Discover the Uncensored Truth about Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs
Researchers urge caution over statin drugs:
"The pharmaceutical industry would lead us to believe that
rapidly bottoming out our natural cholesterol levels through the
use of their highly touted statin drugs is a relatively innocuous
process of definite benefit to society. But as we learn more each
day of this ubiquitous and unique substance, we must question the
veracity of their medical advisors. Cholesterol is perhaps the
most important substance in our lives." Duane Graveline, MD,
MPH.
Despite industry hype, there is no data, none, to show that
statins are an overall benefit to people without proven coronary
artery disease [CAD]. Putting people on a lifetime of medication,
when they do not have CAD, exposes them to health risks and major
financial costs, for possibly no benefit. Encouraging people to
put themselves on a lifetime of medication, in consultation with a
pharmacist, does not seem consistent with the goal of promoting
public health.
Before we pathologize millions of people as "hypercholesterolemic”,
society ought seriously to rethink how we go about the important
task of primary prevention of heart disease. Diet and exercise
seem likely to be cheaper, safer and more effective."
Professor Arthur Schafer, Director, Centre for Professional and
Applied Ethics University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Canada, commenting
on the recent decision to allow OTC simvastatin in the UK.
