lipitor for me to control my cholesterol. Shane Ellison is an experienced pharmaceutical chemist who has broken ranks with the "standard march to the drumbeat" group to share his knowlege of helpful alternatives which he feels will work just as well, if not often better, than standard prescription products. In so doing, he feels there is also greater savings and less chance of experiencing dangerous side effects. The reader is then left to weigh the information, share concerns with their health care professional and move forward from there, armed with additional information enabling one to make more confident decisions. Definitely a highly interesting read!

cholesterol CON, 2007-10-31
I purchased this book not knowing much more than about the title. Book arrived in timely manner. Content of book was wonderful and informative. Combined with two other books I purchased of similar material, this book helped me understand the truth regarding statins in a way I certainly had not before.
