A growing body of clinical research now indicates that the cholesterol-lowering class of drugs known as statins, is associated with over 300 adverse health effects -- research boldly flying in the face of national health policy, medical insurance premium guidelines, statin drug manufacturer advertising claims, and the general sentiment of the public, with approximately 1 in every 4 adult Americans over 45 currently using these drugs to "prevent heart disease."
The Cholesterol Myth
For well over 40 years, statin drugs have successfully concretized a century-old myth about the primary cause of heart disease: namely, that cholesterol "causes" plaque build up in the arteries, ultimately leading to obstruction of blood flow, and subsequent morbidity and mortality.
Indeed, the medical establishment and drug companies have been singing the praises of this "cholesterol myth," to the tune of 25 billion dollars in statin drug sales, annually.
While it is true that oxidized low-density lipoprotein is found within the atheromatous plaque that is found in damaged arteries, it is less likely a cause than an effect of heart disease. The underlying damage to the lining of the artery, which could be infectious, chemical, stress and/or nutritionally-related, comes before the immune response that results in plaque buildup there. Blaming LDL cholesterol for causing heart disease, is like blaming the scab for the injury that caused it to form, or, like blaming the band-aid for the scab it is covering -- this is, after all, the inborn and fatal flaw of allopathic medicine which focuses only on symptoms of disease, which it then -- fool-heartedly -- attempts to suppress by any chemical means necessary.
Death By Statins?
No one can deny that statins do exactly what they are designed to do: suppress cholesterol production and reduce measurable blood serum levels. The question is, rather, at what price do they accomplish this feat, and for what ultimate purpose?
With the National Cholesterol Education Program Guidelines, having been designed by "experts" on the payroll of statin drug manufacturers, requiring ultra-low levels to obtain a strictly theoretical and numerical definition of "health," statin drugs are guaranteed to receive first-line treatment status in the goal of the preventing and treating heart disease through lipid suppression.
What is at question here, is whether the unintended, adverse effects of this chemical class of drugs are less, the same or worse than the purported "cardiovascular" benefits they provide?
Fundamentally, statin drugs damage the muscles and nerves in the body -- so much so that a dose as low as 5 mg a day can kill a human. There are well over 100 studies demonstrating the myotoxic, or muscle-harming effects of these drugs, and over 80 demonstrating the nerve-damaging effects, as well.
When you consider that a vast proportion of our body is comprised of muscles and coordinating nerve systems, this drug has the potential to cause damage to the entire body, and undoubtedly does so universally, differing only in the matter of degree -- the damage occurring acutely in those at the tip of the iceberg, asymptomatically in the majority of others at the base.Moreover, statin myotoxicity is not exclusive to skeletal muscle. If you consider that the heart is also a muscle, in fact, is our most tireless muscle, an obvious red flag should go up. It is a remarkable fact that it took over 40 years before the biomedical research and publishing fields were able to produce a human study, like the one published in the Journal of Clinical Cardiology in Dec. 2009, showing that statin drugs, despite billions of advertising/marketing dollars to the contrary, actually weaken the heart muscle.
These results, while disturbing, are to be expected given the well-known problem associated with statin drug use, namely, the inhibition of the mevalonate pathway necessary to produce the heart-essential nutrient coenzyme Q10. Coenzyme Q10 deficiency itself may be a major contributing cause to heart disease. There is also research that statin drugs deplete the body of the cardioprotective minerals (and associated mineral-protein complexes) zinc and selenium. This finding may also explain why rates of heart failure may be increasing in the general population given these drugs.
While the discovery that statin drugs, instead of preventing heart disease, likely contribute to it, is surprising and counterintuitive, it should not distract from the more disturbing discovery that they contribute to over 300 disease and/or adverse health effects.
Millions of statin drugs users around the globe are risking their lives on a bad bet that taking a magic chemical pill will reduce their risk of dying of a disease that is not caused by a lack of the drug. What is more likely to happen, however, is that the quality and duration of their lives will be reduced, profoundly, along with billions of dollars of squandered cash that could have been spent on authentically medicinal and cardioprotective foods, nutrients, minerals and vitamins.
In light of these findings, a very serious question is raised: are those who are party to the manufacture, promotion, administration and/or prescribing of this chemical class of drugs, in violation of the medical ethical principle of informed consent? And is this ethical violation, insofar as it results in injury to those who have been mislead and/or coerced to take these drugs, also a legal/criminal one?

How then do you reverse atherosclerosis if it isn't through reducing the cholesterol concentration in the bloodstream?
diet
If our muscles and brain need cholesterol, then it may not be an issue of cholesterol in the arteries. I have read a lot about calcium build up in the arteries and Vitamin K2 can prevent that and direct the calcium to the bones where it needs to be. I think dairy products are to blame for that. We are the only mammals who consume dairy after we are weaned -- whether it be human breast milk or toxic baby formula. Have also read that statin drugs are the leading cause of memory loss -- that cholesterol is a large percentage of brain tissue. Brain tissue destruction anyone? Thank you big pharma for slowly killing us while you make a profit of 25 billion on one class of products alone!
Take foods and liquids that reduce arterial inflammation and increase arterial repair, which goes hand in hand with reducing hypertension. Something misunderstood about essential hypertension is that it has no cause. It has a definite root source. Often times, it is simple dehydration for which the body has no recourse other than to squeeze its massive empty arterial lumen volume down with vasoconstrictive molecules in order to maintain pressure and velocity with less blood volume. Or maybe the kidneys are desperately trying to get rid of a toxin in the bloodstream, and cranks up the blood circulation. In order to do this, the arteries must actively flex themselves and generate mechanical stress on themselves, which also are made of...muscle along with collagen, elastin, integrins, proteoglycans, and a few other things I am forgetting. Just as your bicep muscles are sore with damage after too strenuous exercise, your arteries get damaged and sore too. These sore and torn up arteries emit something called inflammatory cytokines which cause your liver to crank out "acute phase reactant" clotting factors and LDL to patch up the damage in your arteries (and other muscles everywhere) until the time your arteries naturally regrow themselves bigger just like your biceps and other skeletal muscles. If your arteries are constantly being injured, your liver will just continue to crank out fibrinogen and acute phase reactants over decades until the arterial scabs pile one on top of each other as something cardiologists call a complex plaque. This and your white blood cells trying to clean up the dump site is what gums up your pipes after several decades of being alive, not cholesterol magically sticking to the inner lining of your arteries. After drinking a few glasses of pure water, the blood volume is larger, the body then secretes less high blood pressure hormones, and the arteries relax and stop flexing themselves down relieving the mechanical injury. Secondary causes of hypertension may be rigid arteries from chemicals such as too much alcohol which embalms you from inside out, or not enough vitamin D which affects the renin-angiotensin system. Stop smoking. This is like pouring rusting particles into your car engine. Obviously it won't last long if you do that. LDL is the fixit spackle for the holes in the wall. Yes, obviously the spackle didn't put the holes in the wall before it was put into the holes!
I've been taking statins for years and have had nothing but positive results. How long I've been taking them and just exactly which statin..uh..umm..I forget.
My husband went to the emergency room with anxiety attacks which he always got whenever we had to travel, we were traveling the next day, they said he had a heart attack and it was imperitive that he has a triple bypass immediately, I was besides my self, and all alone here, no family and no friends so I let it happen, a triple bypass, 350,000 and everyone is still laughing at me in NY. He had nothing wrong with his heart, I'm sure of it, he never had a pain, he had been examined a month before and he was fine, heart, Cholesterol , the works, over the years he was given Liopator, I didnt' want him to take them, I said we would use diet and exercise and the Doctor hit the ceiling, so he took the lipator until he had heart failure, then he had to take coumadin because his blood needed help to get through his clogged arteries, then he finally had congestive heart failure, I asked if he could be taken off the rat poison and they said absolutely not.
I know all of these things are killing him and there is nothing I can do, he got the congestive heart failure because the Doctor gave him too many water pills and he lost 40 lbs in 2 days, adn then said I should have had a Doctor taking care of my husband besides him, he is not an MD, this is what I am up against here . I want to take him to cleveland clinic but now he can't travel,Cleveland clinic thinks Lipator is OK too so now I am thinking twice
about them, he is now 78 years old, I managed to keep him going with excellent food, all organic and low fat and sodium. maybe I can get some help elsewhere , I can only try. I doubt whether any of my husbands Doctors ever read a medical Journal.
I brought my Mom here in perfect health and put her in a nursing home, in a year she was dead, she died of a staph infection from operations on her diabetic feet that i was not told about and I couldn't even sue because her nursing home is owned by the carlysle group.I have a fungus on my foot that seems ot just keep hanging on, I got it from some chinese shoes with bad dye, the skin Doctor saw it and ran and the nurse came in and gave me a cortesone shot, I don't take medicaine, I've never been sick,then he gave me steroid cream that made me dizzy but did help the fungus which is still there but not half as bad, he more or less dimissed me and when I asked him what I had he said you have dry itchy feet, that is not what he told me before that, so now I can't sue the place I bought those shoes and who knows how long I will suffer with this depressing disiease.I also have only one dry intchy foot, and it has now spread to my hand LOL, If this is modern medicine you can keep it. I live in Illinois, and I'm from NY, I'll never get used to the Doctors or the Hospitals here and I am trying to find a place to live in Pa. where they have excellent heart hospitals, I hope it isn't too late for my husband, I really do. Its as if they know exactly when you are going to get the next major heart failure, some of the Doctors can't believe it when they see him and he is still walking. I can see the shock on their faces.

My doctor insisted over and over than i should take a statin. I never would as I had no symptoms of heart trouble and my body reacts badly to chemicals and medications, and he appeared to lose interest in my health issues. I have another doctor now. But between the two i had to do internet research and solve some other problems myself. My husband took statins after a major heart attack and had a bad reaction in his muscles, so stopped them. I'm so glad, or he might not have lasted as long as he did. if this article is correct.
I was on two medications for my high triglycerides, one made my arms hurt, I was taken off that, the other made my legs hurt and face me migraines, I'm now off that and just taking Fishoil for Omega-3. It's working pretty good sor ar as well as diet an exercise. However I do have joint pain now and will not take the meds my doctor prescribed me. I found a great natural herbal remedy that reduces my pain to almost zero pain. Alternatives are out there, you just have do your homework.
high "bad" cholesterol is due to deficiency of sulfur

Try Olive Oil 1 teaspoon a day..Its much much better,and then on the Other hand Stay away from ALCOHOL,It puts fat in the blood its called TRYGLICERIDES that they don't tell you about.And most of it is HEREDITARY and in the genetic makeup too.Look at all the mummies they Cat Scanned,They all had artery and heart disease and there was no TOBACCO BACK THEN
Dr Malcom Kendrick has written many books on the evils of statins. He conductd longitudinal studies into heart disease and cholesterol the results showed those countries with higher cholestrol intake had lower levels of heart attacks!He has a video on you tube addressing the BMA its quite long but worth watching. There is also a web site www.theinternationalnetworkofstatinsceptics for those who would like further information.
so confront doctors who push the pills?
Be polite, but also be steadfast. MD's and pharma corporation executives have paid lots of money and time into their profession and have much to lose by being proven wrong. Human nature causes these people who have made investments in their lives to resist what threatens their understanding of life despite that it may actually be wrong. So knowing this, you may understand their stubborn denial of the facts - that statins are originally microbially derived poisons that happen to lower cholesterol, but cholesterol is not the cause of atherosclerosis but a symptom of it. (Of course if you shovel pork chops and trans-fat cakes into your face, get fat, and smoke cigarettes, there are several things about that which will cause atherosclerosis that are not cholesterol including the major culprit "inflammation.") Half of all heart disease patients begin with normal LDL until they are blasted with a volley of high dose statins that cause heart failure because the heart is a muscle and statins are myotoxic, melt away the brain's cholesterol to cause amnesia, and other averse side effects. A doctor never tells you to stay hydrated, take lots of antioxidants, vitamins, amino acids, and minerals because not only are they not taught this, but they also make no money this way!! A medical doctor may be seriously good at knowing anatomy and physiology, and extremely well trained to do the math of the body, but they still may not understand the mechanisms of the drugs they are prescribing nor disease causation. AMA allopathic medicine is a reaction oriented system. Doctor see, doctor do. Doctor sees symptoms, doctor responds to symptoms. Of course you all reading this know that the symptom is a manifestation of the underlying disease, not the cause of the disease.
Having avoided them for years saying I would only consider them after my birthing and breast feeding years, I finally succumbed to the 'hereditary high cholesterol' argument. I lasted 3 weeks of blinding head aches and idiocy.. really I'm talking drooling fool here. My ability to reason left me so that I couldn't even understand what was wrong with me but could hardly finish a sentence. All those years of being anti prescribed drugs yet it took someone else to say are you sure its not the Statins !!!
I stopped them immediately and the headaches disappeared immediately in fact all symptoms were gone within days.
A course of co-enzyme Q10 saw me firing on all cylinders by the time I confronted the Doctor about the dire results of their work and was told... "mmm well I've heard of the headaches but not the rest... can you take them again to see if it happens again" !!!!!
Not often I swear at Docs, but blimey there were some choice words!
My advice is don't go near them, they can affect the essential you-ness that would defend yourself against their side effects.
Of course, this article is written by someone with aboslutely no vested interest. Someone with no interest in driving people to sites with paid for content, offering paid for 'treatments' and no chance of deriving income from click-through advert links
Isn't it?
Of course, she supports the theory that underlying damage to the lining of the artery could be infectious, chemical, stress and/or nutritionally-related.
If she did, I can't see it.
Yet another manifestation of the Kruger-Dunning effect
You-ness=that is the word that describes what many
of the victims of statins are losing! Those people just
aren't themselves anymore. It is as if their very soul was
somehow in a heavy fog. The question is: Is this a
planned result of the very real 'dark force' that is seeking whom he may devour? The pit of hell is a very deep place.
when I took these statins for a few months I started to have memory problems, I couldn't think straight. then I read about how statins could do that so I stopped taking them. Now my memory is back to normal.
myotoxicity leads to nephro destruction yields aneurysmal weakness...............is big money to referers, hospitals, and drug companys....
I'm lucky to be with a clinic run by a doctor (DO) who believes in alternative approaches and uses drugs very sparingly. It's too bad there are so few like him... In my opinion, the best course of action is to avoid doctors as much as possible, and to educate yourself as much as you can so that you can take care of yourself with supplements etc.
On the occasions when you can't avoid seeing a doctor, don't just take the drugs he will push at you without any question. Go online and research whatever you have prescribed to you, and if it looks like "the cure is worse than the disease," don't fill the prescription!
The main thing is to stay out of the system; they'll get you on a drug, and you'll get side effects. The doctor will not admit that the problem is side effects, and will push something else at you to deal with those symptoms. That in turn will cause yet more side effects, and so on. Eventually you'll be so sick that you won't be able to travel to get better help, and then you're truly in trouble. Stay out of their clutches!

I am an expert in this field, so pay attention.
Atherosclerosis is a form of scurvy (inflamation)occuring within the artery wall.
Arterial stiffness is caused by a process of glycosis (a cross linking of molecules within the artery wall as well as a build up of deposits of micro cholesterol which are lying beneath the endothelium. These can foam up and cause an anurism to occur (blockage).
Both LDL and HDL have a role in the body, it is the balance between the two which is critical (not so easy to do with a chemical drug).
You can obtain a good balance using Parent Essential Oils (DO NOT TAKE FISH OIL!)
Also take Vit C in a liposomal form to eliminate inflamation.
The effect of these two substances will hugely reduce the chances of heart attack/stroke.
There is nothing better.
At 53, I've been off Lipitor for two years and have recovered somewhat, but don't think I'll ever get back to the level of fitness I enjoyed before starting the drug. During the time I was taking the statin, I lost muscle mass, became steadily weaker in my limbs, and, by the time I stopped taking it, couldn't walk to the back of the grocery store. Though all my cholesterol numbers were practically non-existent, the doctor insisted I keep taking it and prescribed more drugs to treat the symptoms I was experiencing. Drug reps in fancy clothes paraded into the office daily carrying gifts and unhealthy foods by the car load, incentives to garner favor for the drug du'jour.
Statins are evil. My doctor put me on simvastatin 1 & 1/2 years ago. After 4 to 5 months I felt terrible. I am usually energetic but started to feel terrible. I was lethargic, had headaches, knots would appear in my Achilles tendons, the muscles in my legs became weak. I couldn't function like I always had. I started reseaching others reactions to thus drug and there it was, over and over again, thousands of oeople posting the same complaints and many much, much worse. Finally the light bulb went off and I realized it was the statin. I stopped taking it and after a few days I started to feel a bit better. It took a full six months before I regained my previous quality of life. This is terrible stuff. Thanks for the info in these former posts.
this should be caused idiot post and not activist post. Fun to fear monger and all, but reality is that CV disease rates (the real outcome of interest) are reduced with statin use, pure and simple (even for the author). ALL DRUGS have side effects in large part because (surprise) they are selected as potent, bioactive molecules. the question is acceptable benefit vs. risk ratio, not is the drug "safe". Ji Sayer, pls get a real cause...
i took baycol and crestor and both times my right arm became useless. The last time i found out my muscle enzymes were off the charts. My liver enzymes also were off the charts, with the problems being a muscle enzyme called "aldolase" became extremely high, as well as the liver enzymes, in addition i think my creatin levels were also elevated. Oh i only have the one kidney too, not sure if that means anything though...
Niacin lowers cholesterol levels. Arterial Plaque is caused by oxidation, BUT they can be gradually reduced by take B-Complex (Niacin is one of the B Vitamins),also, to keep arteries from becoming brittle, lower calcium intake to 300mgs a day and increase magnesium intake, magnesium chloride is suppose to be the best, not only does it regulate calcium in the body, it also helps you relax. Hope this helps, especially for people 30 yrs and beyond.
About 10 ,years ago I was "diagnosed" with cardiomyopathy in one of the leading cardiovascular hospitals in N.Y. I was always suspicious about this diagnosis since after short preparation I was able do do very strenuous exercises like doing 5 miles run in 30 mins or less. Nevertheless I followed doctor advice and I took statins, namely lipitor as told. About nine months later I have developed recurring chest pains that were geting worse and worse as time went. I went to emergency at least three times because my chest pain was becoming unbearable. Accidently,while watching tv I saw Lipitor add, and what really peaked my curiosity was short statement saying that as "rare" side effect one my experience muscle pain in which cause he should consult doctor immediately. Right after I saw it I went on the internet and researched that topic. There I have found that in some cases Lipitor might cause muscle breakdown and product of that breakdown can destroy kidneys leading to death. I got really upset because NOBODY told me about such risks and I have suffered greatly for a long time. I have immediately put away Lipitor and after telling doctor about it he tried to set me up on some other statin crap. At that time I was adamant that I will not take any crap like that, moreover I also have quitted another crap that slowed my heart beat to the point that I was drowsy all day lond and spend up to 14 hours a day sleeping. That thing took like almost a year to reverse side effect. I had huge arrhythmia for good year afterwards with my heartbeat jumping up to 200 per min for almost no reason whatsoever, like turning on the other side in the bed. Today, I am perfectly well no arrhythmia, only rare, occasional slight pain on the side of my chest in the same place where I used to have that unbearable pain when I took the statins. My blood pressure is perfect and my arteries are clean as they always were. Yes I have slightly elevated bad cholesterol but I don't give a hoot about that anymore. I am sure that if I did not quit that pill crap at the time I did I would be dead today. As for cardiomopathy, that was bs as well, people with that ailment die within four years. From that time on I am very suspicious about any medication I was told to take, that includes all types of shoots. In short, I have come to a conclusion that many pills are pushed for profit and many are having such huge side effects that they outweigh potential benefit to the sick person.Shall I mention anti-cancer chemicals that alone might kill patient before he succumbs to the disease? Benefits of chemotherapy are slim to none but that is not mentioned in official medicine either.After all, there is ton of money to be made from the patient before he dies.
" ... are those who are party to ... , in violation of the medical ethical principle of informed consent?" YES
"And is this ethical violation, ... also a legal/criminal one?" YES
And how much money is the big-pharma-military-medical complex making off of these drugs, while at the same time, likely fully aware of the damage these things may cause?
Does anyone think that "getting rid of the costly vets" isn't part of this scam? Think again.
I'm a disabled vet and had "free health care" at the VA Hospitals. That is until I refused to take statin drugs (that's right, if vets refuse any of the very limited "cures", offered by our public servants, they lose their "free health care" benefits (never mind we paid for it with years of low pay and literally at higher than average costs to our physical and mental well being...and still pay these public servants via taxes...).
On my first visit, in hopes of treatment for other maladies, it was determined that I needed to go onto statin drugs right away. Strange, as my cholesterol levels had never been in the danger zone - as I was nearly at professional athlete level physical condition (due to my military job physical fitness requirements and personal love of athletics, no other bad habits) right up to the time I had to go them for medical reasons.
Not one of the VA Hospital medical staff I had to deal with ever showed or discussed my cholesterol test results (a first in 15 + years of testing); they just said I needed to go onto statins.
When I asked my assigned former VA Hosptial doctor about many reported side-effects of these drugs and that I wanted to know about alternatives, I was told "who's the doctor here?" That was it, end of discussion.
Either take what you're told or you're out of the system.
7 years on and no regrets and in fact my health has improved due to refusing to take their slow poisons and being booted out of that fine medical system.
These and many more abuses are very soon coming to and end. Once the USA's economy goes belly up, many people will return to more sane ways of going about life ... and the money grubbing parasite classes, sadly now including many in the medical "profession" will move on to another nation full of their next victims.
EDTA, and Pommegranite juice, will reduce buildup in the arteries. Co q 10 200 to 600 mg a day for heart health. Just watch any person they put on statins and you can see how toxic they are. Most people they put on them esp the elderly go down hill FAST. Stuff eats muscle faster and weakens hearts sooner than gasoline through a Styrofoam cup.
Statins are garbage, and there are no studies to date that conclude they support heart health no matter what big pharma says. I urge everyone to check out the Peoples chemist website, Shane Ellison really nails it with his take on statins. I'm also extremely satisfied with his Cardio FX which consists of Hawthorn, grape seed extract, magnesium and aged garlic which in his opinion is the ultimate supplement for a healthy heart and cardivascular system. All high quality ingredients to boot
People should ask their doctors at what level should their cholesterol be to reduce the risk of heart disease by how much?

Inflammation is the cause of bad arterial health. Polyunsaturated vegetable oils are very problematic and heart disease has accelerated since the demonization of natural animal fats and substituted with inflammation causing, high heat processed vegetable oils (elevated arterial homocysteine). The food processors lobby bears much of the blame for the disinformation. Sugar comes in a close second as a contributor of inflammation. We switched to lard at home from a local farm and grass fed red meats (which are as high in Omega-3 as fish). Outstandingly informative is the interview about why you should be eating high fat: http://joanneunleashed.com/2943/why-you-should-eat-high-fat-diet-interview-with-paul-jaminet/
We've thrown out the soy oils, canola, anything your great-grandmother didn't know about....shit-canned. We use olive oil (not to cook with) and we cook with lard or coconut oil. Both latter oils are traditional cooking oils that do not breakdown by heating.
Indians (from India) suffer high rates of heart disease despite the prominence of vegetarianism. Back before the processed vegetable oils, heart disease was relatively not very common and usually a complication from typhoid.
I've also had two wisdom teeth cavities cease to be a problem (i.e. not needing intervention with dentistry) after switching to grass fed raw (unpasteurized) raw milk. The logical fallacy of "biased sampling" is at hand here when we are told to dump the dairy and red meat. Yes, dump the store bought (pasteurized) milk drinks and the grain fed red meats and go for the grass fed meats and raw milk (see the documentaries "KING CORN" and "FOOD INC." which are also on NETFLIX instant). A good source of online info is the Weston A. Price Foundation.
Key here is the critical thinking which requires us to ask ourselves,
"Who do we listen to?"
Is it the M.D. allopath doctors and the source of their pharma funded med school and continuing education? Is it the FDA and their bought and paid for executives? Money changes everything, including most people's reality. An informative website about the heart disease myths.
