Study Showing Vytorin Does Not Improve Heart Disease Prompts Return To Older Statin Drugs

[oigen]

Ever wonder why and how the current cholesterol levels were established. They were quite simply adjusted downwards by edict in response to complaints by the white coats conducting trials for statin efficacy some thirty years ago because they couldn''t find enough people over the age of 50 with levels over 240 mg/dl (6.2 mmol/l), the then norm for that age bracket, to sufficiently power their trial studies. So the medical cartel to the glee of Big Pharma arbitrarily, by fiat, declared that 200 should be the norm for everybody. Of course this resulted in providing participants galore for cholesterol studies and statin therapy for practically the whole of the nation. And we have been stuck with these artificial levels ever since with the alarming result that our drinking water is now laced with it. The cholesterol hypothesis is the mother of all scams for cholesterol at any level is not a cause of heart disease.........http://tinyurl.com/2nylpn

In addition to pharmacuticals peddling their drugs on TV...I now see commercials advertising surgeries for hip replacement parts etc. Give me a break! They got rid of cigarette commercials...now lets get rid of drug pushing commercials!!!!

When will these poisons be taken off the market? Statins are the most profitable drugs of Big Pharma with no proven results. The Cholesterol Scam is the Greatest Scam in History.
