Statins & Memory Loss on Good Morning America

Postby SusieO » Wed Feb 13, 2008 7:50 am

Did you happen to watch the segment on GMA regarding statins and memory loss? Dr. Beatrice Golomb was shown in her lab and talked about the % of statin users who reported memory loss for her studies.

Of course Dr. Timothy Johnson was still FOR taking a statin. He even went as far as to say if Lipitor or another statin isn't working then switch to another one. Grrrrrrrr

I did email Good Morning America and told them I was glad they had this segment and that I had damage from a statin.

Maybe if enough of us contact GMA they will look further in to statin damge! I didn't use Doc's name, but told them to look at this website and see how many of us there are.

I saw the GMA story. I hope everyone here goes and tells their story like you and I did. Maybe someone will listen to us someday. I guess they will listen when their sales of statins goes down .

Things will only begin to change in the public domain when Pfizer's patent runs out in 2010.

Brian: Yes, but I want them buried NOW, and besides the world ends on Dec 12, 2112; that only gives us two years to win and gloat!

Brian: Sorry Dec 21, not 12. Like statins, I've threatened to cut our lives short! :shock:

Well, things are likely to be warming up before the 21st.
