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]
In UK there was going to be a parliamentary inquiry about stations. For a start the correlation of high cholesterol and heart attacks...its not there...high cholesterol has been found to actually prevent not cause and !ow cholesterol is more of a risk.
I am aware a panel of eight decided statins were necessary. 6 of the 8 were employed or affiliated with statin companies
BP ratings are different with different countries...who decided that we all should register between this and that? Are we all the same...no we.are not.
