I’d like to offer you a story idea about a hidden health problem affecting 20 million patients each year who take statin medications to lower cholesterol. Statins—Lipitor, Zocor, Pravachol, Mevacor, Lescol, and Crestor—are the most prescribed drugs in America.

Three out of 4 people stop taking statins, and side effects are a major cause. Pharmaceutical watchdog Jay Cohen, MD, says most patients and even many doctors are stunned to learn that most statin side effects are preventable.

If drug companies and doctors tailored statin treatments to the individual, instead of using one-size-fits-all methods, millions of these side effects could be prevented, allowing people to continue the treatment they need.

Dr. Cohen is America’s leading voice on prescription drug safety and side effects, and would be delighted to discuss:

·         How to know if you need statin therapy, and if so, how much

·         How to choose the right statin at the right dose for you

·         Important low-dose data your doctor has never seen for Crestor, Lipitor, Zocor, Pravachol, Mevacor, and Lescol 

·         Common statin side effects and how to handle them

·         6 practical strategies for avoiding statin side effects altogether

·         Why women and seniors require special dosing considerations

·         6 ways to cut your statin treatment costs in half

·         Medically proven natural remedies for reducing cholesterol

Dr. Cohen’s newest book is What You Must Know About Statin Drugs & Their Natural Alternatives (Square One Publishers). He has given presentations on drug safety at medical conferences and at the FDA. In his widely acclaimed previous book, Over Dose: The Case Against the Drug Companies (Tarcher), he predicted the serious problems we are now seeing with COX-2 drugs (Celebrex, etc.) and SSRI antidepressants (Prozac, etc.). Dr. Cohen conducts his work independently from the drug industry and the government.

The AMA Code of Medical Ethics states that doctors have an “ethical obligation" to provide information on all “therapeutic alternatives consistent with good medical practice.” This is exactly what Dr. Cohen provides in What You Need to Know About Statin Drugs and Their Natural Alternatives.

Please let me know if I can arrange a time for you to speak with him directly.

Sincerely,

Cathy Lewis
