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]
Read The Clot Thickens - a very revealing book that covers several topics including cholesterol. Read it and you'll know a lot more than most "medical doctors".
Also The Cholesterol Myth.
Cholesterol synthesizes the vitamin D in your body.....
Think about the statins and the lack of vitamin D in most people.
Having read it, I can concur with the latter.
