I enjoyed reading Dr. Gravelines latest newsletter. It contained a lot of good information. A reference was made in the newsletter to upcoming “Appearances and Media”. On Feb 6, The People’s Pharmacy column appeared in the Houston Chronicle and was supposed to discuss Dr Graveline’s research and the misleading side effects of statins. I was disappointed to find that The Chronicle cut the statin segment from the printed article. The online version on The Chronicle’s web page has the complete People’s Pharmacy article at ww.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/health/3635294.html but the printed copy, cut the statin segment and promoted the segment about lip balm to the headline segment.. There is no comparison between the serious side effects of statins and lip balm. It’s frustrating that it’s so difficult to get the statin side effect information out via the media
