Statin Drugs Are A Medical Sham & Scam - New Research Finds No Evidence Of Improved Survival
Although Big Pharma does its best to keep negative information about its drugs out of the spotlight, many people have heard about the dangers of statins by now. Nevertheless, some people feel that they are worth the risk, believing that their benefits outweigh any negative side effects that may occur. A new study shows, however, that this belief is false as there is no evidence that taking statin drugs improves a heart attack patient’s survival chances.
In fact, the study found that taking a statin daily over the course of five years following a heart attack only extended a person’s life by a mere four days, and there was no impact on decreasing deaths of any kind.
Statins are commonly prescribed to patients who have heart disease or are at risk of developing it, and they typically must take the drugs every day for the rest of their lives. Some drugs that fall into this category include the brand names Crestor, Zocor and Lipitor.
The study, which was published in Pharmaceutical Journal, was carried out by an international team of researchers at the New York University School of Medicine. The researchers had some harsh words for the pharmaceutical industry following these shocking results.
Big Pharma pulling the wool over our eyes
Dr. Esther van Zuuren, a senior researcher from Leiden University, said: “It’s time we look at the evidence and stop letting the pharmaceutical companies and food industry pull the wool over our eyes.”
The paper even went so far as to say that quitting statins could actually save more lives and improve the quality of life for people who take them, pointing out that statins cause side effects in 29 percent of users and only offer “the illusion of cardiovascular protection” in those who are obese.
Not only do these drugs not help those who have had a heart attack, but they also fail to provide benefits when used as a preventive measure. One out of every five Americans aged 40 to 75 is taking statins to prevent an initial stroke or heart attack, even though most people who take these drugs for primary prevention do not benefit from it yet still suffer the side effects. University of California Professor of Medicine Dr. Rita Redberg told CNN in April that of 100 people taking these drugs for primary prevention over the course of five years, even the best estimates show just one or two people avoiding a heart attack and none living longer. And what are they getting for their efforts? The side effects and health risks are staggering.

Statins are the cure for which there is no known disease. Cholesterol is NOT a disease; it's one of the most important substances in the body. Your brain is mostly cholesterol. Your sex hormones are built from cholesterol. Low cholesterol is strongly associated with depression and an increase in all-cause mortality.
Statins reduce the quality of life AND increase all-cause mortality.
I convinced my dad to stop taking Statins after he was having some really bad side effects, he couldn't go for a 10 minute walk at one point without his legs cramping up. After doing some research and hearing numerous Doctors speak out against them too he agreed to stop taking them and 4 years later is now a keen rower training 3-4 nights a week and racing almost every weekend. Fit as a fiddle!!
