I write to you out of a desire to help others avoid the health problems I have faced.

If you are on cholesterol-lowering medication I urge you to do your own independant research on the potential these drugs have to damage your health.

Please do not assume, as I did, that the drug companies have only your best interests at heart, or that your doctor keeps himself/herself informed of all the latest research.

By key-word searching the name of your medication on the internet, you will easily and quickly find a wealth of information on the risks of such drugs - risks your doctor may not have told you about.

With this information you can decide for yourself on whether or not the medication is safe or even necessary. You may be glad you did. Current research now indicates that cholesterol has very little to do with heart disease - but I don't expect or want you to believe me! Research this for yourself.

I ask only this - read the free information and opinions of the many prominent doctors and scientists worldwide and please consider sharing this information with others.

Why have I written? - because I was sadly misinformed myself on the risks of cholesterol-lowering medications, and I paid for this with my health. I want to try and spare others this same problem.

If you would like further information on my own research, or my personal experience, please write. I can be reached at jimlaura@caninet.com.

Sincerely, Laura
