Statins – Its personal!

“The Statin industry is the utmost medical tragedy of all times.”  

Vascular surgeons, Ireland. Dr Sherif Sultan, Dr Niamh Hynes.

My father was made to take Statins by his doctor for 10 years, until he got a form of blood cancer which prompted me to investigate and research these so called wonder pills and persuade him to stop taking them. A year later – no pills, no cancer!

So I’m on a mission, because this has become personal, I’m here to inform and educate and to be intense in my writing because no-one else is going to tell you it like I do!

I’m shocked to see recent research that has stated that statins can cause a 48% increase in diabetes in post-menopausal women. *
