SIDE-EFFECTS ALERT FOR ALL STATIN USERS AS DRUG IS LINKED TO DEPRESSION AND MEMORY LOSS

New health warnings are to be issued over popular cholesterol- lowering drugs after evidence that thousands of users suffer side-effects such as depression and sexual problems.

More than 6 millions adults are prescribed statins by their GPs will be told about five new 'undesirable effects' in leaflets issued with packets of the drugs. These include sleep disturbances, memory loss, sexual dysfunction, depression. But some doctors have criticised delays by the Government's drug safety watchdog, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. The MHRA signalled the need for updating warnings last year but disagreement about the wording have held up the changes.

Edward Priestly comments. 100s of prescribed drugs have many of these and other more serious side-effects. These side-effects are in addition to the previous ones where warnings are given of severe disabling muscle disorders caused by statins that can lead to kidney failure .

WI-FI: Consumer Health and Safety Advice

The EMF Consultancy started compiling information on the health issues related to wireless exposure about 1994. I was very close behind, starting with direct health effects as observed in people who started asking me about "mystery symptoms" that doctors could not diagnose.

We suggest that the health effects have worsened as the expansion of wireless applications, and soon digital TV, have expanded.

We also have some grave concerns about another of Intel's proposals for wireless observations of your health, and more.

Intel Looks To Blanket The World With Self-Powered Sensors
The wireless identification and sensing platform, or WISP, could be used for measuring the environment or inserted into the human body to detect medical problems.

And we also appreciate this report from Sweden, where the use of mobile devices is perhaps one of the highest, identifying that mobile device radiation alters memory. Perhaps seniors might want to limit cell phone use or other wireless use as the concern about Alzheimer's increases.
Your best defense is certainly to get educated about how WI-FI and wireless applications are altering your life, your health, and perhaps your mind (as in control).
