PS I am not suggesting that you go against your docs advice - just want you to think 'Is he always right?
Your statement flies in the face of the ‘experts’. They state that statins help to reduce the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.

I bow to the superior knowledge of someone who has spent many years going through medical school and even many more years as a GP. Not forgetting Dr Myers the cardiologist who first prescribed them and subsequent specialists who concurred with his decision.

A little amateur knowledge can be more dangerous than no knowledge at all.
