The Statin Scam Marches On

Considering that tens of millions of Americans now take statins to lower cholesterol, the following headline was conspicuously absent from the major media this month: “Statins Found to Turn On Gene that Causes Muscle Damage.” It’s now a fact of science; a new study shows that taking statins destroys your muscle to a greater or lesser degree. And let’s not forget that the heart is a muscle.

Pomegranate Shines in Cancer and Heart Health Research

Due to numerous scandals like Vioxx, the public has become very aware that almost all drugs carry serious side effects and using them in the name of prevention requires a mental exam for sanity. Pomegranate, like blueberries, is being thrust into the spotlight as a super-fruit able to ward off heart disease and cancer.

Heath Ledger Death Highlights Dangers of Medications

At least 100,000 Americans die every year from the expected as well as unknown side effects of toxic medications used primarily for symptom management. Another 3 million Americans require emergency room assistance to deal with injuries or severe side effects. In the case of Heath Ledger, the dangers in the combinations of the drugs he was taking are well known – except to him.

Cholesterol Medication Causes Tendon Ruptures

Painstaking analysis from a French medical database is the first to clearly link tendon injuries and tendon ruptures to the use of statins – a problem that is worse for middle aged men. How can anyone stay fit by injuring their tendons?

Silymarin in the War on Cancer

Silymarin (milk thistle) is the subject of intense scientific study relating to its ability to assist with cancer treatment. One of the obvious problems of cancer treatment is that the drugs used are toxic, exposing vital organs like your heart and kidneys to damage that limits the treatment. Silymarin has now been shown to drastically reduce the toxicity and damage of a potent chemo drug.

Are Statins Causing the Rising Rates of Heart Failure?

Quietly, another colossal drug debacle flies under the radar of the mainstream media. Last week, The New England Journal of Medicine reported that blood pressure medication is not effective in the treatment for the rapidly rising rate of heart failure in patients over the age of 65. This means that Western Medicine has no treatment for a relatively recent problem – one that I believe is a side effect of taking statins.

Brave Oxford Researchers Say Tamiflu is Not for Kids

Governments in the United States and Great Britain plan to use antiviral drugs as a first line of defense against the Swine Flu (along with experimental vaccines as they become available), especially in at risk groups such as young children. A new study by Oxford researchers published in the British Medical Journal questions the wisdom of this advice and points out that the risks are likely to outweigh the very slight benefits. (See full study and related commentary). It is worth noting that this is a conflict between government unelected bureaucrats in charge of “herd control” and doctors trying to evaluate the best interests of patients. Unfortunately, public health is never in the best interest of any one patient, and expects collateral damage. And what if that collateral damage is your child?

Scientists Document How Coumadin Increases Disease Risk

While doctors hand out Coumadin like candy, apparently because they have no idea how to get someone’s sticky blood to flow normally, patient’s livers were apparently not briefed on the strategy – an oversight that is likely to injure and speed the onset of age-associated disease. A new article in the prestigious American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reveals just how vital vitamin K function is to your health.
