very interesting topics
very nice
Dear Mellanie, I am sure your heart is in the right place. What alarms me is the messages you take to corporations and organisations you speak to nationwide about heart health. We need to develop en EDUCATED HEART so we are well informed, up-to-date and think outside the square. Also vigilant to the deceptions of the industry and disinformations, propaganda and hostility to independent research and evidence contradicting fraudulent claims. Your article is a mixture of good basic information and some myths and some errors. These contaminate your message and support unintended the industry aims that are profit driven, corrupt and even the regulatory authorities are either grossly ignorant, negligent or in bed with the industry. The said industry has some ethical exceptions but in the minority. How ever my aim is to educate and despite my strong criticism not to practice pharma-bashing. Drug companies are important part of healthcare but their behaviour shows their true colour most times.- Unfortunately. On page 2 paragraph 3: THE ERROR is the promotion of a drug instead lifestyle changes as a first step. But WVWN BIGGER ERROR is the belief that cholesterol IS THE PROBLEM! And continue promoting cholesterol lowering statins. Not wanting to write an essay here I urge you to research both cholesterol and statins and you will came across the truth that is not pretty. Just briefly: the developers of the "beneficial statins" are right for the wrong reason: it has been found recently that the benefit is not due to lowering cholesterol but their anti-inflammatory effect albeit on par with aspirin! Many natural alternatives exist that are ignored or even maligned: antioxidants, anti-inflammatoriess, that outperform statins big-timee without the damaging side effects. CoQ10 ever so important to every cell especially heart muscle cells is also lowered by statin's mode of action inhibiting cholesterol and CoQ10 synthesis in the liver. So a double whammy for the heart! One company toyed with the idea of incorporating CoQ10 in the statin tablet but shelved the idea. Why? What goes on is criminal and immoral! We are at risk! Even good doctors tow the line following the practice guidelines placing their trust in them trust that is un-earned and abused. Few are brave and risk revoking their practice licence by speaking up and do the right thing. One such respected thoracic surgeon did just that, got out of the yoke and set up his clinic to test and validate his ideas and publish the results. I think you deserve that I alert you to one of the site: thecholesterollie.com It is not an attack but an eye-opening act. Page 3 # 4: is the best part of your article. Since you will find cholesterol is not the problem ever, and the industry realised the implication to profit, recognizing the annti- inflammatory effect, quickly pressed CRP into service and to resque statins: inflammation the culprit, stain lowers inflammation here is the solution. Simple. Or is it? (Refer to natural alternatives above). Incidentally the Jupiter trial was stopped early on the pretext at 6 months out of the 2 year intended results were so positive they said no need to continue. That was a lie. Data started to emerge if they continued the wild claims would be dented. Check out the full story and details of the trial, patient selection especially. Incidentally Dr.Richter part holder of the patent on CRP. He was involved with the trial. The unethical behaviourr and primitive reasoning pilloried cholesterol,lionisedd statin and cowed authorities, laughing all the way to the bank whilepatientss been harmed wilfully, and relatives walked behind the funeral carriage in grief... What's your comment? be well! joseph.
