Cholesterol wackos target kids

 

Dear Friend,

 

I know you've already heard from me once today – and perhaps that's enough

–

but I just had to get this urgent news into your hands right away. Believe

it or not, drug companies and some mainstream docs are cooking up a scheme

that could put millions of kids on dangerous cholesterol drugs.

 

Kids on cholesterol drugs? I never thought I'd live to see the day. But

according to an AP report this morning, the American Academy of Pediatrics is

now

recommending that children as young as 8 years old be put on

cholesterol-Kids on cholesterol drugs? I never thought I'd live to see the da

 

If this isn't a racket to make more money, I don't know what is. I find it

mighty suspicious that this new recommendation came on the heels of several of

these drugs getting approved for use in children. Now, suddenly they want

kids to get screened as early as 2 years old. What's next & shy; giving the

drugs in vitro?

 

Dr. Stephen Daniels is on the AAP's nutrition committee ( " Nutrition

committee? " What a joke!). He said that this recommendation is " based on

mounting

evidence showing that damage leading to heart disease, the nation's leading

killer, begins early in life. " He went on to say that " recent research shows

that

" Generally safe? " How can that be? They're not even safe for adults! Side

effects include memory loss, cancer, and congestive heart failure!

 

I wasn't the least bit surprised to learn that Daniels is affiliated with

Abbott Laboratories and Merck & Co., two big time pharmaceutical companies with

cholesterol drugs. Of course, he was careful to state that he wasn't

involved with the companies' statins, but what difference does it make? The

bottom

line is the bottom line, as far as I'm concerned.

 

As you might expect, most of the kids that are considered " at risk " are

overweight, but rather than teaching them how to live a healthy lifestyle, their

doctors prefer to throw drugs at them. Just another quick fix everyone seems

to love so much. But here's what gets me:

* There's not much data on kids using these drugs

* There's no evidence that putting a child on statins will prevent a

heart attack when he gets older

* No one is saying how long the children will have to stay on the

drugs

The icing on this cholesterol cake is that you shouldn't even be lowering

your cholesterol to begin with. In fact, I would panic if my cholesterol

dropped below 200. Latest studies show that cholesterol levels of over 200

could

actually lower your cancer risk and slash your risk of stroke.

 

Do me a favor and pass this along to anyone who has young children. They

need to know to skip the screenings, and by all means, to turn their noses up at

the even the THOUGHT of putting their children on a statin drug. I'm not

kidding when I say that the future health and happiness of these children

depends

on it.

 

Looking out for the children,

 

William Campbell Douglass II, M.D.
