My doctor put me on symvistatin when I turned 50. He said it was a preventive for heart disease and high cholesterol .I have taken this for 15 yrs.i would wake up so sore every morning and my legs would hurt so bad, I had no idea what was happening. I have stopped taking this, and in 1 day, I could tell a tremendous improvement in my pain.unbealievable this was my problem with pain.

I recently asked a pharmacist about the effectiveness. She gave me her option, that they are effective and side effects are very low. I asked about the number to treat she said 'that's research'. Left me scratching my head and no better off.

A PYGMY IN THE RAINFORESTS OF BRAZIL KNOWS MORE ABOUT THE HUMAN BODY THAN A CONVENTIONALLY TRAINED DOCTOR. GIVE IT WHAT IT NEEDS AND YOUR BODY HEALS ITSELF.
