I have a question. Why is this happening? Why is CoQ10 not prescribed together with statins in this country as it is in other parts of the world? Is there some vast conspiracy in this country to maim and kill us older folk with a poison that masquerades as normal aging and ends with kidney failure, heart attack and death? our memory loss attributed to Alzheimer's disease? our muscle deterioration to ALS? Is this some kind of population control measure aimed at seniors?
In an article titled "THE ELDERLY HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO DIE" (SENATOR TOM DASCHLE) COALITION FORMED TO KILL OBAMACARE
Tom Daschle et al (D)South Dakota, former Senate Minority Leader, wrote in a 2008 book, Critical: What We Can Do about the Health-Care Crisis
“. . . The elderly have a responsibility to die, knowing that they are not going to survive their chronic illnesses, so that society can save money and pump funds into care for the younger, more worthy recipients.” Daschle was President Barack Obama’s choice to head the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services until he withdrew because of tax problems. Nevertheless, his ideas are found scattered throughout the healthcare bills now circulating on Capitol Hill.

In an article titled "THE HIDDEN ORIGIN OF STATIN DRUGS" by Shane Ellison, NewsWithViews.com, in 2005, he says:
|
Utilizing fundamental laboratory research, the discovery and isolation of lovastatin from red yeast rice was paid for by the U.S. government in the 1970s. *2 This secured a monopoly of knowledge, allowing for the censorship of the truth behind the wildly popular cholesterol-lowering drugs. *2 Thompson, Richard. Foundations for blockbuster drugs in federally sponsored research. The FASEB Journal. 2001;15;1671-1676.

Did you get that? According to this article the US government is censoring (officially suppressing) the truth about statins! At what point does "death by statin poisoning" become genocide on a massive scale?
Prohibiting doctors from telling the truth about statins is a huge governmental benefit. Not only are they relieved of the responsibility to tell their patients the risks inherent in taking them, the prohibition makes it possible for them to use silence, obfuscation and claims of ignorance to appear innocent of the damage that follows. The prohibition does not, however, require that doctors pressure their unsuspecting patients into taking statins. And they are doing exactly that!
Even to the point of ignoring and/or denying clear scientific evidence to the contrary, doctors are, almost en masse, relentlessly pushing statin drugs on their patients. Since statins have been on the market since 1987, it is impossibly naive to believe the same doctors that prescribe the drugs are ignorant of their side and after-effects. So are they telling patients the downside of taking them? No, they are not. And, when those life-threatening after-effects do appear, are they telling their patients the truth about the cause of their problems and how to reverse the symptoms if there is, in fact, still time enough to do it? Almost certainly not! Mine didn't.
Nobody knocks themselves out to buy statins on the street! They don't make anybody feel good! Some unwilling patients are persuaded by their doctor that a statin drug will protect them from heart attack and stroke. Other patients are persuaded by magazine and TV ads, but, either way, it's the prescription their doctor willingly writes that puts the drugs into their hands. (That patients "demand" it (like a child "demands" to play in traffic) simply doesn't wash!)
And it's not just ANY doctor writing the prescription, it's THEIR doctor! The doctor who knows them personally, whose competence is beyond question, whose sympathy and compassion they've experienced. The doctor who has helped them through times of crisis and pain. The one who would never deliberately harm them, would never deceive them into becoming the instrument of their own suffering and death.
Without question, patient trust is the asset doctors bring to the equation that has made the statin fiasco so successful. Without their active participation, statins would be a non-starter. So why are they betraying that trust?
In light of their Hippocratic Oath to "do no harm", why would doctors do that?
Is it all about the money? Are the pharmaceutical companies kicking back huge amounts of money to health care providers to push their pills, claiming that, by and large, they are beneficial and only a few of us will sicken and die? How would that work? Massive campaigns of dis-information, sales reps, pressure and perks to persuade doctors to cooperate? Research grants? Clinical trials? Data compilation? Direct payments? Or all the above? See Pfizer's Disclosure of Payments to HCPs frequently asked questions.
Is that enough, or is there more to it than that?
Today, there are two significant types of doctors. Those who are "tolerant" and those who are not. Regardless of how it's defined otherwise, in the medical profession the word "tolerant" indicates a doctor's willingness to accept a patient's input into their own care. Doctors who are not "tolerant" will not deviate from "the party line", the approved medical guidelines, whatever they are at the moment, no matter how right or wrong they have been shown to be.
It is not possible for this writer to know who wrote the "approved cholesterol guidelines" at the NIH (National Institute of Health) but it's a fair guess that many of the doctors and scientists involved had financial ties to Big Pharma. It has been reported that "not everyone's on the take. Dozens of honest doctors and scientists wrote a letter to the NIH to warn against the new guidelines and protest the conflict of interest". Clearly, with Big Pharma largely writing the official guidelines and then rewarding doctors who follow them or, as in the treatment of Lyme Disease, punishing those doctors who don't, it has become truly deadly for patients.
Caught between doctors' greed and/or fear, patients are on their own. Saving their own lives may depend upon finding a doctor who will allow them to take an active part in their own health care. Used as a benchmark, the doctor a patient has, or finds, who is "tolerant" and willing to vary from the official guidelines may be one whose good will and benevolence they can begin to trust. One who takes their Hippocratic Oath to "do no harm" seriously. At least until shown to be otherwise.
Faced with corruption in the NIH, dereliction of duty in the FDA, avaricious drug companies and irresponsibility of some doctors, every patient would be well advised to keep their own written, detailed account of their health care including the drugs prescribed, the following changes in their minds and bodies, what they reported to their doctors and his/her response to it. Bearing in mind that statin poisoning may be masquerading as aging or Alzheimer's or ALS or something else, this documentary record may be the only proof their families have should they not survive.

opened my eyes to the effects of statins on the mevalonate pathway, a critical reaction necessary for such processes as the production of energy in the body. Reading this, and the other books he has written, I have learned enough to understand that most of the physicians I have talked with about this have no idea about the dark side of these drugs.
paperback, and for the
, written by a cardiologist who formerly worked for/with Big Pharma and a PhD in Nutrition and Biochemistry co-authored this book which exposes the statin scam being perpetuated on America which would have ALL of us, including children on these dangerous and unnecessary drugs. Written in easy-to-understand laymen's terms but full of scientific information to back up their premise, it also details what REALLY puts the American public at risk for heart disease and stroke and offers suggestions for preventing this. I am recommending this to EVERYONE!
