Dr Duane Graveline's book Statin Drugs Side Effects, and the misguided war on cholesterol

In his search of the medical and scientific literature for an explanation for his own statin associated transient global amnesia this former astronaut and retired family doctor reveals to his readers the critical importance of cholesterol for proper brain function and memory and the reasons for the damage statin drugs do to our muscles, nerves and heart and even our personalities.

From his participation in the San Diego College of Medicine statin study to his review of FDA's Medwatch files of adverse drug reports and his email correspondence with thousands of distraught patients the world over, Dr. Graveline is uniquely qualified to discuss the magnitude of the statin side effect problem, the complex and wide ranging role of cholesterol in our bodies and the range of serious and unintended consequences of the misguided war on this vital substance.

This book, by a highly qualified MD and scientist, is timely considering the fact that statins are being promoted heavily for ever more people.

This book must be regarded as essential reading by all who prescribe statins, by all who take statins and by all who are advised to take statins.

And when you book your next flight, you might like to ask first whether the plane will be piloted by someone taking statins – and pick another if it is.
