Default Statins: Fountain of youthful brain?

Would you like having the brain of an eight-year-old?

811 deaths and counting
Quote:
He was very much mainstream in his prescribing and thinking about medicine, until he was started on statins. He took them happily, until he suffered an episode of transient global amnesia. A complete loss of memory, re-booting his brain to the age of about eight.
On the first occasion he had no idea what had happened. He thought he could have had a stroke, but after investigations nothing was found. He asked if the statin could have caused this, and was told no – not a chance. So he started on statins again, and suffered another episode, the same as the last.

He then started investigating and found that thousands of others had suffered from episodes of transient global amnesia whilst on statins. A very, very, rare thing to happen to anyone, but increasingly common nowadays. I wonder why? Dr. Graveline then started to develop a neuromuscular disease, similar to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) which he attributes to the statin. Statins can certainly cause neuropathy – but I shall say no more on this issue at present.
