We Are Sleep-Walking Into What Could Become A Major
Medical Disaster Because Statin Drugs Will Soon Be Sold

Holoprosencephaly (defective septum separating lateral
cerebral ventricles, with cerebral dysfunction), atrial
septal defect, aortic hypoplasia, death at one month of age.
Aqueductal stenosis with hydrocephalus, concurrent limb
deficiency
Cerivothoracic-to-lumbar neural-tube defect, myelocele,
duplication of spinal cord, cerbellar hernation with
hydrocephalus; apparent agenesis of palate
Spina bifida, right-arm abnormality
Left leg: femur 16% shorter than right side; foot: aplasia
of metatarsals and phalanges 3,4 and 5; additional VACTERL
(vertebral, anal, cardiac, tracheal, esophageal, renal and
limb defects): left renal dysplasia, reversed laterality of
aorta, disorganized lumbosacral vertebra, single umbilical
artery; additional findings: clitoral hypertrophy, vaginal
and uterine agenesis. It always amazes me that some things
seem to strike terror into the hearts of mankind whilst
other, much more dangerous things, are accepted with a shrug
of the shoulders. As my son has taken to saying ‘Yeh,
whatever.’
Around the world, for example, car crashes wipe out
thousands of people each and every day, yet few people worry
about getting into a car. On the other hand, one plane comes
down; killing a couple of hundred, and it hits the front
page of the newspapers around the world. And we are all
nervous about getting into planes – especially the
landing bit.
The things that frighten us, it seems, bear absolutely no
relationship to the level of risk that they represent.
Looking at a medical example of irrational fear, the world
still reels in terror at the word “thalidomide.”
However, it turns out that this drug provides huge benefits
in the treatment of myeloma – who would ever have
thought? Yet, it is almost impossible to prescribe
thalidomide to many who need it, due to extremely strict
controls on its use. Which is completely mad, because it
only has one major side effect, which is to cause birth
abnormalities in pregnant women.
So, why is it so difficult to prescribe it to a seventy-year-
old man? Because it is thalidomide, and thalidomide is
scary.
On the other hand, in the UK we are going to allow statins
to be made available over the counter and - hey, guess what?
If you are a woman, and you get pregnant whilst on statins
there is a massive risk of severe, horrible birth defects.
Worse defects than were ever caused by thalidomide.
At least thalidomide didn’t affect the brain,

there is a massive risk of severe, horrible birth defects.
Worse defects than were ever caused by thalidomide.
At least thalidomide didn’t affect the brain, causing
‘defective septum separating lateral cerebral
ventricles’, or ‘duplication of the spinal
cord.’ Duplication of the spinal cord!
We are sleep-walking into what could be a major medical
disaster. Most people, and most doctors, are unaware –
or don’t seem to care – that statins should
never ever be taken by a women of child-bearing age. The
risk, it would seem, is greater than that posed by
thalidomide, and no-one seems to be the least bit bothered.
‘Yeh, whatever.’
Yet, when statins go OTC it is absolutely certain that women
of childbearing age will take them, knowing nothing of this
risk. It is equally certain that a number of these women
will become pregnant, and many of these pregnancies will
result in horribly deformed children.
How can this possibly be allowed to happen? I can only
suppose that it is because everyone believes statins to be
utterly safe and cuddly. ‘Statins, why they
can’t do any harm. They are safer than aspirin
aren’t they?’
Left arm: aplasia of radius and thumb, shortened ulna;
additional VACTERL (vertebral, anal, cardiac, tracheal,
esophageal, renal and limb defects): left arthrogryposis,
thoracic scoliosis, fusion of ribs on left, butterfly
vertebra in thoracic and lumbar region, esophageal
stricture, anal atresia, renal dysplasia; additional
findings: hemihypertrophy of entire left side, craniofacial
anomalies (including asymmetric ears, ptosis of eyelids,
high arched palate), torticollis. I am quite certain that
many of you won’t know what some of these defects
actually are; neither do I. Arthrogryposis…..
isn’t that the fabled winged beast in Harry Potter?
But these defects shouldn’t exactly come as a
surprise. Cholesterol is essential for the development of
neural tissue, so we should expect to find that if the
mother is taking a drug that inhibits cholesterol synthesis
at a time when the fetus is developing – horrible
developmental abnormalities will occur. Such as failure of
the brain to develop in the right way, or duplication of the
spinal cord.
For more complete details of the birth defects caused by
statins consider reading the New England Journal of
Medicine, April 8, 2004: pages 1579 – 1582. It’s
a letter by Robin J Edison and Maximilian Muenke.
