FDA is a liar, i think they has been corrupted and this is a case of bribe giving by Pfizer ,Merck and other manufacturers of interest.
My father died of pulmonary fibrosis and then ALS/MND-like syndrom after 9 years on Simvastatin.
I suggest statins to name not remedy but as poisons.

If you can't believe what G Bush has been doing with his right hand why would you believe what he is doing with his left hand?!?
The FDA is a politically run arm of our government who's "experts"? are allowed to decide what "Collateral Damage" is "acceptable" for commercial viability and profiteering.
Research the FDA if you dare.
I am aware and know better!

pjones....that's easy to say if you aren't taking a statin. The FDA says there's no link to ALS. They're the pros, what are your creditials? I'll take my chances with the statins. I'd rather not die of a heart related condition I know I have as a condition that will get me right after I win the lottery.

Statin drugs are so damaging to the body, that I'm sure there's a connection between ALS and statins. On ALS sites people are always asking if somebody got ALS after taking statins...Simple don't take a statin.

FREE ESSAY SITE WORKS FROM SPECIAL ED TO COLLEGE ED
“I have used this technique with my corporate clients, my theology students, and soon with my students at Kaplan University.”
Dr. Kathleen A. Bishop, M.B.A., PhD, ThD.
“I had wanted to wait until I got feedback from the teachers. They love it and we are looking at using it with some of our AT devices.”
Dr. Suzanne Pope Dobson - Calhoun High School (Special Education Department Head)
“As a physician I recommend The Easy Essay almost daily to patients to help them organize their thoughts and improve their ability to concisely communicate their medical histories…”
Dr. Ernest G Hope MD PhD (Stanford University, USA)
www.TheEasyEssay.com is a free automated information organization program. It has been taught to 7 year olds, LD students, Special Education classes (or for mainstreaming), in high schools or for home schooling, for basic expository writing, as prep for the SAT, FCAT and the ACT, as well as a college class and for post graduate work. As an aid in research, the site is linked to Google® and can expand to 17 paragraphs. It has been used for interoffice communications, speech writing, and business, technical and scientific reports (See “Testimonials”). The program can even be used for educational rehabilitation purposes (its logical, color coded, repetitive functions lead one to believe that it could have beneficial effects in retraining neural pathways). Additionally, The Easy Essay can be used in any language.
A noted side effect is that users begin to communicate logically.

Our major sorse of education, how we live, and how we behave comes through the mass media. Where are the good examples for all to follow! How does one learn how to be a good student, and aparent? Most all the examples are terrible! We can expaect more and more to follow.
So simple! Monkey see, monkey do!
