Do Statins Save Lives? Doctors Don’t Agree!
How good are statins for preventing heart attacks in primary prevention? More important, do statins save lives? Read surprising new results.
Testimony:
One of the most surprising findings of this study is that the association between LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and heart disease is “weak or inconsistent.”
My brother was at his doctor's office & the doc recommended a statin. My bro asked if his cholesterol was high. Doctor's answer: no, statins are a preventative. My brother's next question: "are you taking a statin?" Doc's answer: "NO." Response from my brother, "then why should I?"
End of discussion. My brother has been a medical malpractice attorney for over 40 yrs with a degree in biology from Harvard & a law degree from UTexas. - [fren on another forum]
I will totally agree with your findings...was on statins for long time, dr added Zetia which i think works in bowels rather than blood...zetia seemed to kick cholesterol way down, so i asked if i can just take zetia ($10. per pill at the time) was told no must be with statins...so then, i mysteriously became diabetic, doesn't run in my family...started reading, turns out statins cause diabetes in post-menopausal women, didn't say anything about men, but probably same about diabetes, so dr rx'd metformin for diabetes...so, stopped taking statins, continued zetia which is now available as generic, started the turmeric/black pepper for cholesterol, and cinnamon capsules for diabetes...all normal now and liver function good...lately added a couple tsp of raw unfiltered honey at bedtime, and benefits are great for all kinds of things, including liver repair, anti inflammatory, anti-fungal, etc...many articles on the honey at bedtime thing now...must be raw and unfiltered, not easy to find, but worth the effort...good health, friends!
Excellent news!! If you add honey to a cup of tea always check the temperature by placing your pinky in the water. If it's too hot for your finger, it is too hot to add honey. The excess heat will destroy all of the health benefits of honey. I study the science of Ayurveda that is an ancient holistic medical system of India
thanks for your info...pls share any other holistic info you think is important...
