Perdón, pero podrían ponerle subtítulos en español a esta plática, se los agredeceré.
@theacaiberry Right on.
@no49bus it was my understanding that vytorin is not a statin drug. it is supposed to be better because it is not a statin. red yeast rice used to lower bld cholestrol, until the pharmeceutical companies found out about it..then it lobbied to remove the ingredient out of red yeast rice that lowers cholestrol, and now, that useful ingredient has been removed.
check out another merck drug: fosamax…actually causing spontaneous breaking of bones that resemble that of being in a car accident. makes bones brittle. and a number of other side effects. dianne sawyer of abc news , pbs, have done pieces on the topic.
you mother might be on this drug!!!! i have a friend who takes care of a 83 yo lady who is now in the hospital from a fractured femur (w/o a fall) and she had a blood clot most likely caused by the a-fib that this drug also causes.
Excellent work,nice exposure
haha that was awesome! ;D
I want to know how these ‘statins’ appeared out of nowhere and are being pushed on everyone in the UK, especially over 60′s.
Statins can damage muscle tissue, right?
The heart is a muscle (mainly), too.
THINK about it, in years to come they will be found to have killed thousands with heart problems, but HEY – it lowered your cholesterol!
If my doctor asks me to take ‘statins’ I am gonna tell him to stick them up his ass!
These corrupt pharmaceutical giants are the same ones trying to peddle you mercury vaccines, etc.
Go see a chiropractor and change your diet
lower cholesterol test values mean nothing. the studies only show taking the statins lower the risk of cardiac events, but this is due solely to the statins anti-inflammatory effect not the lower cholesterol value. so take that cheap aspirin and tell your doc to suck a big one.
I started the program with the intention of taking Sterolyn for 90 instead of taking my cholesterol prescription meds. So that is what I’m doing. I have completed the 90 days with Sterolyn and the results are excellent. Total down from 276 to 196. LDL down from 203 to 134.
Be suspicious, be very suspicious.
WHY doesn’t the doctor get you to change you diet first?
They are just dishing them out like smarties because the government TELLS them to. ( Plus they get paid )
I will NOT take them, so my doc can shove them up his arse.
WHY were they rushed out so quick?
The NHS never has enough money, does it?
The government does NOT want you to live longer, the welfare state cannot afford it.
THINK ABOUT IT PEOPLE!!!!!
Michael Adams is soo hot! He turns me on.. He can be my “Health Ranger” anytime…
You are a quack my good sir.
And there is no good or bad cholesterol people! There is only one type. There are 2 different CARRIERS, LDL and HDL. LDL takes cholesterol to places in need, and HDL recycles it and takes it back to the liver, as cholesterol is a very complex molecule to make, so that your body saves energy by recycling it. On a side note, athletes should have a higher cholesterol count, as they are constantly building new cells. Cholesterol is also needed to maintain your myelin sheath.
Did I mention plaque is mostly made out of calcium? Also, SickRussian, Type 2 diabetes is entirely cure-able, managable, and usually your own damn fault for eating crap. No, its not genetic. I hate when people say ‘I’m diabetic and fat because my parents were.’ I say ‘No, your fat and diabetic because you adopted the same lifestyle that made your parents fat and diabetic.’ And as far as your liver is concerned, its not out to kill you. This would be counterevolutionary.
Yay fat!
Also, taking a statin to lower your risk of heart disease and get rid of plaque is not logical for another reason; rhabdomyolosis. So you think that high cholesterol clogs your arteries…so that means your heart needs to be stronger in order to move blood past those ‘plaques.’ But if you take something which weakens your muscles, and your heart is a muscle, you weaken the heart, which means blood is not pumped as efficiently….
When a cell or artery or anything in your body gets damaged, your body gets rid of it and has to make a new cell. YOU NEED CHOLESTEROL to build a cell membrane. So if you have high cholesterol, you are probably damaging your body in some way. Try not smoking, drinking alcohol, or ingesting fluoride, chlorine, fried foods, fast acting sugars, transfats etc, as these all cause arterial and cell damage.
The only people that need statins are those with familial hyperlipidemia, where the total cholesterol levels reach 350 or higher. For the other 99.9 percent of us, we do not need to be worried about the numbers so much as the size of the particle, and that can only be regulated by diet. You do not want cholesterol molecules too small, because they will get stuck in arteries where nutrients would normally get transported.
who paid you? ASSHOLE!
This is exactly pharaceutical companies are a big fraud. Why do you think the FDA is so against natural treatments? Exactly,because natural treatments like herbs can’t be controlled or patented by drug companies therefore interferring with their profits. Doctorsgo to medical school and learn what drug companies want them to learn, which is drugs and surgery. They are not even required to study nutrition. It’s all about the money with drug companies. I don’t care what you say.
Now I know you are an idiot if you don’t think pharmaceutical drugs are toxic. They all are. From the most powerful prescription to the supposedly harmless over the counter drugs they are all toxic to the body. And let me ask you this. What did people do before all of these miracle pills came to be? And no one is suggesting to let anyone die of anything. I don’t care what you say or how much knowledge you claim to have,the primary source of bad cholesterol is animal products and processed foods.
me and my family get to enjoy a life with no smallpox, whooping cough, polio, measles, type b meningitis… who do u think funded all of this research and development? Do you even have a clue what pharma companies end up profeting after taxation, paying staff, paying research, payment of running and operating QC labs and the list goes on? Again.. who pays for that? the government? no! pharma companies do! they make sure ungrateful people end up living longer to bad mouth them further.
And when you say they make billions of dollars… Well yes they do… who pays for research? Who pays the scientist? who pays for the drs to be educated? who pays for future progress of medical industry? without Pharma companies there would be no medication! Think back 20 yrs when outbreaks of all crazy kind of decease were everywhere! Do you see that now? wait i think answer is no! because pharma companies develop a vaccine to solve all your problems. Have you thanked them yet? Because of them
Your body still needs Cholesterol. If you design a drug that completely blocks of the HMG-CoA reductase you run into all sorts of trouble. the best method is to regulate it with different statin dosages. It all great for someone who has not been in the medical field to scream conspiracy and fraud, it is a bit different when you consider the genetic make up of people. Cholesterol is needed by your body you cant turn it off and solve the worlds problems. You need to control it.
