A Bombshell Drops on Cholesterol Medication’s Glass House
It had to happen sooner or later. On October 3, 2006, after extensive review of all studies relating to cholesterol-lowering benefits by statin drugs, scientists reporting in the Annals of Internal Medicine pulled the rug out from under the current government-sanctioned cholesterol levels for reducing cardiovascular disease. Their conclusion, “current clinical evidence does not demonstrate that titrating lipid therapy to achieve proposed low LDL cholesterol levels is beneficial or safe.”Read More: cardiovascular support, cholesterol, statins
Fat Fitness and Cardiovascular Health
On the cover of my book, The Leptin Diet, is the million dollar question, “How fit is your fat?” Scientists are now catching on to this concept and actively studying how a fit leptin system results in a fit metabolism and proper body weight that are likely to provide significant reduction in the development of cardiovascular disease.Read More: cardiovascular disease, heart disease, metabolic fitness, metabolism, statins, The Leptin Diet
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.Read More: cholesterol, drugs, muscle damage, side effects, statins
Pfizer – Lipitor Suit Moves Forward while Officials Flee the Law in Nigeria
Lipitor for lowering cholesterol (a statin) is the best selling drug of all time. A newly unveiled lawsuit based on information provided by a top former Pfizer exec now turned whistleblower is showing that this stroke of marketing genius was based on blatantly illegal marketing and pushing the drug on Americans who really did not need it. As the poster child for the statin scam Pfizer has likely damaged the health of millions of Americans. Now there is an attempt to hit them where it counts, in the pocket book.Read More: Big Pharma, drug experiments, FDA, Lipitor, Nigeria, Pfizer, statins
Vytorin Fraud Places all Statin Therapy in Question
Excessively lowering cholesterol has been the mantra of Big Pharma gone wild. Congressional investigation into a fraudulent cover-up of Vytorin study results led Merck and Schering-Plough to reveal what everyone had been suspecting, the main ingredient in their 5-billion-a-year scam failed miserably to do anything useful.Read More: diet, Exercise, heart disease, LDL cholesterol, statins, Vytorin
Vytoringate Builds Steam – Folic Acid Ignored
The Wall Street Journal now calls it Vytoringate – one of the biggest drug frauds in history. Merck and Schering-Plough sat on bad drug trial results of their cholesterol drug and raked in close to 10 billion dollars selling snake oil...Meanwhile, nobody seems to be mentioning that folic acid has already been proven to do what Vytorin was supposed to be doing.Read More: FDA, Folic Acid, heart disease, statins, Vytorin
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?Read More: atrogen-1 gene, Daily Builder™, Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin™, Daily Protector™, Daily Protein Plus™, Daily Protein™, Daily Super Pack™, dietary supplements, Hyaluronic Acid, ruptures, side effects, statins, tendonitis, tendons, Triglycerides
Low LDL Cholesterol Associated with Parkinson’s Risk
It is a rather sad commentary on American Heart Association’s and Big Pharma’s aggressive marketing of statin drugs that their abnormally low proposed levels of LDL cholesterol for heart health (<90) are the very same levels associated with a new study’s findings for a significantly increased risk for Parkinson’s disease.Read More: LDL cholesterol, Parkinson's, statins
Western Medicine Fails Tim Russert
The shocking death of Tim Russert last Friday has left an entire nation wondering what happened. He was a model patient, doing everything his doctors asked. All major media have run articles trying to explain the nuances and difficulties in treating coronary artery disease. These articles find little fault in Russert’s care, trying to create the idea that his heart attack was just too hard to predict and that all that could have been done for him was done. I beg to differ. His death represents the failure of standard medical care to produce a positive result – an occurrence that is all too common in today’s world.Read More: blood pressure medication, coronary artery disease, inflammation, long flight times, statins, Tim Russert
Insane Doctors Recommend Statins for Children
The American Academy of Pediatrics has now lost all credibility – actively promoting the use of statin drugs for children as low as 8 years of age. This is beyond disgusting, it is a crime. The inept FDA is nowhere to be found as drug pushing of inappropriate medication is rapidly becoming as large a public health problem as street drugs.Read More: statins
