transthyretin amyloidosis-caused by mutations in the TTR gene. More than 100 mutations in the TTR gene have been found to cause transthyretin amyloidosis. Nearly all of these mutations change one protein building block (amino acid) in the transthyretin protein.
Statins deplete your body of CoQ10, which can have devastating results. If you take statin drugs without taking CoQ10, your health is at serious risk. If you have symptoms of statin damage, such as muscle pain, take anywhere from 200 to 500 mg of CoQ10 or ubiquinol, which is the reduced form.
Warnings and Precautions With Statins. Because statins can affect the liver, they should be used with caution in people who drink more than a moderate amount of alcohol or who have a history of liver disease. Healthcare providers do not normally recommend statins for people who already have liver disease or high liver enzymes.
