W hen did you start taking statins?

That's prolly true, Bob. I'm 67 and have been taking them for 10 years.
Aches and pains is an understatement.



Only a tiny percentage of the population *need* to take statins.

If your cholesterol is a bit raised, then just change your diet. Read
the labels on everything you buy and you will soon see where the
saturated fats are (in all the manufactured food crap). Eat at least one
or two tins of sardines and/or wild salmon every week.

If you are overweight, then do something positive to reduce it. Your LDL
and blood pressure will then correct themselves. Eating oily fish will
boost your HDL.

Once you have passed 70, don't assume that nanny state and other
taxpayers will always be there to provide unlimited 'free' NHS for you.
The annual cost of the NHS is now an eye-watering £115 Billion and
rising faster than money can be garnered in taxation. Since 1948 the NHS
has consumed 4% more *every* year than the previous year. It was created
with a massive loan from the Yanks (someone should tell Ed Milipede
this) and has been funded by DEBT ever since.

All the other government calculations re pensions, debt etc are based on
just 3% annual inflation. See the barclays equity/gilt studies since
1900 for evidence.

QED, the NHS is going to fail, just like the (Scottish) banks did. It's
just a matter of time. I predict October 2015.
