When you are at the point of open heart surgery you will die without it. I don't think something from the health food store will be an adequate substitute. No surgery means you die. No amount of herbs will solve your problem.

This idea that Pharmaceutical Companies are purposefully killing people is pretty naive. Why do you suppose they would want to be sued for Billions? They don't, is the answer to that nonsense.

It was not so long ago that the US system of drug approval was under fire for taking too long and being too careful, while people who could benefit die. Damned if they do; damned if they don't, fits in nicely here.

The greatest monetary scam in human history is the sale of statins to millions of people, few of whom will benefit. The entire "cholesterol causes heart attacks" theory has never been proven. There is now an epidemic of congestive heart failure which began when statins first hit the market. Statins block the body's synthesis of coenzyme-Q, which is concentrated mostly in the the heart muscle. Merck holds 2 patents for combining coenzyme-Q with a statin, but no such combo drug was ever produced. Why?

"When you are at the point of open heart surgery you will die without it."

I think that that statement is exactly what those who are making and trying to profit from the drug want each and everyone to believe. I think a better way to say that is that there may be a possibility that you will die without it. There is no way at all for anyone to know that you will, without any doubt, die from a surgical procedure if you choose to not receive a particular drug.

"It was not so long ago that the US system of drug approval was under fire for taking too long and being too careful, while people who could benefit die."

An interesting and difficult point. It is definitely a difficult thing for one to see a drug that might help a loved one delayed due to FDA approval, but I would hope that those involved would also be able to see that it is important for the FDA to know everything that they can possibly know about it before approving it. How much worse would they feel upon finding out that that the drug they were hoping would save their loved one was what killed them?

"Dr. Raymond rifles machine"?

What is that? I tried looking for information on it, but found nothing.

First they "fast-track' drugs through the FDA.

Just the thought of that happening should be illegal in my mind.

I see this term used by you and also in previous posts, but I don't know what they are exactly, so what exactly are "Statins"?

Anyone who knows can feel free to answer that.


Thanks for your time.

If you were selling statins, a great way to double or triple your sales would be to simply create a panel of "experts" who invent an ideal or recommended cholesterol level which is below that of the majority of the population.
The current recommendations were made by a panel of 9 members.
ATS question: could anyone guess how many of these members have financial ties to big pharma?

The answer is 8 out of 9. By the way, studies show that in the elderly low cholesterol levels are associated with a higher mortality(death) rate.

There are a few different websites that you can go to to find whether or not a specific naturopathic or homeopathic medication will work for you.

Try abchomeopathic.com It is a good website where you can specifically type your symptoms in and after a series of questions asked, will narrow your options of homeopathic or herbal medicines down to a small list you can take to a natural health foods store and purchase your medicines.

My niece came to my house yesterday with a fever and cold. Runny nose, the whole nine-yards. She also came with a little bag full of medications that will "help her". Not at all. She had tylenol, cold and flu medicines, motrin, and a few prescription meds, all stuffed in a small bag and individually labeled. Yes, maybe these medications will help aleivate some of her symptoms or possibly even completely reverse her fever and make her feel better, however, if a homeopathic or herbal remedy is available which will do the same, if not better of a job, why not use it?

I drove to the store, purchased some items for her and within about 4 hours she was doing much better. It is true that homeopathic medicines do take a little longer to work, but it is because they are working on correcting the problem, not masking it.

The other think to consider is that the world needs people to be sick to keep a lot of people in business. Imagine what it might look like if cancer was really cured. Tens of thousands of people would be out of a job. Scanners that cost millions of dollars to build would be worthless and the people operating donation centers, making pink ribbons and sending out mailings would be moving on to other jobs - that might not be available. And the researchers? What then? What do they do? You see, as bad as it is to have a population of people dying of diseases, it financially keeps this world moving. I don't agree - that is why I am reading and writing on this site. I do so because it is true.

A year ago I was traveling to Africa and needed my "shots" before I left. I was not going to get anything except what I absolutely needed. When I left the office 4 injections later, I was angry that I allowed the nurse to convinence me I was in danger by not having all my shots. I left with a polio booster. The next morning, I couldn't walk. I called to tell them of my symptoms, but they had nothing to do with it. I called for two weeks but was ignored until I realized that I would never be heard. I had a negative reaction and no one would listen to my complaint. I ended up using thieves oil on the base of my feet and almost immediately my pain let up and within 5 days I was walking normally again.

It doesn't surprise me about the drug recall and it being sent overseas. We are the American White and because people think we are here to help, they will do whatever we want.
