If you haven’t personally been affected by heart disease at this time in your life, you’re lucky. Heart disease has long been the leading cause of death in North America and Europe.
In response, cholesterol-lowering drugs such as Lipitor, Crestor, and Pravachol have become household names. These are statin drugs and they claim to fight heart disease.
If that sounds like a good thing then you have fallen for the pharmaceutical company’s billion-dollar lie.
Heart disease is not caused by cholesterol…
It’s true; low cholesterol doesn’t matter when it comes to heart attacks. Studies have proven it time and time again, but it’s worth it to Big Pharma to keep the truth hidden. Americans spent over $26 billion on statin drugs last year. Don’t waste another dollar before you learn the truth about heart disease and cholesterol.
Cholesterol has a bad reputation. Drug companies spend a huge amount of money to ensure this. The truth is that humans need cholesterol, and if they don’t have enough there can be serious side effects. People who lowered their cholesterol also weakened their immune system. On top of that it increased their chances of getting cancer, having an irregular heartbeat and experiencing severe memory loss.
A particularly famous case happened to NASA astronaut Dr. Graveline. In just six weeks of taking Lipitor he went from a brilliant flight surgeon to having a memory lapse every 6 hours. He wasn’t even able to recognize his own wife (he wrote a book about it, Lipitor – Thief of Memory, if you’d like to read his testimony). His memory problems completely stopped once he got off Lipitor and he was thankfully able to make a full recovery.
That’s not all, the statin drug trial, Prospective Evaluation of Pravastatin in the Elderly, or PROSPERS shows something surprising. The elderly actually benefit from higher cholesterol levels than the young. This may be due to the fact that cholesterol helps build and maintain body tissue by stabilizing cell membranes.
Cholesterol is also crucial to making up the myelin sheath. Myelin sheaths surround neurons and are what keeps our nervous system working. Without cholesterol and therefore myelin sheaths, our body would not be able to communicate from one cell to the next.
Therapeutic Initiatives, the medical journal of the University of British Columbia, analyzed major statin drug trials. People with all levels of cholesterol, not just those “at risk” were accounted for in the samples. Their analysis concluded that the drug trials all showed no link between lower cholesterol and arthrosclerosis.
Arthrosclerosis is the hardening of artery walls with a buildup of atherosclerotic plaque. This plaque contains cholesterol (as well as other substances the body produces naturally). There has been no found effect of cholesterol lowering drugs on their buildup of atherosclerotic plaque.
As I said before, heart disease isn’t caused by cholesterol.
Think about it, heart disease death has only increased since the introduction of statin drugs. If these drugs were effective then heart attacks wouldn’t occur every 34 seconds.
The scariest thing is that Lipitor and the bunch are more than ineffective – they’re toxic.
To review, statin drugs are the class of drugs used to stop cholesterol production. What is statin? Just an isolated poison derived from the red yeast fungus.
Yes, a poison.
Since statin drugs are prescribed with an ongoing frequency, one could hope that these drugs underwent some crazy clinical trials to ensure their safety before the FDA approved them.
Of course they didn’t, all statin drug trials in the 90s had the same subject; white middle-aged American men. The Journal of the American Medical Association used this point in 1995 and then again in 2004 to try and draw attention to shoddy drug trials. It took over 10 years for the trials to be redone on a representative population.
The new trials included gender and age variances, and their results were the same. Despite all the differences in the group’s participants, the results STILL showed zero evidence that lowering cholesterol is preventative of heart disease.
Wald & Law, medical professors at the University of London, are now recommending that each person on the planet should take a “drug cocktail” to eradicate heart disease. This cocktail is one part statin, 3 parts blood pressure lowering drug, 1 part aspirin, 1 angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, and 1 part folic acid.
The duo did not even do so much as begin a single study on the cocktail and its effects; they simply used old information from previous studies. The old information was then analyzed individually; the interactions between each drug in the cocktail were not measured or even accounted for.
There is such a lack of published support for this drug cocktail that I can only assume Wald & Law take the general public for idiots. How could this chemical cocktail seriously be recommended for every single person on the planet?
There is so much good a person can do to naturally fight heart disease. It’s nothing crazy; I certainly find it saner than ingesting a poisonous fungus daily and expecting a good result.
Lower your risk of heart disease by exercising moderately, avoiding sugars, eating more vegetables, losing excess fat and drinking less alcohol. All of these things can help prevent plaque buildup, clot formation and oxidative stress.
Omega-3 is fish oil and using it as a daily supplement has many benefits. Omega-3 strengthens blood vessels and joint health. It also is known for being a memory booster and regulating blood pressure.
