Damage to Brain and Muscle

Beatrice Golomb is one of the few people who has studied the detrimental effects of statin medications on behavior. In one paper she observed that "Reported problems included violent ideation, irritability, depression, and suicide. Problems resolved with drug discontinuation and recurred with rechallenge where attempted." Statin use has been associated with road rage and other aggressive behaviors. Statins have also been known to induce memory loss. The brain effects of statins can be compounded by the effects of statins on muscles and energy production in the body. Statins have been known to cause fatigue and severe muscle damage by depleting Coenzyme Q10. Anyone using statin medications should be supplementing with NeoLife's CoQ10 supplement as a prevention of deficiency of the nutrient by statin drugs. The damage statin drugs can cause was widely popularized by Duane Graveline, M.D. He developed memory loss and severe muscle damage after using Lipitor and wrote several books including Lipitor, Thief of Memory and The Statin Damage Crisis. Anyone using these drugs should obtain a copy of the potential harmful effects of these drugs so they can be on the watch for them. There are a number of nutritional options to address the cholesterol issue and the following article will address that topic.
