Guest guest Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 ---------- " National Association for Honesty in Medicine " <info <47721-feedback-9 Tue, 3 Aug 2004 09:39:56 -0700 Weve sent the letter, below, to several reporters and editors. Please forward this message to as many people as you can reach. Feeling empathy and caring for others is the only true marker of being human. The Cholesterol Fraud The members of the media are being used for perpetuation of the cholesterol fraud against the American people. Recently, a widely publicized doctored report by an NIH panel, most of whose members are now known to have had a direct connection to manufacturers of cholesterol-lowering drugs, unveiled a much stricter guideline for cholesterol levels for people at risk of a stroke or heart attack. Unfortunately, this report, and the publicity given it, set up the people of this country for the use of more totally useless drugs. Science reporters should know that the blood for measuring cholesterol levels is taken from a vein in the arm. But at no time has there been a record of cholesterol ever having blocked a vein in the body! It is not the stickiness of cholesterol that causes the blockage of healthy blood vessel walls! The body uses cholesterol as a kind of bandage to cover abrasions and tears in its arterial walls. It is a life-saver. If you want to learn more about cholesterol go to http://www.watercure.com/Topics4.htm <http://rd.bcentral.com/?ID=2000530 & s=82347813> (cut and paste if necessary). Furthermore, cholesterol is the building block for all the hormonesPregnenolone, Dehydroepiandrosterone, Progesterone, Desoxycorticosterone, 11-Desoxycortisol, Testosterone, Corticosterone, Cortisol, 18-Hydroxycorticosterone, Aldosterone, Prostaglandins, Prostacylin and many other hormonesbrain cell membranes and the insulating material for all the nerves of the body. It is a precursor to vitamin-D, essential for prevention of osteoporosis. Why would you want to lower its levels without knowing the reasons the body has resorted to making more cholesterol? The pseudo-scientists who recommend more and more drugs for lowering cholesterol levels want to make money at the expense of the ill informed and trusting American public. Unfortunately the people in the media, knowingly or unknowingly, set the innocent public up for their sting. It is not as if the drugs pushed on people to lower their cholesterol are harmless, they do actually kill. Now that you have been informed of the true scientific thoughts on cholesterol and have become aware of the commercial reasons why the drug industry is so openly using the people in America as their captive cash caws, what are you going to do about it? Beware; these kinds of drug industry pseudo-science will eventually sting you too. From time to time, we will pick on medical issues that are based on pseudo-science, which have been used for commercial aims of the drug industry, and share our information with you. We believe, when the media is well-informed, the public will be well-served. Please join us in our effort to once again reintroduce the desirable qualities of honesty and integrity into the practice of mainstream medicine. Thank you. Sincerely, F.
