Statins Cause Type 2 Diabetes

The statin scam is one of the worst examples of how Western medicine has

sold several hundred billion dollars of a near worthless drug to millions of

Americans, conning the gullible into believing that a better number on paper

as the result of taking a drug somehow equates to an improvement in health.

The latest nail in the statin coffin shows that women who consistently take

their statins, as their doctors so happily instruct them to do, have a

whopping 71 percent increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

The research* is based on 161,808 postmenopausal women aged 50 to 79 years

at 40 clinical centers across the United States. The researchers are from

the University of Massachusetts Medical School and Harvard Medical School.

In other words, this is mainstream Western medicine research.

Just as important as the study results is the bewildering press release. It

tries not to alarm anyone, puts a bizarre spin on the risks and benefits of

statins, and suggests that you " be sure to talk to your doctor, " (the same

person who has been poisoning you).

The question is, how can the " benefit " of a drug that causes a disease known

to drastically increase the risk of heart disease be good for long-term

heart disease prevention? The answer: It's only " good " if you are trying to

put children and healthy people (the new target market for statin idiocy) on

these drugs.

Needless to say, the scholars at these prestigious think tanks could not

figure out why statins cause diabetes. They still haven't quite figured out

the basics of how the human body works and what statins are doing to it.

Let me give them a few clues. Statins are anti-energy by core means of

operation. Any time you reduce the energy function of a cell you reduce the

ability of that cell to burn calories as fuel. This creates metabolic

inefficiency and insulin resistance, with increased fatigue and eventual

Type 2 diabetes.

The medical profession cannot be trusted to make correct decisions for

patients when its fundamental philosophy of treating numbers on paper with

drugs is more important than the person in front of them. Certainly some

people are in difficult cardiovascular situations wherein the many risks of

statins may be offset by a short-term benefit. Taking statins short-term

would give a person time to get their act together. This type of situation,

however, represents a small percentage of people on these drugs. For the

majority, the serious risks of developing heart disease or Type 2 diabetes

outweigh the benefits. Of course you would like better cholesterol numbers.

However, you want those improved numbers because you are healthy, not

because you took a sledgehammer to the core system of survival in your body.

There is no shortcut to a higher quality of health.
