> Yes depletion of CoQ-10 is supposed to happen with statins. It is crucial in the production of the inner membranes of mitochondria I believe and therefore a lack of it can prevent the production of ATP. No wonder statins make people tired. The effects of Q10 are so fundamental, it's likely to cause all sorts of bad reactions. My Dr had never heard of it.
Funny how us non-doctors are up on the latest scams like statins.
Dr. Jarvik should be strung him up by the cajones for promoting a deadly drug like Lipitor.
Oh, well, it just more proof that in the US, its all about the money in the medical professions and "do no harm" goes right out the door as the greenbacks keep rolling in.
Statins are just the next Vioxx scandal.
