Stress has more deleterious effects on the heart than cholesterol – 1/2 of all heart attacks occur in people with normal cholesterol levels. – Paul Rosch, MD
In drug trials, the pharmaceutical companies often divide similar adverse effects into 6 different categories to keep scarier side effects under 1%. Statin drugs deplete the body of an important antioxidant (CQ10) – with muscle wasting/heart failure as a result. It’s been documented from biopsies – severity of heart failure correlates low levels of Q10.
Why is ‘high cholesterol’ imbedded in our consciousness as a sure-fire sign of future heart attacks? Dr. Uffe Ravnskov, MD – Danish physician says – “It started with the Framingham Heart Study, which followed healthy people in the early 1950s to see who had a heart attack and what distinguished them from the people who did not. High cholesterol was one risk factor – but only one of more than 240 others. Public health officials, cardiologists, etc., have confused a statistical association with causation. It’s as if they saw a house burning and determined that the bigger the fire, the more fireman are present – then concluded: firemen cause burning houses.
Dr. Ravnskov also makes a case for high cholesterol as protective against cancer and infectious diseases w/ published studies that found higher rates of infectious disease among hospitalized people with low cholesterol levels and higher cancer rates in people with low cholesterol levels.
Side effect reports have implicated Lipitor as a cause for severe neuromuscular degeneration. People using Lipitor for 2 yrs, or more report symptoms similar to multiple sclerosis or ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease). – Jonathan Campbell (www.newmediaexplorer.org)
Research indicates – people who lower cholesterol level with statins – run a higher risk of cancer than those whose levels stay raised.
