Taffy, I am NOT saying anything about your statin.
What I am saying is that there seem to be natural replacements to statin and that you could have a look so you are at least aware that there are natural replacements. Don't allow the pharmaceuticals and their lackeys, the doctors, to make you a slave of their system (unless you like that kind of slavery).

Doing a quick search, I found:
