The purpose in the choice of the title The Statin Damage Crisis is to draw attention to the thousands of statin damaged people who have written to Dr Graveline about their disabling neuropathies, myopathies and a variety of neurodegenerative conditions such as ALS and Parkinsonism associated with statin use. Although much of the book's content will be familiar to readers of Statin Drugs Side Effects, ( this was originally planned as a new edition ) the Statin Damage Crisis adds much new material that Dr Graveline has learned of in the past two years. Dr Graveline states: "Early on my NASA doctors told me my amnesia response to statins was nothing but a coincidence but I persevered to write my first book, Lipitor, Thief of Memory." "Then I learned of statin damage to nerves and muscles and profound behavioral and personality changes, demanding I write a second book, "Statin Drugs Side Effects." Even this broadly encompassing book was insufficient to describe what I have learned more recently of the truly dark side of statins - their ability to alter the very fabric of our makeup." "I had long wondered why muscle and nerve damage seemed permanent and even progressive like my own ALS-like condition. Now I have found that the ultimate effect of statins on CoQ10 and dolichols is to damage the DNA of the mitochondrial life-force within our cells - mitochondrial mutation masquerading as premature old age."

I'm Living The Statin Damage Crisis,
By
This review is from: The Statin Damage Crisis (Paperback)
I just finished reading Dr. Duane Graveline's latest book "The Statin Damage Crisis". I absolutely devoured it. It describes exactly what I am living and makes me feel very vindicated in of my arguments with narrow minded, tunnel visioned doctors.I recently went to the neurologist again, he said they had done all the things there were to do, I could repeat my muscle biopsy (hospital surgery), they could take a piece from a different place and it "might" show something else. No, there will not be another muscle biopsy. I still have a big scar on my thigh from the last one. The biopsy didn't prove anything that I didn't already know, but confirmed I have a "muscle myopathy of undetermined orgin". The nuerologist agreed with me that it is "probably" caused by statins. He also told me they are seeing more and more of this. My rhuemotologist agrees it is probably statin damage. My nurse practioner and family doctor all agree that is probably caused by statins. My muscles continue to atrophy and feel like mush. I have so much weakness and both of these are progressing. After reading Dr. Graveline's book I know I'm not alone in fighting this battle. And it is a battle. I took statins for four years after my coronary bypass surgery and had such muscle pain, cramps, and fatigue I thought my life was over. My heart doctor told me I would die if I didn't take statins. I finally decided it wasn't worth feeling like that, so I quit the statins. Three years later the pain isn't quite as bad, but it comes and goes, the weakness is getting worse, the fatigue is better some days than others, but never entirely goes away. The lack of energy is very difficult. Dr. Graveline has done such a wonderful service with his work and book by sharing it with all of us who suffer from taking statins. Because of him I have taken Co-Q10 for several years. The doctors are just now beginning to recognize the need for it. He also gives us help on what supplements may be of benefit to us. I have just placed another order for three more copies of this new book. It's to important not to share it with medical staff and friends. If I allowed myself, I could be very bitter about this but it wouldn't accomplish a thing. So I look forward to Doc's newsletters and any more new books he writes, knowing some one out there is trying to help us. I felt like I was so alone in this battle for so long. This book gives me courage and lets me now there are many more out there fighting the same things I am. God bless them. For anyone considering or taking statins this book is a must!

Statins Destruction of Normal Cells Functions,
By Retired Registered Nurse (Bradenton, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Statin Damage Crisis (Paperback)
This book informs you of the damage to the normal function of our cells by statins. I am a retired Registered Nurse and have been suffering the results of prescriptions of Baycol & Pravachol given to me over 10 years ago. Every doctor and health care provider should read this as multitudes are having medical problems related to the over prescribing of statins. Surprisingly, physicians refuse to blame their conditions on the drugs. Its time for the brain washing to stop & this multibillion dollar industry to be investigated.

a life saver - literally,
By
This review is from: The Statin Damage Crisis (Paperback)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1424338697/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_titleIf you are taking statins, you would be well advised to read this book and share the numerous concerns it raises with your own Doctor. In fact, I've already bought an extra lending copy for friends and family! Spacedoc, as Dr Duane Graveline is affectionately known, has a researched and written several excellent books on the subject of Statins. So I was looking forward to reading this one and was not disappointed. The book is based upon extensive and comprehensive scientific published research and the relevant papers are listed by chapter at the end of the book. The book identifies six major problems which statin users are going to have to deal with as a result of the defined action of the drug class known as Statins. The six areas of our metabolism which get messed up might sound a little complex but spacedocs chatty style of writing makes the important stuff accessible. If you are non-technical you might feel you have to look a few words up but it will be well worth it and Spacedoc explains the consequences in plain language. If you take the medication or are thinking about it you need to know this stuff. Spacedocs book will undoubtedly save some lives. It most certainly iwill improve the quality of life for most people who have already taken statins. Even those who feel compelled to continue with statins will gain some understanding of how to deal with the six areas of collateral damage as identified in the book. Those involved in the prescribing and dispensing of statins would be well advised to read this book too. It is inevitable that the broadening criteria for medicating people, even healthy people, with statins is going to further highlight the crisis of statin damage referred to in the title. Spacedoc, and the rest of use who have experienced statin medication, would like to share the fuller story with a wider audience for an informed scientific debate about the true extent of adverse reactions the so called super-drug known as Statin. Reading this book has helped me to speak confidently about the adverse effects I experienced, and to engage others in the debate. Thank you, Spacedoc for writing it! Buy your doctor copy and make sure he reads it.
