My mother is actually part of a lawsuit against a drug company. They gave her an osteoperosis drug which was known to cause necrosis of the jaw. Of course, they didn't tell her.

She also was almost given Alzheimers by her statin drugs.

This is terrible news. Not only do doctors receive money from the drug companies for prescribing their drugs, but they're now immune to legal action? This is terrible. It's a fantastic example of our government obeying the lobbyists and doing the thing least in our interest.

According to these articles it seems like Statin has no significant relation to Alzheimer's at all. We don't even know what actually causes Alzheimer's yet. And even if Statin led to permanent cognitive side-effects (which according to the FDA it doesn't, as stated in above link) it still would only have increased the probabilty to suffer from Alzheimer's, not caused it. That's a major difference. If that stuff really, without fail actually caused Alzheimer's, it would be banned ASAP.
