Lipoprotein(a) The Real Cause of Heart Disease?

[liverock]

As most statin drug patents have now run out the cost has dropped to 10% of what they used to cost. Drug companies have therefore been running studies and press campaigns to widen the net of users to make up for the lost profits.

The latest study claims that the side effects are minimal and people claiming are having normal everyday pains they would have whether they took statins or not.

Not surprisingly this has infuriated over 500 statin users who are readers of The Daily Telegraph to respond.

Far away from this hubub, Bill Sardi on why the mostly unacknowledged Lipoprotein(a) is really the cause of artery calcification and what to do about it.

There was a notice sent to all doctors from the FDA in 2012 telling them to take their patience off stains because it causes 52% diabetes and 100% dementia [Alzheimer].
Either the doctors don't read their notices or it is financially beneficial to push drugs.

I feel the FDA knows this too. They are just coverin their booties.
NO MEDIA picks up on it, either.

*Money is more important than some human. You can never have enough money. Victims are a dime a dozen. Wonder how many "doctors" take the drugs they prescribe?

I just heard on the local news that more statins may be prescribed. Apparently it has surpassed aspirin as the wonder drug of choice.

But hey.... The world population is unsustainable. Perhaps we should commend the FDA in their efforts to relieve this problem.

Not all medics are happy with statins,this vascular surgeon had a dangerously high cholesterol level and eventually came off them and now has even lower levels. A recent poll said 55% of doctors would not take statins or recommend them to relatives.
