Hello Colleen, I agree. Medication is certainly necessary when lifestyle changes either don't work, are not complied with (as weight loss in my own case) or are not relevant for a particular condition.
So that it did not seem like MY opinion or one without references, I would like to have included a link to an amazing documentary of leading Canadian doctors and researchers in the field of cholesterol but it seems that Americans can't gain access to it on our government TV site, The Fifth Estate. In the documentary the experts state that only a man in his forties who has already had a heart attack should be on statins. And definitely not the elderly. It is fact and stated even on your Mayo clinic and Harvard University's Medical sites that side effects of statins are memory loss, joint pain, muscle weakness, often progression to diabetes and liver damage.
Doctors are unfortunately under the thumb of Big Pharma and woe betide any doctor who bucks the system. If he or she were to dissuade a patient from taking a statin...and then that person happened to have a heart attack, his career could be ruined...with the help of Big Pharma and the media.
