Book Reviews of Lipitor Thief of Memory

Book Review: A real eye-opener
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a must read for anybode on statin (anti-cholesterol) drugs such as Lipitor, Crestor or Pravachol.

Dr. Graveline discusses the really nasty side effects of statin drugs - such as acute memory loss, general reduction in learning ability, serious digestive problems etc. By giving examples from his own experiences of side effects and those of others he puts his finger at the heart of the problem - the side effects can be really bad and the "cure" is a reduction of a really important biological substance (cholesterol) that may not be harmful at all.

As a result of this book, discussing many quality-of-life reducing side effects that I also have experienced, and of further research into the area I have totally abandoned Lipitor and other statin drugs.

Summary of Lipitor Thief of Memory

When Dr. Duane Graveline, former astronaut, aerospace medical research scientist, flight surgeon, and family doctor is given Lipitor to lower his cholesterol, he temporarily loses his short-term memory. Urged a year later to resume the drug at half dose, he lost both short-term and retrograde memory and was finally diagnosed in a hospital ER as having transient global amnesia (TGA). This is the "scary, appealingly written" account of his search for answers that his medical community didn't have -- the how and why of his traumatic experience, and what needs to be done to prevent the devastating side effects to body and mind from the escalating use of the statin drugs.
