Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Passing this along for your information Yesterday a half-hour program was aired by BBC Radio 4 based on information from some of our British members. If you still think that statin treatment is good for you, please listen!In this weeek´s issue of The New England Journal of Medicine the report from the unsuccesful ENHANCE trial was published, almost two years after it had been terminated. Not unexpectedly, at least for those who have been informed by THINCS´ members, a further lowering of cholesterol by a non-statin drug did not improve the angiographic changes of the coronary arteries; on the contrary. Read Sandy Szwarc´s report! Or the article by Ron Winslow in Wall Street Journal!Links to the above are available from our website www.thincs.org.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I am not a doctor so I stay away from telling you yes or no but rather forward links where one can read up and make up one's own mind. The cholesterol myths that we HAVE to lower it (and the levels of what is supposed to be safe have been lowered over the years mostly, if not only, to sell more statin drugs. Never mind the fact that we need cholesterol, a fact I hope is well known to most here ). There is a lot of info available on the use of red yeast rice. This is only one article. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/health/2004105644_astrid06.html Like with everything, learn as much as you can and make your own decisions based on what you have learnt and is good for you and your body.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 NEVE: Red Yeast Rice is just as bad.... when you belong to the school of thought that believes Cholesterol is NOT the problem............ therefore why take anything that will lower cholesterol..............
