Statin Genocide - How Cholesterol Lowering Drugs Kill You and Why
by Ralph W. Lotz, Jr. March 2, 2008
Statins Kill. They are drugs developed to fight a disease that doesn't exist, HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA. With one out of two people dying from cardiovascular events, i.e. heart attacks, strokes and peripheral artery disease related to complications of diabetes, CHOLESTEROL has been made out to be Public Enemy Molecule #1.
NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH! When you read The Cholesterol Myths, the scales will fall from your eyes. Actually, high cholesterol may protect against infections and atherosclerosis.
Statin Drugs provide a deadly and dangerous diversion away from the true cause of cardiovascular disease, which is Chronic Scurvy caused by a genetic defect in humans. Read Ezekiel's Medicine | God’s Low-Cost Health Care Plan!
Here are the Statin Drugs. They are manufactured from yeast, mold and bacterial extracts. These toxic unnecessary poisons usually have at least two names, one branded, (LIPITOR) and one generic (Atorvastatin). LIPITOR IS THE MOST PROFITABLE DRUG IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD With 2006 Sales Over $12.9 Billion Dollars! It is also sold as Sortis, Torvast, Torvacard, Totalip, Tulip, Xarator, Atorpic, Liprimar, and Atorlip. Pfizer also packages the drug in combination with other drugs, such as Caduet.
Other Statins include:
Cerivastatin - ( Baycol®, Lipobay®) Withdrawn from market by
BAYER due to toxicity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerivastatin
Fluvastatin - (Lescol®, Canef®)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluvastatin
Lovastatin - (Mevacor®, Advicor® (as a combination with
niacin), Altocor®, Altoprev®, Statosan® (Atos Pharma) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lovastatin
Mevastatin - Mevastatin is not used in therapy of hyperlipidemias because
of multiple side effects but it is the only source for
production of another statin - pravastatin.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mevastatin
Pitavastatin - It has been available in Japan since 2003, and is being
marketed under licence in South Korea and in India.[2] It is
likely that pitavastatin will be approved for use in
hypercholesterolaemia(elevated levels of cholesterol in the
blood) and for the prevention of cardiovascular disease
outside South and Southeast Asia as well.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitavastatin
Pravastatin - (marketed as Pravachol or Selektine)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pravastatin
Rosuvastatin - (Crestor) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosuvastatin
Simvastatin - Zocor® Reference: Drug Discovery Today editorial, 2005.[7]
Simvastatin was initially marketed by Merck & Co under the
trade name Zocor, but is now also available generically in
most countries following the patent expiry. A combination of
Simvastatin along with Ezetimibe is currently sold under the
brand name Vytorin and is jointly marketed by Merck and
Schering-Plough.
Brand names: Zocor®, Zocor Heart Pro®, marketed by the
pharmaceutical company Merck & Co. and Denan (Germany),
Liponorm, Sinvacor, Sivastin (Italy), Lipovas (Japan), Lodales
(France), Zocord (Austria and Sweden), Zimstat, Simvahexal
(Australia), Lipex (Australia and New Zealand), Simvastatin-
Teva, Simvacor, Simvaxon, Simovil (Israel), Simvotin (India)
and other.
The primary US patent for Zocor expired on June 23, 2006;
Ranbaxy Laboratories (at the 80-mg strength) and Teva
Pharmaceutical Industries through its Ivax Pharmaceuticals
unit (at all other strengths) were given approval by the FDA
to manufacture and sell simvastatin as a generic drug with
180-day exclusivity. Dr. Reddy's Laboratories also has a
license from Merck & Co. to sell simvastatin as an authorized
generic drug.
Ezetimibe/simvastatin is a combination product to lower lipids
and marketed as Vytorin.

Do Cholesterol Drugs Do Any Good? Cover Story January 17, 2008, 10:00AM EST Research suggests that, except among high-risk heart patients, the benefits of statins such as Lipitor are overstated. by John Carey
http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/08_04/b4068052092994.htm
ALL cardiovascular lowering and blood pressure drugs contribute to nutritional deficiencies that cause heart failure. Statins are especially dangerous because they are CANCER FERTILIZER according to The People's Chemist, Shane Ellison.
Here are a few gems from Shane Ellison's Blog:
Dr. Jarvik - Lipitor Pusher - Fired AGAIN 1. Cholesterol-lowering drugs decrease CoQ10 levels within the heart. This essential nutrient serves as an energy producing molecule and is crucial to proper cardiovascular function. Without it, the heart fails. Congestive heart failure is the outcome. This was highlighted when Merck, makers of the first cholesterol-lowering drug, filed for a patent for its profit-pulling “Mevacor.”
2. Cholesterol-lowering drugs can also destroy memory. Cholesterol works to ensure the integrity of the “myelin sheath.” This coating within the brain is responsible for encouraging the passage of electrical messages. It is needed for memory and focus. As the cholesterol-lowering drugs deplete cholesterol the myelin sheath breaks down. Memory deteriorates.
3. Cholesterol-lowering drugs can increase the risk of cancer. Studies show they mimic a growth factor responsible for its proliferation. The growth factor is known as VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor). VEGF is “cancer fertilizer.” Thus, Cholesterol-lowering drug users are creating an environment within their body conducive to cancer growth.
According to USA Today, the U.S. Government is not sending out warnings either. They reported, “Statins have killed and injured more people than the government has acknowledged.” [3]

THE STATIN SCAM MARCHES ON
By Byron J. Richards, CCN

Considering that tens of millions of Americans now take statins to lower cholesterol, the following headline was conspicuously absent from the major media this month: “Statins Found to Turn On Gene that Causes Muscle Damage.” It’s now a fact of science; a new study shows that taking statins destroys your muscle to a greater or lesser degree. And let’s not forget that the heart is a muscle.
Furthermore, in THE TRUTH ABOUT CHOLESTEROL By Dr. James Howenstine, MD. February 20, 2005 NewsWithViews.com we learn that

Cholesterol is not really the villain portrayed in the pharmaceutical ads. It is actually a vital substance needed in every cell of the body as it is the chemical precursor from which the body produces bile acids, provitamin D3, male and female sex hormones, and adrenal hormones (hydrocortisone and aldosterone that regulates sodium and potassium balance). Cholesterol is needed to construct the important membranes which surround cells.
-
The current dogmas about treating cholesterol are formulated by a committee named National Cholesterol Education Program NCEP. This committee is a part of the National Institute of Health within the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.
-
Two years ago Dr. Julian Whitaker proposed to the FDA that the package insert supplied with a statin drug contain information that statin drugs decrease the levels of the critical nutrient CoQ 10 in patients. He wisely suggested. that all patients taking statin drugs should also be taking 100 to 200 mg. of CoQ 10 daily to avoid complications (heart failure, muscle breakdown with potentially fatal kidney failure {myoglobulinuria}, muscle weakness, peripheral neuritis, transient global amnesia etc.) The FDA ignored Dr. Whitaker's suggestion because admitting that there was a danger from statin drugs, even if true, might hurt the sales of statin drugs. ( ed. Thus protecting the Cholesterol Driven Statin-Perpetual-Money-Making Machine. The resulting health crisis is maybe worse than the Vioxx® debacle, also created by FDA's failure to act on adverse safety information. "STATIN DRUG CRISIS LOOMS LARGER THAN "VIOXX®" . On November 29, 2004, Whitaker filed a second petition with FDA, notifying that agency of Health Canada's insistence on use of the warning and demanding that FDA do the same without delay. Via counsel, Whitaker has sent letters to the Acting FDA Commissioner Lester Crawford and to Senate Finance Committee Chairman Charles Grassley urging action.) Contact FDA here. Contact Senate Finance Committee Chairman Charles Grassley here. Enough is enough!)

Cholesterol Is Not A Major Cause Of Arterial Disease
Several factors appear to be of greater importance than cholesterol in causing arterial disease. Among these are deposition of toxic metals in the lining endothelium of arteries, Vitamin C deficiency, excessive amounts of lipoprotein (a), inflammation in arteries, excessive clotting of blood, homocysteine elevation (hyperhomocystinemia) and dangerous foods.
An important study by Dr. Harlan Krumholz revealed that persons with low cholesterol levels over the age of 70 died twice as often from heart attacks[3] as older persons with high cholesterol values. Most studies in old persons have shown that cholesterol is not a risk factor for coronary artery disease. Approximately 90 % of cardiovascular disease is seen in persons over 60 years of age. Almost all studies have shown that high cholesterol is not a risk factor for women.[4] This leaves cholesterol as a risk factor for less than 5 % of those persons dying of a heart attack.
-
High cholesterol values protect against infection. In a review of 19 studies involving 68,000 persons low cholesterol values revealed an increased risk for dying from lung and gastrointestinal diseases. Both lung and g.i. diseases are often related to infections. This information was confirmed by a 15 year study of 100,000 healthy persons in the San Francisco area. Persons entering this study with low cholesterol values were more often admitted to hospitals because of infectious diseases.[5] Patients with a history of a sexually transmitted disease or liver disease were twice as likely to develop HIV infection[6] over 7 to 8 year follow up if they had a low cholesterol value when entering the study.

One Damn Good Reason to Avoid Cholesterol Lowering Drugs
By Shane "The People's Chemist" Ellison, M.Sc.
Copyright 2008 (c) http://www.thepeopleschemist.com
I've been called a lot of different things. Science Nerd... Professor... and Cholesterol Lowering Drug Nazi are among those that can be mentioned here. The only one I'll admit to is being a Cholesterol Lowering Drug Nazi.
Cholesterol lowering drugs (statins) amass billions of dollars each year pretending to be a safe and effective way to protect against heart disease. Yet science shows that these drugs represent a clear and present danger to your health. In addition to lowering cholesterol, they elicit some really nasty side-effects. Lou Gehrig's (ALS) disease is just one of them.
ALS occurs when cells of the nervous system (brain and spinal chord) become inactive. This can result from many cellular dysfunctions. But it usually results from a protein entanglement within the nerve cell. Once tangled, these cells can no longer pass electri cal messages through the body, resulting in a loss of voluntary muscle control. As time passes, muscle wasting (a Science Nerd would call it atrophy) results. Victims of ALS usually die from inability to breathe when muscle loss has reached an extreme.
The national average of those who suffer from ALS is a mere .0005 percent. But - sit down for this one - among those who reported suffering from "drug induced ALS," nearly a third were using cholesterol lowering drugs! Apparently, this class of drugs can "tangle" a protein known as "tau proteins".

But protecting yourself from premature heart disease does not mean you have to put yourself at risk of wiping out your nervous system. You can do it with four simple tactics: Minimize your sugar intake, take part in interval training, maintain healthy vitamin D levels by spending time in the sun, and supplementing with cod liver oil.

At the end of WWII, with the development of the first computers, many people in the Eugenics Movement, Neo- Malthusanists, started breathing life into the non-sensical theory that human population overgrowth would lead to disasters, famines and floods, human misery and the extinction of the human race. This Malthusian Theory is shared by many Secular Humanists, Socialists and Communists who being atheists, deny the existence of Almighty GOD, GOD'S Creation, The Bible, The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit. GOD has been usurped. Man is on the throne, the captain of his own ship. (actually SATAN is at the wheel)
But GOD is not mocked: Gal 6:7 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. (KJV)
Heb 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (KJV)
Without GOD, man is "up the creek without a paddle."
This anthropocentric delusion, this Malthusian Theory is predicted in Rom 1:22-25 : 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (KJV)
Expressed in" Dirty Harry" Theology, Man Has Become A Legend in His Own Mind.
The Malthusian Gloom and Doom Movement got a shot in the arm from The Population Bomb (1968) a book written by Paul R. Ehrlich. A best-selling work, it predicts disaster for humanity due to overpopulation and the "population explosion". "In the 1970s and 1980s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death".
