Your web site is not only about statins is it?
I think your agenda is clearly anti-drug at all cost to the detrement of
those in need of them. It is intended to scare people off of every single
drug out there by implying that all doctors are on the take. Having the
doctor sign anything does not decrease the drug interactions and side
effects nor the prescibing patterns of any given doctor. In short it does
nothing as it is not inforciable in court or is that your entire agenda is
money?

Keep on scaring people off their medicine. Maybe your next step would be to
tell them to stop taking their insulin. Insulin deaths are pretty common not
only because of the direct effects on blood sugar coma but on what the
person is doing at the time. They can pass out on the highway and kill
somebody else as well. Maybe they should ban insulin or have the doctor sign
a statement they don't have any financial interests to the insulin
manufacturer who manufacturers many other drugs as well.

So the only solution is no longer dosage effects but if only one person gets
nerve damage at any dose then everybody should stop taking the drug.
Your message is loud and clear.

Your extreme bizarre position is like peeing into the wind. Nobody will come
close to you and for all practical purposes makes you a troll.
