\r\n \r\n Thank you Ted for bringing this vital information to the forum,I have watched both episodes with interest.
\nIt was heartening to see those Drs that had the guts to come on tv and state how bad Statins are for us,I was really surprised to see that surgeon from the RPAHospital was still pushing the statins, but I guess when you are getting a big kick back of money from the drug companies,and you are money driven then you wouldn\'t care about the harm its doing to people,there are too many Drs of the same ilk.\r\n

\r\n \r\n While the mainstream medical journals are trumpeting the news that CRP is a more accurate predictor of CAD than cholesterol, LEF have been saying this for more than a decade.

HEART OF THE MATTER PART 2 - CHOLESTEROL DRUG WAR
It's up now to view in UK.

PS Note the disclaimer they start (and end) the programme with.
They were forced to add this.
Bear in mind NO ONE suffers from a natural STATIN deficiency state.
We may possibly suffer from Vitamin D, Omega 3 Magnesium and melatonin insufficiency and each of these anti-inflammatory agents have benefits that statin medications mimic.

Nice to see Professor Beatrice Golomb
She's done loads of work on Statin Side Effects.

if anyone thinks the mention of criminal action on the part of big pharma is paranoid please read these.
