What is the Truth about LDLC Lowering Medications
A scientific review of 14 studies shows that statin drugs are virtually useless for prevention.
1 Shockingly, when reading this review, I found that it reports that over half the people on satin drugs get coronary artery disease anyway, plus, in a lager percent of the paitents, the drug set them up for Alzheimer′s disease and an avalanche of pharmaceutical-induced nutrient deficiencies that propel them toward accelerated aging.
In fact, there is a small but growing core or doctors, researchers and other health professionals who believe that cholesterol and fat have been wrongly convicted as the primary cause of heart disease. These health professionals have come to find the true cause of CVD, which as they tell it is: inflammation, oxidative damage, stress, and sugar.

The link above, as I have come to find out has been coming back broken, most likely due to the threats of lawsuits by the Medical Industry.
What is Cholesterol?
Cholesterol lowering via statin drugs has become a national obsession to such an extent that many think cholesterol is the primary cause of heart disease. Yet 50% or more of heart deaths have normal cholesterol levels.
There are many more serious and common causes that are ignored, yet curable without drugs. (Reference:
UCLA Health)
Why Treat Only The Symptoms?
The drug companies claim that high LDLC is a symptom of heart disease which needs to be lowered so as to prevent heart disease, but the facts of the matter is that your blood cholesterol level has absolutely no effect on whether you will have a heart attack or not.
Many people with low cholesterol have heart attacks. Too, many people with high cholesterol don′t have heart attacks. Most people think of cholesterol in a negative way, as if it were a poison. However, cholesterol actually plays a very important role in the functioning of the body and is found in every cell in our body; without it our bodies would not function properly.
Most would agree that true healing and a healthy lifestyle is the real quest. These people want reasonable and scientifically proven cures for life and not merely bludgeoning a symptom with the latest side effect ridden pharmaceutical.
What are the Side Effects of Cardiovascular Drugs?
The American Journal of Cardiovascular Drugs list for statin medication, the following confirmed side effects: anemia, acidosis, cataracts, chronic fatigue, Coenzyme Q10 deficiently, immune depression, exercise intolerance, high blood pressure, irritability, memory loss, myalgia (muscle pain), peripheral neuropathy (tingling, numbness or pain in the extremities), sexual dysfunction, sleeplessness, and thyroid disruption.
It goes on to state that these drugs may also cause: cancer, stroke, diabetes, auto-immune disease, digestive problems, kidney failure, liver problems, Luo Gehrig′s disease, lung problems, Parkinson′s disease, weight gain and death.
The Cholesterol Scam
These drugs have proliferated the market in such a way as to make a very impressive testimony to the power of marketing, corruption and corporate greed. Further, the odds are very high, that if you are taking a statin drug, you do not really need to take it.
In truth, more than ninety-nine percent of those who take LDLC lowering medications do not really need to take them.
