Statin therapies are being prescribed to people around the globe. Evidence has
emerged that statins can be hazardous to health. The prime rationale for their
use is the notion that raised cholesterol is harmful.

Much evidence suggests that a low serum cholesterol is associated with
depression, suicide, muscle damage, memory loss and general ill-health. As the
signature count begins to climb, we can see the impact of having patients telling
of their own bad experiences with statins. It has been the case for far too long
now that the medical profession, as a whole, has not seen the obvious nor has
it listened very well to what the patients on statins have been telling it.

The first 100 commentaries have been analysed and the analysis clearly reveals
that which many people who are struggling to cope with the side effects of
taking statin drugs, already know to be true. The results of the analysis of 100
comments left by people who have signed this petition can be viewed at the

This sort of information is compelling and will contribute to making a powerful
argument against the widespread and indiscriminate use of statins. Your
signature is valued. You have the opportunity to add a 500 word comment in
support of your signature and you are encouraged to use that space to tell the
WHO what has happened to you. Please be assured that any information that
you supply will never be misused. All data that is extracted from this petition will
be presented in the tabulated and anonymous form that can be seen at the URL
listed above. The petition must be presented with signatures that are unique
and in that case your name will be known but you do not have to supply any
other details if you wish them to remain private.

If you choose to write a comment of up to 500 words, please consider giving
information about the statin name and dose and the length of time you had
taken it. It would be helpful to know if you are male of female and your age.
Please list the symptoms that have caused you to suffer and also try to make
an assessment of your quality of life (QOL) on a scale of 1 to 100. It would be
helpful to know if you are still taking a statin. All of this information will help to
produce a greater impact when this information is tabulated and analysed.

Finally, please tell any other people that you know of who are being treated for
high cholesterol. Thank you for your signature and your time.
