Dear, Dr Hilary, Where is the evidence for using statins? There is no published evidence that supports any link between cholesterol levels and heart disease. Statins have been implicated in cognitive disorder, low mood and depression leading to suicide. Peripheral neuropathy and muscular weakness, along with pain have been directly atributed to statins.
The mevalonate metabolic pathway is important for the production of Heme A, Dolichol, Ubiquinone and Preneylated Proteins, in addition to Cholesterol. The statins inhibit all of these important subtances with disasterous results. Heme A is responsible for energy transfer and is only found in the mitochondria. Without it, the cells age and die prematurely.
I will be happy to point you to as many pages of peer-reviewed and publisehed science as you need. Meanwhile, if you want to see the practical effect of statin administration, please look here... *http://www.gopetition.com/online/11757.html
Clearly we are beginning to see the tip of the iceberg insofar as iatrogenic conditions that have been mediated by statins. Statins are highly dangerous medications that interfere with cellular health at a very fundamental level. Unless that is recognised by the medical profession at large, we will be seeing more 'Statin Disease, than we ever thought possible.
The trials that you mention are in the main funded by the pharmaceutical companies and as for helping with cancer, it is widely acknowledged that every statin has been shown to be carcinogenic in test populations of rodents at or near the standard does for humans. What is sad, is just how little of this information gets to the public. We are required to trust our assigned NHS physicians and clinicians in the UK.
We, the denizens of the UK, have been badly let down by a medical profession that has accepted, without question, the junk science of Ansel Keys or of the equally tawdry Framingham study, in an uncritical way. People should be told the truth about these dreadful drugs, that have not been shown to be of anything other than marginal benefit, where the patient has already had one coronary thrombosis.
