I welcome discussion concerning the issue of health and in particular the subject of cholesterol management and the harm it poses to patients as managed by doctors and drug companies via application of their standard protocol.
A few key points:
Statin drugs such as crestor, lipitor and zocor inhibit / reduce the production of coenzyme Q10.
Without this enzyme which is needed by every cell in the body for ATP energy production we see problems set in namely muscle atrophy.
Drug company Merck patents (4,933,165) is to add CoQ10 to statin drugs in order to overcome statin induced myopathy:
1. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutical carrier and an effective antihypercholesterolemic amount of an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor and an amount of Coenzyme Q.sub.10 effective to counteract HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor-associated skeletal muscle myopathy.
HOWEVER:
This invention has never been implemented, probably because the entire world supply of CoQ10 is limited and current production would only supply one-sixth of the world’s statin users.
Statin Drugs are the best selling drugs in the world.
Tens of Billions of $$$ captured from this statin market each year.

Read it top to bottom and tell me with all due intellectual honesty that our corporate leaders in the Big Pharma industry and their tools "doctors" have the patient's best interests in mind concerning cholesterol management.
Following my retirement from Home Building I now work in the field of Health via natural approaches and what I have seen via first hand experience with actual people is alarming in my humble view. The more I research the data the more it becomes clear that the corporate world in some cases is at odds with the well being of our population.
More information regarding coenzyme Q10 and how it supports host health HERE (http://faculty.washington.edu/~ely/coenzq10.html)
Please respond with your thoughts.
My real concern is the scale of this fraud.
The worlds best selling pharmaceuticals are what we are talking about here.
