high cholesterol
"I was prescribed Simvastatin for high LDL cholesterol.  After taking it as prescribed for several months,  my cholesterol levels did reduce to healthy levels.  I continued the treatment,  until I realized that nothing I was eating tasted right.  I consulted my Pharmacist because I take other medications,  and he said it was the statin that had this side-effect.  I stopped taking it immediately,  and my taste has returned to normal,  and my cholesterol is elevated again.  I will be trying other methods to increase HDL and reduce LDL.  After much research, it is clear that statins are dangerous."
