A new study of 3,516 Italian patients prescribed statins for high

cholesterol looked into the issue of how well the therapy lowered cholesterol

and

the effect of therapy on the time to first hospitalization for a coronary

event.

 

 

Not surprisingly, using statins to take a sledgehammer to the body*s

natural system of cholesterol production did indeed lower the cholesterol

level,

especially in those patients who were very compliant to taking the drug.

 

 

Not surprisingly to me (but surprising to the pill pushing doctors), those

taking the statins most consistently also ended up in the hospital with a

coronary event sooner than the other patients – despite lower cholesterol.

 

 

Of course, this study was Italian. No American University will dare

publish adverse statin findings – for fear of losing funding for future

studies

from Big Pharma. Only the most slanted and tainted data is presented –

propping up a 20-billion-a-year scam that is paid for by **we the people.**

 

 

I*ll guarantee you that you won*t see this study in any national headlines

and doctors around the world will actively ignore it.

 

 

As I pointed out last December, the dramatic rise in heart failure rates

in the U.S. is timeline associated with the dramatic increase in the use of

statins - a scandal waiting to blow its lid.
