8. Yes!

Thanks for chiming in with your success story. I'm so excited to be healthy again and off all of the meds I was on! I quit my statin drugs last year, before I found the primal/paleo way of eating and after I'd seen the same study you did that statins may cause diabetes. I'd been on them for 25 years for my "high" cholesterol. Within 3 days of going off them I felt enormously better and as if a huge fog had been lifted. I felt like I was able to think and comprehend so much better than when I was on them and I was also able to quit the ridiculous anti-depressants I'd been taking for almost as long as the statins! My grandmother had high cholesterol her entire life.... she lived to be 94 and had no heart disease and until she was over-medicated in a nursing home, she was entirely "with it".

I also read the Gary Taubes book, Good Calories, Bad Calories, two years ago and was very impressed with the enormous amount of research he'd pored through and re-examined to discover the truth about diet and obesity. He clarified so many misconceptions and outright deceptions to get to the truth of the matter. It's very sad that we've been so mislead by those in positions of power who could do so much good, if they were interested in health for the many, instead of profit for the few.

Question everything!
