CBS new tonight said they are doing a segmemt on statin drugs Thursday on their "Eye On You Health" spot. It sounds like they have some news to share and I can't wait to see how they are going to present it seeings how those statin commercials have to make CBS a lot of money.. Are they going to tell the truth or follow the money and the "adjusted" studies of those those drug companies?

CBS Evening news tomorrow night!

Several years ago CBS did do a segement on statin medications and transient global amnesia. They interviewed several people who discovered after taking a statin medication they were having problems with short term memory. Basically it was this report which my husband correlated my memory problems and taking statin medication. Which eventually led me to Dr. Graveline's website. So it is hopeful that they will have a more indepth report on the additional adverse affects of this medication. Hazel
