Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a stent inserted and on cardiprin (probably rest of my life) and Atorvastatin 40mg. I learnt about on long term statin will lead to muscle aching and weakness, kidney failure and dark urine. So its my interest to wean off statin, or hopefully a lower dosage in future. Then I came across Dr PPAR (http://www.drppars.com) which seems to be mother of all nature s super food and helps regulate the body in many ways, including lowering LDL. It contains super high content of grape extract but I understand grape fruit and grape juice must be avoided when on Atorvastatin. I intend to go on a healthy diet and at the same time consume PPAR in the hope that I can slowly wean off statin. What is your take on PPAR and is there a difference between grape extract as used in PPAR as compare to grape and grape juice which is forbidden to be consumed while on Atorvastatin?
