Statin Drugs: The Poster child of What Is Terribly Wrong with Conventional Medicine
Let's take the cholesterol lowering drugs – statins – as an example.
Since chiropractic is very focused on musculoskeletal and neurological systems, statins could rightly be considered the most dangerous drug class their patients face today. Even the FDA recently required statin drug manufacturers to include warnings on statin drugs pointing out they cause memory problems (dementia) and may induce type 2 diabetes. But this is just the tip of the iceberg!
The Greenmedinfo.com database contains published research on over
300 adverse health effects these drugs have been linked to, with the primary mechanisms of toxicity focusing on their muscle and nerve damaging properties, i.e. myotoxicity and neurotoxicity. How ironic is that?
The very drugs promoted to save the heart actually target this organ preferentially. The heart muscle is a highly enervated muscle – i.e., it is muscle densely packed with nerves. Beyond the
cardiotoxic properties of statins, muscle soreness, weakness and damage are well established – and common – side effects of taking these chemical drugs.

And so, an astute chiropractor will often do a case history and discover that statins were a key step in the inauguration of their patients fall from well-being. But what can they do? Are they going to run up against their patient's cardiologist and tell them to go off of them? How can a chiropractor make such a claim without peer-reviewed and published data to support them?
Greenmedinfo.com exists to provides the solution. In fact, we have over 500 problem substances indexed thus far, many of them commonly prescribed drugs.
Take a look at our
Statin Drug Side Effects page to see the immensity of the problem. As of today, we have 333 different diseases and/or adverse health effects linked to this drug class. Each and every one of these signals comes from vetted, peer-reviewed and published literature from the
National Library of Medicine – the top of the food chain when it comes to medical credibility..
