Makers of Crestor now claim that people with normal cholesterol are also at risk for heart attack. Their study shows that if this group has a high level of hsCRP they lower their risk for heart attacks and arterial disease.
This even though hsCRP indicates generalized inflammation not just arterial and heart. Of course they didnt address the negative side effects of lowering your cholesterol below normal levels. Dr. Nissan of the Cleveland Clinic admits they will now get to treat a lot more people (Oh boy!).
One CNBC host asked no joke why statins are not put in the water supply. The response: That would be a Communist plot just like fluoride.

The mouth on the Today show was pushing this today, like she was pushing vaccines last week.

What they are talking about is true, It is the new book “hidden causes of heart Attack & stroke” by Christian Wilde . I think statins shouldn’t be in the water though & should be the persons choice to take them….They have been proven to help, although there are side effects you must make a choice between a future heart attack or maybe some side effects until you have it under control.

cholesterol is NOT the problem, though its a symptom of the problem. You treat the problem, not the symptom. Cholesterol shows up to help patch up over oxidized, inflammed and deteriorating arteries due to the body being very acidic, and a high sugar intake is one of the causes of this, NOT FAT. Blamming cholesterol is like blamming firemen for fire. Just because you see firemen at the scene of a fire doesn’t mean they started it. Go to google video and type in ‘Food as Medicine’ and watch that talk given by Jerry Brunetti. ESSENTIAL VEIWING

Crestor is metabolize through your liver and causes major problems after a few years, so what is worst high cholesterol or liver damage?
Crestor really doesn’t work but the liver damage is real.
Notice the language “it MAY” help people’s hearts etc
Well yeah lower cholesterol is better for your heart,
but crestor really doesn’t work in most people effectively
it’s a sale gimmick – there is no science behind this

If you want to avoid heart attacks…do a search for Dr. Alfred Libby’s Sublingual B-12 (you can buy it at Trivita). Keeps your homocistine levels normal and gives you a B-12 boost just like the shots you can get at a doctor’s office.

What a joke. Is this a news channel or the marketing department of Big Pharma? Just a bunch of drug pushers, pimps and prostitutes. Sorry I have nothing better to say about this trash that masquerades as journalism. Without any sense of irony or an ounce of shame, that media whore has the audacity to sit there and tell us that the the drug company is depending on these sales, and that it has funded the very doctor who holds a stake in the drug and is lecturing us on its benefits to already healthy people. Laughable if it wasn’t so criminal.
Here’s an idea…let’s just all sell our bodies to these drug-lords of Wall Street and hope for the best. I guess all our problems would be solved. What ever happened to living a healthy life-style and saying ‘no to drugs’; isn’t that what they teach our kids?
Cheers.

Did some one on there say it was all redy in the water.
November 10th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
How warped it is to drive by a school and see a bunch of D.A.R.E posters knowing that there are now kids in that school on big pharma drugs and just a couple decades ago when I was in that same school we all managed fine without that crap.
November 10th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Yes he said “they are in water in fact”.
November 10th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
Who in their right mind trusts these grinning idiots?!
Seriously.
Pharmaceutical industry profits depend on people being sick and upset. Do you think they’re going to risk their profits by working to help you attain real sustained health? No, they’re going to make damn sure that you get sick from their treatments. When side effects from their drugs need to be treated with other drugs, they make billions.
Makes me wonder who I’m more disgusted with – the low-lives pushing this crap or the naïve people that believe them and keep them in business.
Don’t fight the system:
Replace it

Cholesterol as cause of heart disease is a scam.
This are excerpts from Dr. Gregory Ellis’s Ultimate Diet Secrets
……….I found out, quickly, that the “cholesterol hysteria” was a scam. The
situation had been fabricated. In fact, the research showed that there was no
relationship between these two foodstuffs and heart disease at all.
At that time (1980), the nation was still several years away from the
massive public information campaigns sponsored by the American Heart
Association; the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. These institutions
promoted the National Cholesterol Education Program. The focus of this
program was to convince Americans about the risks they faced by consuming
fat and cholesterol.
……….
Eventually, the idea attained the powerful hold that it has today upon
the consciousness of everyone, everywhere. The era implicating dietary fat and
dietary and blood cholesterol as the causes of heart disease began in 1950.
It was then that we saw the development of a method to measure blood
levels of lipids. This started it all off. The developer of this technique proposed
that the levels of certain blood lipids (fats) were influenced and determined by
the amount and kind of fat in the diet. This, then, was the origin of the dietheart
hypothesis.
Soon afterwards, Dr. Ancel Keys and the American Heart Association
adopted the idea. Keys published a seminal paper entitled the Seven Countries
Study. In 1953, Keys, of the University of Minnesota, kick-started the dietheart
hypothesis. He propelled it into the national limelight.
In his study, Keys plotted the intake of fat for seven countries. He
showed the relation between fat intake and deaths from heart disease in seven
countries. The slope of the line seemed compelling. It demonstrated the highest
number of deaths from heart disease in those countries whose citizens’ dietary
fat intake was a large proportion ofI found out, quickly, that the “cholesterol hysteria” was a scam. The
situation had been fabricated. In fact, the research showed that there was no
relationship between these two foodstuffs and heart disease at all.
At that time (1980), the nation was still several years away from the
massive public information campaigns sponsored by the American Heart
Association; the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. These institutions
promoted the National Cholesterol Education Program. The focus of this
program was to convince Americans about the risks they faced by consuming
fat and cholesterol.
……….
The data arising from this authoritative study showed absolutely no
relation between the dietary intake of either fat or cholesterol with heart
disease. It also showed no relationship between blood levels of cholesterol and
heart disease.
Those data were never properly published. This is because the findings
conflicted with the positions held by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute and the American Heart Association. These institutions, apparently,
wanted to avoid any limitations or reductions in fund-raising. They needed the
cash to support executive salaries. They desired wealth accumulation.
The diet-heart hypothesis proved to be a generous funding source for its
supporters. Since the inception of the diet-heart hypothesis, 33 international
clinical trials have been completed. These trials studied the effect of diet
and/or drugs on blood cholesterol and rates of heart disease.
Mann tells us, “It is usual for collaborative investigators to continue
drawing on Federal funds for ‘follow-up.’ A collaborator thus has a key to the
U. S. Treasury so long as the diet-heart hypothesis can be kept afloat.”
Periodically, the institutional leaders organize “consensus conferences.”
The conference’s purpose is to support their position. The institution only
invites supporters of the diet-heart hypothesis; dissenters stay home. Dr.
Michael Oliver, a physician involved in the diet-heart hypothesis from its early
days, has tagged these conferences “consensus nonsensus.”
……….
Printed on the cover of his book, The Cholesterol Conspiracy is a
quotation from Dr. George Mann. Mann states, “Saturated fat and cholesterol
in the diet are not the cause of coronary heart disease. That myth is the
greatest scientific deception of the century, perhaps of any century.”
Smith goes on to describe the underlying treachery involved in the
promotion of “the big lie.” He describes how the cholesterol juggernaut rolled
over the world’s population. This rolling-over is supported by government
agencies and the American Heart Association. These institutions are, with
mostly manufactured evidence, forcing drastic changes in dietary habits.
Smith describes, in detail, the misinterpretations, the
misrepresentations, and the mistakes made by the pro-cholesterol forces. The
central achievement of his book was to unearth and describe what the public
hasn’t been told about cholesterol and fat.
……….
As the cholesterol theory of heart disease gained momentum, doctors
took it upon themselves to announce a new blood cholesterol value, a value
they deemed safe, a value derived from their phony research. They arbitrarily
lowered the safe blood level of cholesterol to a number that was lower than one
that was “biologically defensible.” They established the “new” safe level as 200
mg/dL. By doing so, they assured that more than 50% of the population would
be classified as having high cholesterol.
When dietary or non-pharmaceutical attempts to lower cholesterol to the
“new” safe zone fail (as they always will), they recommend the use of expensive,
Establishment-enriching drugs. That’s the only choice left. The expectations
are that one-third of the American population will have to make regular
physician visits and use drugs to meet these artificially established guidelines.
This enriches physicians as well as the food and pharmaceutical industries.
……….
And so on.

Crestor has been a known killer for a long time. Anybody in health care has known this. A while back, it was known to be a very dangerous drug. Now, all of the sudden, it is a wonder drug. Hmm…strange, don’t you think?
November 10th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
So…let me get this straight. Our government doesn’t care if people are homeless, unable to care for their families, unable to feed their families, unable to heat our homes…
…they don’t care that we are being raped financially, are pumped full of pesticides, squelch the REAL scientific research that shows GMO’s are truly bad for us…
…BUT…they are worried about our cardiovascular health. Give me a break!
Just like they are concerned about OUR TEETH so that is why they are putting fluoride in our water…Good God, if you are going to lie to us, at least make it a GOOD lie…not like the lame lies they are telling us now.
November 10th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
Well since they are already putting flouride in the water that rules out the whole communist plot thing huh? See the medication is one thing but now they are splitting hairs by fixing things that don’t need to be fixed, they need to actually fix fast food and things such as these which leads to all the problems with health today especially diabetes and heart disease my goodness. It’s not our bodies the human body was created to sustain all of these chemicals but like anything the constant bombardment of these things will eventually overcome the strongest body. That’s why they want to radiate peoples crops “especially green vegetables” they dont want people to live without giving their money to the dope man pharma he got what u need man!
November 10th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
As long as naive sheeple line up to take the crap they’re pushing, everything is as it should be. “Evil”, and “Stupid”, seem to bond a perfect union.
November 10th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
partners in crime, big pharma and big media conspiring how to better bleed the host. truly programming at it’s best more and more big pharma is expanding it’s claims that any given remedy can be good for everyone really, in effort to expand it’s profit and victim base.
big pharma is here to kill two birds with one stone. steal your energy and that by killing slowly. big media provides the cover story going in and getting out. all in cahoots with big agro, big banking, big intel, big defence industry, tied together with a bow of big politics.
this is all within the parameters of the Box. alternatives thrive beyond the box i pity those who are so captivated they can’t even imagine anything beyond the box. leave the box, don’t pull that wagon, don’t consent, innovate and render them irrelevant.
November 10th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
not only fluoride compounds are in the water, but also other drugs that are not removed in treatment or have leeched into the ground water supply like Prozac..

Use a reverse osmosis apparatus to filter your tap water. You can actually get one now that will fit on your countertop and attach to your tap. It takes almost everything out of the water.
November 10th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
water is natural -statins are man made. who do you trust?????
November 10th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
So all right, you armchair blowhards.
You have a perfect target to kick things off.
The CEO of the company making Crestor.
Make an example of this evil schidt and his family.
Now, what form of action you take is up to you to make an example of him and his.
God forbid you’d take any path of violence.
No, don’t go that way.
But do put him and his in the spotlight.
These a-holes are literally, “testing the waters,” with this one.
Blow them out of the water, proverbially speaking that is, God forbid, you don’t want to actually kill this cretin now, do you. Think what an example it would make of Joe Blow American, to kill one his Superiors and family. You would not look at all like a patriot who dearly loves his country and fellow American slaves, you’d look like a rabid dog that needed to be hunted down and shot. No, God forbid, perish the thought. No violence. Not under ANY circumstances. I know what goes through some of your minds. Don’t do it.
You can use your imagination and creativity to come up with a way to garner attention to those who hide behind the artificial entity that is a corporation.
Easy, isn’t it, when you get right down to brass tacks.
Grow a pair, you dummied down, low I.Q. pieces of white-trash flotsam who have no guts. Without cannon fodder like you, without whining, pussy cowards like you, without idiots in agreement with their own worst interests like you, there’d be no problems.
YOU are the problem, don’t you know?
That is why the largest percentage of you has simply got to go.
Depopulation on its way to a town near you.
Will you still be a frog in a tank of water that finally reaches the boiling point, or will you be a MAN? Like… right NOW?
Sleep well, you sad sacks, you suckers.

We know that Sodium Fluoride is a deadly poison that has been sinisterly engineered in to our drinking water under the guise of making ‘teeth whiter’. Fluoride has been linked to bone cancer and other ills as well as I.Q reduction. I am sure Crestor is bought and paid for by the globalists and soon another poison will be initiated into our drinking water.
November 10th, 2008 at 9:06 pm

If people take statins, that’ll put statins in the water, in fact that’s what he was probably thinking. Anything else is just not going happen.
Lotta nuthin here. All hype. Part of Alex’s necessary deal with the media devil that you all have to be subjected to this story and others, including the atrocious headlines.
November 10th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
Note they won’t tell you that the overall incidence of deaths of people taking statins is HIGHER than those not taking them. In an unbiased study some 70% of people with healthy hearts given statins developed problems with the diastole portion of the heartbeat within weeks, a sign of future heart disease. Also note the NNT (number needed to treat) numbers for statins, meaning the number of people you need to treat before one person is saved. That is usually 100-500, depending on the brand.

I know this website does its’ share of “Informing” but it sure does do a lot of “Fear Mongering” also.
Don’t be afraid of anyone or anything. There’s no reason for it. We all die every once and a while, physically.
And now, we’re waking up to smell our flesh rotting from the inside out. The only question is: are we going to continue to live in denial and ignorance or are we going to accept the fact that WE control our reality?
November 10th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
To “you are all too much” We all know you’re trying to incite violence in the “crazies” so that we will look more crazy and anyone reading your post will assume we are crazy, but it wont work, Im on to you, and I call it like I see it. So, nice try, you fucking plant.
