Guest guest Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 For those who have friends or associates that still beleive in statins and that these drugs will protect them from death from a heart attack, here is a way you can show them that these drugs do not work. You have to show them the BIG picture: Remind them first of medical history. Major health problems in the past were irradicated by vaccines, the invention of penicillian, etc. When rickets became an epidemic, vitamin d supplementation virtually wiped rickets off the planet. Now lets fast forward to the last four decades. In the 1970's, Heart disease was the number one killer in the united states. Cholesterol was named as the culprit. Major medical efforts to lower cholesterol began, and soon after, the powerful statin drugs were developed. Millions upon Millions of people have taken these cholesterol lowering drugs for over the course of 35 years. And today, half of our USA senior population are on statins. Yet HEART DISEASE REMAINS THE NUMBER ONE KILLER. Folks, It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out. Despite 35 years of cholesterol lowering with no success on heart disease, people are still buying, and the drug companies are still selling. Your Honor, people of the Jury, I think 35 years is long enough. I rest my case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
