Owen,
At age 54 I had a quad bypass at the best heart hospital on Long Island. They sent me home with the usual meds including Lipitor. Three years later I had lost all of my upper body strengh. Finally my cardiologist said to stop the statin and see what happens. Within a week I felt 1000% better.
I started investigating what was going on. Watched interviews with Dr. Seniff, Dr. Mercola and others. Read books and figured out that statins are poison.
Somewhere along the way I saw the Pauling video where he lays out what he believes is the root cause of CVD.
Finally something that made complete sense and could be acted on! Pauling led me to Rath and somehow I stumbled upon the Foundation.
Now that I understood how statins really work and the affect they have on CoQ10 production, I had a major insight. Doctors at the hospital along with my cardiologist and my primary care physician don't have a clue what is going on. Supplemental CoQ10 was never brought up. This will piss me off until the day I die. Pay the cashier and we'll see you in 6 mo.
Anyway, that's my story.
Welcome.
