Holistic Health

STATIN DRUGS

Dr. Forrest Smith shared that it is well known that statin medications, used by some 30 million Americans, are detrimental to muscles and zap energy. Worse than that, they also increase your risk for cancer and memory problems. So why are they still being prescribed and why are Americans still duped into taking them? Statin drugs are effective in lowering cholesterol but is doing more harm than good?

What is hypercholesterol anyway and is it responsible for heart attacks?  Hypercholesterolemia is the health issue of the 21st century. It is actually an invented
disease, a "problem" that emerged when health professionals learned how to measure
cholesterol levels in the blood. High cholesterol exhibits no outward signs--unlike other
conditions of the blood, such as diabetes or anemia, diseases that manifest telltale
symptoms like thirst or weakness--hypercholesterolemia requires the services of a physician to detect its presence. Many people who feel perfectly healthy suffer from high cholesterol-- in fact, feeling good is actually a symptom of high cholesterol!

Doctors who treat this new disease must first convince their patients that they are sick and need to take one or more expensive drugs for the rest of their lives, drugs that require regular checkups and blood tests.  The best predictors of a future heart attack come from prospective studies that follow healthy people for a number of years to determine which ones go on to develop heart disease, and then to figure out why. Because these are expensive trials, very few of them are done. But those that exist have indicated that cholesterol levels are, in fact, a very poor predictor of future heart attacks.

A heart attack is the death of muscle cells in the heart from a lack of oxygen. This occurs when blood flow can’t reach the heart because of a blockage or clot in the arteries caused by a clumping of blood platelets, or because of inflammation that causes an unstable plaque to break off and block the blood flow in the artery. Sometimes a spasm in the artery blocks the flow to the heart, or the heart goes into electrical chaos and simply stops its synchronized beating on its own. Heart attacks involve one or more of 4 key components:

1. Clot formation
2. Plaque instability
3. Vasospasm
4. Electrical chaos (sudden death)

None of these four causes of heart attacks has much to do with increased cholesterol levels.
